Latest revision as of 10:05, 11 June 2024

Madotsuki entering a part of the Dense Woods B with several Isee watching closely.

The Dense Woods (also known as the Sea of Trees) is a set of deeper dream worlds in Yume Nikki.

Features

The Dense Woods is a large forested area with a straight road running through it and clearings in the trees in which several warps can be found. The area is also notable for containing the Jellyfish NPCs, who appear during the game's ending.

Worlds

Dense Woods A

Madotsuki near the vending machine and Puddle World stairway in Dense Woods A.

Dense Woods A is a rainy area largely made up of conical trees, much like the ones found in Forest World. A straight road also runs directly through this area. It is accessed by entering a pink stairway found in Puddle World.

Upon entering this world, the player will find one of three vending machines found throughout the dream world. The forest has a long road where a single Jellyfish stands. The road will loop if Madotsuki travels west, though she can enter the Infinite Road by heading east, a long path that contains the Floyag and endlessly loops upon walking to the right. If the player goes west instead of east on the Infinite Road, they will end up in Dense Woods B.

Dense Woods B

Dense Woods B contains both a continuation of the road found in Dense Woods A as well as several forest clearings that will lead to other worlds. Unlike Dense Woods A, it does not naturally rain in this area and the trees are rounded instead of conical.

The world is split into three isolated sections:

The Frog Path (covered in the Dense Woods B page)
The Road
The Dark Woods

The Frog Path is listed as the main section of Dense Woods B due to being the fastest one to reach. It is accessed through a manhole found in the Mall. The manhole will lead to a short trail containing a Frog (who can be interacted with to gain the Frog effect) and a Jellyfish who can be interacted with for a one-way connection to the Teleport Maze.

When backtracking in the Infinite Road of Dense Woods A, the player will enter the Road of Dense Woods B. A corpse known as Shitai-san can be found at the end, where the road is blocked by traffic cones. This will give the Stoplight effect upon interaction. Near the connection to the Infinite Road is also a short clearing path that leads to a manhole, which will open to reveal a red tentacle if the Infinite Road has been looped through at least three times. This tentacle can be interacted with to reach Manhole-sama, and from there the White Desert Mountain Ring.

The last section, Dark Woods, is accessed by a portal found in Hell. The portal starts in a small section of the main Dense Woods B area, then leads to a dimmed, winding path filled with Isee. This path can be more easily navigated with the Lamp effect. It leads to the Traincar.

-The '''Dense Woods''' (道路, Road) is a moderately large [[List of Locations#Deeper_Locations|deeper location]] with many connections to other areas, although which exits are available depends on where you enter from, as the thickly growing trees and foliage restrict access to most locations of the map.
-It is a vast forest with many narrow passageways through the trees. Cutting through the woods is a mysterious road, and deep within the dense woods is a spooky lake that can only be reached by [[Traincar|train]]. The darkness of the area suggests it is explored during the night time, and the background music helps add to its atmospheric nature.

+'''Dense Woods A''' is a rainy area largely made up of conical trees, much like the ones found in [[Yume Nikki:Forest World|Forest World]]. A straight road also runs directly through this area. It is accessed by entering a pink stairway found in [[Yume Nikki:Puddle World|Puddle World]].
-==Points of interest==
+Upon entering this world, the player will find one of three [[Yume Nikki:Vending Machine|vending machines]] found throughout the dream world. The forest has a long road where a single Jellyfish stands. The road will loop if Madotsuki travels west, though she can enter the Infinite Road by heading east, a long path that contains the [[Yume Nikki:Floyag|Floyag]] and endlessly loops upon walking to the right. If the player goes west instead of east on the Infinite Road, they will end up in Dense Woods B.
-===Dense Woods A===
-There is a [[Vending Machine|vending machine]] here, which can be immediately seen when entering from [[Puddle World]]. Throughout the entire area, rain falls as the player traverses it, and persists even when you leave, just like the rain summoned by the [[Effects#Umbrella （かさ）|Umbrella]] effect. To stop it, activate and deactivate the Umbrella effect. To get to the Infinite Road, travel along the road until you see a [[Jellyfish]]. After interacting with it, travel to the East. Once you leave this way, you will not be able to backtrack to Dense Woods A.
+===[[Yume Nikki:Dense Woods B|Dense Woods B]]===
+'''Dense Woods B''' contains both a continuation of the road found in Dense Woods A as well as several forest clearings that will lead to other worlds. Unlike Dense Woods A, it does not naturally rain in this area and the trees are rounded instead of conical.
-===The Infinite Road===
+The world is split into three isolated sections:
-The road loops endlessly to the east as the player travels past a group of [[Floyag]]. To escape, travel slightly east past the point where you started (until it is out of view) then travel west. You will know if you were successful by the appearance of a blue, uterus-like creature standing alone. Traveling past the group of Floyag a full five times opens the manhole to the White Desert in Dense Woods B, and traveling past them ten full times changes the appearance of the [[Roary Straw|character that appears under the manhole]].

