Froger

From Pressure Wiki


Z-283-FROGER, codenamed "Froger" is a monster in Pressure, acting as a rare threat found in the Hadal Blacksite and a variant of The Angler.

Appearance

Froger resembles a heavily malformed frog-like face, with numerous sharp, thin teeth and protruding frog eyes. Its features are distorted and heavily defined, with its open mouth taking up the majority of its face. Froger is constantly obscured by a thick dark smoke, obscuring everything aside from its face. Froger's face will always be facing the player, regardless of where they view it.

Mechanics

Froger has a chance to spawn if the player’s current or previous room has a valid hiding spot. When Froger spawns, nearby electronics will flicker briefly and Froger will begin advancing. When Froger is close enough to the player it will start screeching loudly, signaling for players to hide.

When Froger rushes through the room, all players in its line of sight will be instantly killed. Players who hide in time or escape Angler’s line of sight before it passes through will be safe. After rushing through once, Froger will rush through again after a long delay.

Notes

  • After a player spends a set amount of time in a room, there is a chance for Froger or any other node monster to spawn. This is called a timer spawn.
  • Before a Froger attack, the navi-path of the next door will flicker briefly. Knowing this makes it easier to tell when Froger is coming in dark rooms or while passing through a room with Eyefestation.
  • Froger has different audio cues compared to Angler, making it easier to know if Froger is attacking.

The Ridge

For more information, see: The Ridge

Froger will spawn more frequently in the ridge, and will not be accompanied by any visual cues. Players are forced to rely on sound alone to know when Froger is coming. Froger's sound cues happen earlier while attacking in the ridge, giving players more time to react.

Strategy

The best way to avoid Froger is to hide before it rushes through the room. Make sure to not hide too early, or you will be forced out of your hiding spot due to cleithrophobia. Try and stay close to a locker for a while until you are certain that Froger will not come back.

Froger uses a raycasting hitbox to create its line of sight, so hiding in places that cover your character completely (including office cubicles, separate hallways, and vents) will work in evading Froger.
