Escape the Backrooms Level 10 — Windmills Guide and Walkthrough

Updated 2026-06-02

What Is Level 10?

Level 10 is an endless field of tall grass with giant windmills in the distance. It is one of the most open levels in the game. No walls to hide behind. The entity here is fast and relentless.

How to Navigate

  • Use the windmills as landmarks. They all look similar, so note unique features.
  • Stick to the edges of the map. The entity spawns more frequently in the center.
  • Crouch in tall grass to break line of sight.
  • Listen for the wind chime sound. That means the entity is nearby.

The Entity: The Observer

The Observer is a tall humanoid figure that patrols the fields. It does not chase immediately. It watches first. If you run, it runs. If you hide in the grass and stay still, it loses interest after about 30 seconds.

Bring a lot of stamina items. You will need to sprint between safe spots. Almond water is your best friend here.

Exit Location

The exit is a concrete bunker door in the ground. It can spawn near any windmill. Check every windmill base. The door has a faint glow at night. In daytime, look for the metal handle sticking out of the grass.
