Pitch Black Plateau is an area accessible from the Shadow Lady in the Bone Zone.

Features

Pitch Black Plateau is a linear shadow version of Pale Plateau filled with harmless yellow-eyed chasers. Stones from the Stone Graveyard stick out from the land.

At the entrance, there are two Shadow Ladies, one enraged and one calm. Interacting with either turns Urotsuki into a version of her. Continuing north, a woman in a swimsuit can be found that teleports Urotsuki to the next area of the plateau. Continuing through the plateau, the path runs past a yellow-eyed Shadow Lady that temporarily brings Urotsuki to an empty version of the Stone Graveyard in Dream Route. After spending a few seconds here the area will lose its color, a ringing sound will be heard, and Urostuki will be transported back to the plateau, next to the yellow-eyed Shadow Lady.

Continuing along the path and interacting with the other women in swimsuits will eventually lead to an opening in a wall. A Shadow Lady can be found at the top of the following room; interacting with her once will make the exit teleport Urotsuki to the next part of the area. Interacting with her again will show a full view of her evil glare.

Exiting the cave will bring Urotsuki to the second half of the area. As she enters it, she will find an enraged Shadow Lady that will flee south through the hallway, regardless of whether the Crossing effect is active or not. Following the Shadow Lady south, Urotsuki will be teleported to a different version of the dark plateau, which has active red-eyed chasers. Touching a chaser will send Urotsuki to the Crow's Nest. Here, she can find a yellow-eyed Shadow Bird to the north that will return her to the beginning of that world.

As one continues avoiding the chasers and following the path, one will begin to see tendrils and bloodied spikes. Continuing along the path and interacting with the women in swimsuits will eventually lead Urotsuki to a gray-haired, red-eyed woman on a platform full of crimson spikes. Interacting with her will warp Urotsuki into The Emptiness.

The Emptiness

The Emptiness is an empty void. A mask can be obtained by interacting with the dark blue Urotsuki clone in the middle of the void. A short-haired NPC can also be found here. If one has not yet unlocked Menu Themes #62 and #63, interacting with either of these NPCs will also grant both menu themes. Further northeast, a one-way exit the Hopeful Road can be found.

Hopeful Road

This green road has a Light Lady near the end of it. Interacting with her will grant 8000夢 before she disappears. This can be obtained again after returning. Continuing east will return Urotsuki to the Light Lady's Tent in Abandoned Campsite.

Trivia

• Both this area and Pale Plateau seem to share a resemblance to the Cave of the Past in EarthBound.
• In version 0.123b patch 3, the chasers had their destinations changed or have become harmless, like the Shadow Lady that escapes completely from the area in the now-shortened passage. Tendrils, crimson spikes, and the stones were added. Menu Themes #62 and #63 are now accessible in the isolated section of Pale Plateau from Serpent Ruins B: Cave, but they can still be accessed here by interacting with the NPC or dark blue Urotsuki clone in The Emptiness. The NPC was previously unrelated to the Menu Themes. In the Hopeful Road, the Light Lady previously did not disappear and granted infinite money, which was unintended.
