The Educator
The Educator is a hostile monster in Pressure, introduced during the 2024 April Fools event.
Appearance
The Educator is identical to Baldi from Baldi’s Basics, but with a frown, a blue shirt, and green pants.
Mechanics
The Educator, once spawned through pressing the Evil Button, will begin advancing towards the player through set increments indicated by ruler slaps. If The Educator catches the player, they will be instantly killed. The Educator will speed up as the player advances, moving larger distances in shorter increments.
The Educator can be stunned for 10 seconds with the Flash Beacon, but will move faster for three ruler slaps afterwards.
Encounter
In place of both grand encounter chances, The Educator's schoolhouse is guaranteed to spawn if he is active. In this schoolhouse, the player must find and solve math problems in notebooks in order to collect them. Once they have collected all notebooks in the schoolhouse the exit door will open.
During the first encounter there are only 7 notebooks to collect, all containing addition and subtraction problems. During the second encounter there are 10 notebooks to collect, with the questions being more difficult. The Angler will also spawn during the encounter, rushing through the schoolhouse.
Notes
- The Educator is client-sided, meaning that each player in a lobby has their own unique Educator that only they can see and interact with.
- If a player dies to The Educator, Sebastian Solace will refuse to show them his document. Just like Mr. Lopee, The Educator stands beside Sebastian during the cutscene.
- The Educator is able to phase through walls.
Strategy
The Educator can be easily outpaced if you have enough room to make distance, as he only moves a set distance. As The Educator is client-sided, you can only interact with and see your own instance of The Educator. Stalling The Educator is ineffective, as he can catch up very quickly.
Luring The Educator to one corner of the schoolhouse and moving to collect a notebook on the other side is generally considered the safest strategy, although it does take time. Avoid using the flash beacon on him unless absolutely needed, as he will speed up after recovering. Make sure to keep moving at all times to avoid him catching up.
