Ambush
Ambush is a threat that you can encounter in The Hotel and The Mines.
Method
If the lights inside of a room breaks, it means that Ambush is going to spawn next room. It is recommended to turn down your volume, as when ambush spawns, he screams a very loud scream. To survive ambush, you need to hide inside of a closet until ambush appears, then you need to surprise him by leaving the closet. Otherwise, he will attack you if you do not leave the closet to surprise him, or if you do not get in a closet, likely ending your run.
Strategy
Most professional players will try to outrun ambush, as ambush cannot run very far, unlike Rush. Ambush gives players five seconds until he damages them if they don't surprise him by leaving the closet. Most players use Hide as a method of finding if ambush is coming, so often times players enter closets as soon as opening the next door.
Information
Ambush deals 100 damage, and since your health will likely be at 100, he will likely instantly end your run. Ambush appears inside of The Hotel and The Mines main floors, as well as Hotel-, Super Hard Mode, Retro Mode, Cringle's Workshop, Rush Mode, Daily Runs, and Battle Mode.
