Honcho

Honcho is tied to a distinctive executive-office sequence that players can miss or see behave differently between runs.

Encounter type
Executive-office encounter
First cue
An office or elevator transition leads away from the normal corridor cadence.
Primary response
Treat the sequence as a one-run objective: inspect the room and finish its interactions before taking the exit.

Step-by-step response

  1. Pause when the route changes into the executive-office sequence.
  2. Search the office methodically before using the next elevator or exit.
  3. If the event does not progress, capture the door and server state before restarting.

Field notes

  • Launch-day reports describe inconsistent appearance and progression.
  • The encounter is a poor place to speedrun until its trigger is better documented.
  • A failed appearance may be run-specific; it does not prove the route was permanently changed.
