Fish Person Shoal is an area accessible from Candlelit Factory by floating over the clover and interacting with the octopus.

Features

Fish Person Shoal is a teal area filled with water, with large striped indigo cones as well as purple pillars and tiles dotting the area. The area is also inhabited by Fish People and small red octopuses, which make different noises upon interaction. An isolated purple structure can be found here, similar to the one in Flamelit Wasteland; using the Glasses effect reveals the ghost of the snowman from the back room of the Candlelit Factory walking around.

The Candlelit Factory entrance is a stationary octopus, which only leads to the clover connecting to Flamelit Wasteland. This connection only appears after the area containing the clover in the Candlelit Factory has been reached at least once. The clover does not need to be interacted with to unlock the connection, which is helpful if the player does not have the required effects to interact with it at that time. The octopus mainly serves as one option to visit Flamelit Wasteland, especially if you first choose to enter Fish Person Shoal from the Candlelit Factory.

East of the stationary octopus is a building with a sign next to its door and piles of fish around and inside it. A little octopus can sometimes be seen sleeping on top of the building. The doorway leads to a snowy room with a polar bear fishing in a small pool of water, a doorway in the back, and a potted plant to the right of it. Inside the doorway is a small indigo cone that brings the player to a corresponding room in Flamelit Wasteland. On the back wall of the room is a mural, which depicts a large cone, the snowman, the chasers from the Candlelit Factory, what seems to be the bunnies and orbs from Blue Sanctuary, the Floating Tiled Islands, and a couple of creatures. Text can also be seen. A cone will block the room until the player enters from the Black Bear's Pond in Flamelit Wasteland.

The polar bear may occasionally be seen sleeping (1/2 chance each time the world is entered, which will change after obtaining the Menu Theme to each time the room is entered). This will allow Urotsuki to interact with the fishing pole. Doing this causes an angry Fish Person to be fished up, slap Urotsuki, and subsequently leave the room. If you leave the world instead of interacting with them, they will need to be fished up again. Interacting with the angry Fish Person after this unlocks Menu Theme #56.

East of the Polar Bear's Pond is an island containing a pale, two-legged geyser emitting mist. Interacting with it makes a dice-rolling noise and transports Urotsuki to Glacial Geyser Grounds.

North of both the geyser and the Polar Bear's Pond is a tiled building with its entrance barricaded; next to it is a ladder leading down to Shoal Caverns.

Shoal Caverns

The Shoal Caverns are a small, somewhat dark maze that cannot be brightened with the Lantern effect. A lone fairy orb wanders in the northeastern section. Another ladder can be found at the end of this area; it leads down to an even deeper area.

The second, deeper area has many narrow paths surrounded by deep water, with small islands and purple constructions scattered around it. One small island has an apparition of one of the rabbits from Blue Sanctuary on it, which disappears after interacting with or moving into it.

A ladder can be found on another larger island to the northeast; it leads up to Hell Caverns if that world has been visited at least once.

If you have not visited the main area of Fish Person Shoal at least once, the ladder to Shoal Caverns will be placed in an inaccessible spot above the water.

The ghost snowman can be found again on the isolated small island just above the Shoal Caverns ladder, which can only be seen using the Glasses effect.

Southeast of the Shoal Caverns ladder is an island containing a tiny blue object that rings upon interaction, then glitches out and teleports Urotsuki to a weird room. It resembles the deeper shoal and the Somber Establishment, with purple pillars lining the path to a door from the latter. A large, strange blue thing resides at the center. Urotsuki will refuse to go any further, and moving south will play a sound before placing her back at the tiny object.

To the west of the Shoal Caverns ladder is a small island featuring a teleporter that brings the player to a platform with a ladder, which itself leads up to a short path ending at a gigantic blue cone. The cone's entrance will lead to Expanded Corridors once the barricades have been removed, which will need to be done every visit. Walking up to the barricades or entering the cone will grant a view of the entire structure.

To remove the cone's barricades, you must have reached the clover area in Candlelit Factory at least once and you must enter Flamelit Wasteland and travel through the Hell Caverns each time.

If you go from Hell Caverns to the deeper Shoal Caverns, then immediately enter and exit Hell Caverns, the barricades to the Gigantic Cone will re-appear, which forces you to visit to the main area of Flamelit Wasteland to remove them again. This also happens if you use the ladder to Shoal Caverns.

If you exit from Expanded Corridors, the barricades will not appear until you leave the deeper Shoal. If you want to go back, there are a few options. One is going through Hell Caverns, entering Flamelit Wasteland, and immediately going back through Hell Caverns. Another option is going through Shoal Caverns and using the room behind the Polar Bear to reach Hell Caverns.

Trivia

• If the in-game season is currently winter, it will be snowing instead of raining in the main area.
• The weird room in the deeper Shoal Caverns is similar to the rooms with other large, mysterious objects in Expanded Corridors and the Somber Establishment.
• A softlock was fixed in version 0.122g patch 2, which happened in the Polar Bear's Pond before obtaining the Menu Theme. Walking into the pond would cause the angry Fish Person jump out and walk into Urotsuki, who would be blocking the doorway. This was avoidable by entering this world from the Black Bear's Pond in Flamelit Wasteland.
• Sometimes the ladder to Shoal Caverns will be a shortened version of itself, but it will still work. It seems to happen when entering the deeper shoal through Flamelit Wasteland and then Hell Caverns.
