 ===== State 6 =====
+Unlike the other save states, **State 6** is just a demo. The player is shown walking through forest and sometimes changing directions. When they come across an NPC, they kill them in one hit.
+It's worth noting that at times, the player encounters one of the hooded NPCs seen in other states, which they ignore.
 ===== State 7 =====
+**State 7** has the player start in a stone corridor, with a hooded figure and a white fog on the right and rocks on the left.
+It is possible to squeeze past the rocks on the left through the left side, leading to what looks like an error sprite from [[basilisk-2000|Basilisk 2000]] with the following lines:
+  * //Crossing this space won't get you anywhere.//
+  * //The vein that connects the two games.//
+  * //The devil is in the details.//
+  * //Oh but the devil is in everything.//
+The hooded NPC on the right has the following lines:
+  * //Could ya believe it!//
+  * //It seems nowhere is safe, not even a castle.//
+  * //To think that the basilisk made it all the way here.//
+Beyond the hooded figure is a white fog, which when entered, moves the player in an empty space, with a different encounter depending on whether or not the player has obtained the sword from **State 3**. If the player has obtained it, they will encounter a knight, leading to the ending screen. If they haven't, they will encounter the shaking eye of the Basilisk, leading to a game over.
