The Locusts Manor How to Evade The Locust

The Roblox listing for House of The Locust now wears a [BOILED ONE] prefix, and the banner that shipped with it promised improved Locust intelligence. Clips from late August show the hunter sprinting more often and climbing walls that used to be a free high-ground perch. This page is the evade lesson. The steal that uses the same body is still how to get the Keycard. The four-item door is still the escape walkthrough.

The video in the middle of this article is a real House of The Locust recording of the climb. Treat it as a warning, not as a speedrun. Pre-alpha pathing will shift again.

What changed after the intelligence pass

Older clips taught a cheap loop: stand on a one-cube wall or a chandelier landing, taunt, watch The Locust run into the mesh forever. That still happens sometimes. It is no longer a contract. Creators recorded the hunter hopping the same lip they used as a safe zone. If your plan is “I have the high ground,” you need an exit slide, not a picnic.

The hunter also commits to sprints more greedily. Straight halls were already losing. They are now a donation. Controls still matter: sprint is for rugs, slide is for doorframes, jump is for one-cube lips — and those lips are no longer exclusive to you.

IT CAN CLIMB WALLS NOW — House of The Locust

Audio tells that still work

• Distant footsteps: finish a Cancel, then move.
• Close footsteps: drop the cube, slide.
• Breathing: it is in your pocket, maybe on the other side of the wall.
• A line players quote in comments — “I am hungry” — is a voiced tell, not a joke. If you hear a line, treat it like breathing. You are already late.

Play with audio on. Lights Out from the Boiled One maps makes this section mandatory. ESP scripts copy these tells into a red outline and still do not shrink the hitbox.

Slide loops, not taunt loops

The geometry pin is still the consistent Keycard window: bait a sprint through a doorway, let The Locust eat the frame, grab through the gap, leave. The difference is patience. One frame of contact is not a pin. Wait for a stuck cycle. If the cycle breaks into a climb, abort the steal and reset the bait. Greedy second tries are how “he had enough” clips get recorded.

High ground is a pause, not a win. Use it to Search a cabinet you can Cancel from, or to watch a teammate seat a cube. Do not emote. The hunter can hear sprint and, now, can join you on the ledge.

Safe spots that are actually habits

There is no named safe room in the nest. What players call a safe spot is a habit:

• A corner with two exits, never a dead-end cabinet alcove.
• A doorframe you have already used as a pin, so you know the mesh.
• Free Roam practice of the same corner until slide-out is boring. How to Play is where that practice belongs.

Public lobbies add flares. A tourist screaming on voice is a beacon. If you cannot control the stack, play as if every teammate is bait you did not hire. The co-op roles page exists so a four-stack assigns an actual bait instead of four people discovering the climb at once.

How this interacts with the other hunter

The Boiled One is a Lights Out anomaly, not a reskin. Do not assume it climbs the same lips or carries the Keycard. Evade rules on this page are for The Locust. If the live lobby is dark and the model is wrong, switch pages. Do not invent a hybrid.

After you stop dying to the chase

Go back to jobs. Wirecutters still come from cubes. The Key still comes from cabinets. The card still comes off the hunter. The Escaped badge still sits near 2.5 percent because the chase, not the puzzle, cuts runs. Intelligence passes change the chase. They have not added a fourth item or a Trello.

If a future banner says intelligence again, re-test your favorite ledge in Free Roam before you trust last week’s taunt. This page will move when the climb does.
