The Locusts Manor Guides
Every how-to for leaving the nest, from slide tech to the EXIT door.
This hub is the map of every walkthrough on The Locusts Manor Wiki. House of The Locust is a pre-alpha Roblox escape: you are dropped into wallpapered halls while The Locust hunts the lobby, and the only clean way out is a three-item lock on a green EXIT door. If you are new, start with How to Play The Locusts Manor, then run the full escape chain. If you already know the nest and keep dying on one step, jump straight to the cube puzzle or the Keycard standoff. After the intelligence pass, read how to evade. After the lighting maps, read Lights Out. The rare tick is the Escaped badge.
Players search this game under several names. The Roblox listing is House of The Locust (place 86247128610772) by NULLWORKS STUDIOS. Comment sections and short-form clips also call it The Locusts Manor or The Locust’s Manor. This wiki treats those names as the same experience. It does not cover MM2 of The Locust or The Locust - Survival, which share the DoctorNowhere creature and almost nothing else.
What a complete run actually asks for
Every successful escape, on the current pre-alpha nest, follows the same four jobs. The randomized part is where cubes and cabinets spawn, not whether you need them.
- Seat the red, yellow, and blue cubes on matching pads so a rope drops the Wirecutters.
- Search wooden cabinets until the Key appears, cancelling empty prompts to save seconds.
- Take the Keycard off The Locust without walking into an instant kill.
- Use Wirecutters, then Key, then Keycard on the EXIT door and walk the bright corridor for the Escaped badge.
The escape walkthrough is the page that holds that chain in order. The cube puzzle guide is the page that holds pad routes, the stair trick, and stuck-cube jiggling. The Keycard guide is the page that holds geometry pins, wall-gap grabs, and death pickups.
How to use these guides during a live lobby
Do not read a novel while The Locust is on your heels. Open the hub on a second monitor or a phone, pin the one step you are stuck on, and keep audio on. Footsteps and breathing are better radar than any on-screen marker. If you play with a squad, assign roles before the first sprint: one runner draws the hunter, one cube carrier never sprints with a cube, one cabinet sweeper Cancels empty searches. The co-op role tier list explains why that split beats three people chasing the same red cube.
Free Roam is the practice mode NULLWORKS ships for movement. There are no puzzle objectives there, but The Locust still patrols, so you can learn slide angles, one-cube-high walls, and the sound of a chase without burning a real escape attempt. Pair Free Roam with the controls tool until slide-from-sprint is muscle memory.
Pre-alpha caveats you should expect
The listing still says PRE-ALPHA VERSION (expect bugs). Cube positions, cabinet contents, and The Locust’s pathing can shift after a patch. The Boiled One update added Lights On / Lights Out maps and a new escape sequence on 31 August 2026, so a clip from mid-August may no longer match pad locations. When a YouTube route disagrees with what you see in-game, trust the live lobby and fall back to the jobs (cubes, Key, Keycard, EXIT), not a memorized left-right-left path.
The Escaped badge sits around a 2.5 percent unlock rate, which is the game telling you the hunt is the point. Tutorial Completed is almost unused. Neither badge is a code, a gamepass, or a hidden Trello card. There is no public developer Trello; the links hub keeps the Roblox page and the honest “no Trello” note in one place.
Adjacent pages that are not walkthroughs
Guides answer how to play, how to get, how to find, and how to beat. Other hubs answer different searches:
- Codes — currently none, plus how to redeem a future drop.
- Entities — The Locust as a hunter, not as a puzzle step.
- Tiers — which jobs and items to value first.
- Scripts — community tools, with the usual account-risk warning.
- Updates — Boiled One timing and what Lights Out changes.
- Tools — keyboard, mobile, and slide tech in table form.
If you only open one page after this hub, make it How to Play for a first hour or the escape walkthrough for a badge run.
Video and screenshot policy on this wiki
Walkthrough pages embed one real YouTube video in the middle of the article, never a invented ID and never a stack of clips at the footer. Screenshots on this hub and on child pages are downloaded copies of official Roblox media or in-game frames, not hotlinked thumbnails. If a creator re-records the same cube route, we keep a single canonical page instead of cloning the text.
Treat every guide as a living note. When NULLWORKS ships another intelligence pass or a new anomaly, the jobs may stay the same while the geometry changes. Come back to this hub, pick the child page that matches the step that just killed you, and run it again with audio on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for The Locusts Manor on Roblox.
Which guide should I read first?
New players should open How to Play The Locusts Manor. If you already died on the EXIT door, skip to the escape walkthrough.
Do I need all three items every run?
Yes. Wirecutters, Key, and Keycard are all required on the current EXIT door. The cube puzzle is how Wirecutters drop.
Why do YouTube routes fail after an update?
The build is pre-alpha. Pad and cabinet spawns move. Trust the four jobs, then re-scout. Check updates after a banner change.
Is there a Trello for these puzzles?
No public Trello is listed. Puzzle steps live on this hub and the links page.
