This could be considered a spoiler for folks who like to explore everything themselves…

After trying for about an hour to get up into this little cave area I noticed near the Depths of the Maw WP, I finally made it and took a bunch of screenshots and was glowing from my victory; SURELY I was the first person ever to figure this out, right? No, of course not. I searched, I saw a post on reddit about it and I’m sure there are more elsewhere. Maybe there is one in these forums but I didn’t see it. So anyway…

For those that like to explore every nook and cranny of a map, there is this to check out. I gather that it was some map element that they were going to include but then didn’t. The reddit post seemed to indicate they have no plans to do anything with this area now.

I was a little disappointed that this wasn’t a hidden jp; no chest or anything. And I can’t believe that when I made it to the floating rock with the updrafts no balloons and confetti were dropped down from the heavens to mark my achievement. Alas. Maybe they’ll add that next time.

You can also get below the world from here and die. I did that a few times, just for funsies.

This is the stuff I love in the game. Even if there is no intended use yet or ever, having areas like this to find are a real treat.

First post on finding the area.

Second Reddit post with pictures.

Does anyone know of any threads dedicated to areas like this? I tried to find one before and failed. But I like to explore the world and find random little hidden caves and whatnot.

There are a bunch of hidden caves on the map, but I haven’t seen anything up until this point worth mentioning; Just a bunch of dead ends.
