Afraid Monkeys Level 0 Walkthrough

What Is Level 0?

Level 0 acts as the onboarding zone for Afraid Monkeys. The developer Osk Monkeys designed it as a short cave or tunnel sequence where you learn the core loop: move through dark corridors, pick up interactable objects, and survive long enough to find the way out. Unlike the later facility levels, Level 0 has fewer branching paths, but the infected monkeys still patrol and will end your run instantly if they catch you.

Players often compare Level 0 to the opening sections of similar Gorilla Tag horror experiences like Lethal Ape or Scary Baboon. The low-resolution aesthetic and jump-scare pacing are intentional 鈥?they signal that this is not a casual lobby game but a survival horror experience where sound, line of sight, and group movement all matter.

Level 0 Objectives

Your primary goal in Level 0 is to reach the exit portal or elevator that advances you into the main facility. Along the way you should practice interacting with scrap objects using the on-screen prompts. Even though Level 0 rewards are modest, collecting pipes and screws teaches the economy loop that powers your later purchases in the lobby shop.

Secondary objectives include observing how other players move 鈥?follow experienced runners when you are unsure which tunnel branch leads forward. The community often leaves subtle visual cues near correct paths, such as clustered player bodies or repeated foot traffic patterns.

• Locate the main tunnel entrance after spawning
• Collect any visible scrap without overextending into dead ends
• Identify safe alcoves where monkeys cannot reach you
• Reach the Level 0 exit without dying more than once

Enemies on Level 0

Level 0 infected monkeys behave similarly to later zones but patrol smaller areas. Shadow figures and security-type entities may appear at tunnel intersections. If you see a silhouette standing still, assume it can detect movement 鈥?freeze briefly or backtrack rather than sprinting past blindly.

Unlike Level 1's Chainsaw Hands enemy, Level 0 threats are more about psychological pressure and sudden chase sequences. Still, death means dropping carried scrap, so bank your items at recyclers as soon as you unlock them in later levels. For a full threat breakdown, see our infected monkeys enemy guide.

Survival Tips for Level 0

Stick with at least one other player when possible. Afraid Monkeys is chaotic in large servers, but Level 0 becomes manageable when someone ahead draws aggro. Use voice chat or follow the crowd toward lit areas 鈥?darkness hides both scrap and enemies.

Do not treat Level 0 as optional content. The update logs on the Roblox game page list Level 0 alongside Level 1, Level 1.5, and Level 2 as current content, meaning developers expect you to complete this stage before engaging deeper progression systems like keycards and the vending machine shop.

For broader context, read our Afraid Monkeys keycard guide which covers the full unlock order across all levels. If you are still learning movement, the movement controls guide explains Gorilla Tag-style locomotion that Afraid Monkeys inherits from its inspiration games.

What Comes After Level 0

After clearing Level 0 you enter the facility proper starting with Afraid Monkeys Level 1, where Chainsaw Hands patrols and the Level 2 keycard becomes your first major progression item. Prepare by reading the lobby and shop guide so you know where to sell scrap once you reach the safe zone.

Level 0 is short, but mastering its pacing saves time on every future run. Speedrunners often treat it as a warm-up for muscle memory 鈥?practice wall runs and corner peeks here before attempting keycard routes under pressure.