-===Dense Woods B===
+The Frog Path is listed as the main section of Dense Woods B due to being the fastest one to reach. It is accessed through a manhole found in the [[Yume Nikki:Mall|Mall]]. The manhole will lead to a short trail containing a [[Yume Nikki:Frog|Frog]] (who can be interacted with to gain the [[Yume Nikki:Effects#Frog|Frog]] effect) and a Jellyfish who can be interacted with for a one-way connection to the [[Yume Nikki:Teleport Maze|Teleport Maze]].
-[[File:Dense_Woods.png|thumb|250px|Madotsuki in the Dense Woods B (Frog Path)]]
-====The Road (樹海, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aokigahara Jukai])====
-The road to the west is blocked off by traffic cones. Interacting with the nearby [[Shitai-san|dead body]] gives the player the Spotlight effect. Off the road is a passage to a manhole (that terminally leads to the place where the [[The Thing with the Quivering Jaw|Thing With the Quivering Jaw]] is after passing through the [[White Desert#White_Desert_B|White Desert B]]). Whether this is open or not depends on how long you traveled on the Infinite Road.
-====The Frog Path====
+When backtracking in the Infinite Road of Dense Woods A, the player will enter the Road of Dense Woods B. A corpse known as [[Yume Nikki:Shitai-san|Shitai-san]] can be found at the end, where the road is blocked by traffic cones. This will give the [[Yume Nikki:Effects#Stoplight|Stoplight]] effect upon interaction. Near the connection to the Infinite Road is also a short clearing path that leads to a manhole, which will open to reveal a red tentacle if the Infinite Road has been looped through at least three times. This tentacle can be interacted with to reach [[Yume Nikki:Manhole-sama|Manhole-sama]], and from there the [[Yume Nikki:White Desert Mountain Ring|White Desert Mountain Ring]].
-The [[Frog]] here is one of the two frogs that can give you the Frog effect (with the other one being found in [[Forest World]], hence the name. Interacting with the [[Jellyfish]] causes the player to be transported to the [[Teleport Maze]] without a way to return.
-===The Dark Woods===
+The last section, Dark Woods, is accessed by a portal found in [[Yume Nikki:Hell|Hell]]. The portal starts in a small section of the main Dense Woods B area, then leads to a dimmed, winding path filled with [[Yume Nikki:Isee|Isee]]. This path can be more easily navigated with the [[Yume Nikki:Effects#Lamp|Lamp]] effect. It leads to the [[Yume Nikki:Traincar|Traincar]].
-Illuminating this section with the [[Effects#Lamp （でんとう）|Lamp]] effect makes it easier to navigate, as it is one of the dark places in the game. The [[Isee]] in the trees follow Madotsuki as she walks along, which could be based on the common cartoon representation of scary woods with eyes watching from the darkness. Go through the forest you will arrive at the [[Traincar]]. In versions [[Old_Versions#Version_0.06|''0.06'']] and [[Old_Versions#Version_0.07|''0.07'']] of the game, the eyes were monocular, and the area was not darkened.

-==Trivia==
+===Dense Woods B: The Dark Woods===
-*In the Dense Woods A, there is an offscreen Jellyfish found south of the map. The only way you can access it is by using a hack or a glitch. When interacted with, it crashes the game, due to the event calling for a graphic that doesn't exist.
+[[Yume Nikki:Nexus|Nexus]] → [[Yume Nikki:Forest World|Forest World]] → [[Yume Nikki:Face Carpet Plaza|Face Carpet Plaza]] → [[Yume Nikki:Hell|Hell]] → Dense Woods B
-**While this Jellyfish is also offscreen in version ''0.06'', it does function properly in that version. The reason why it crashes in ''0.10'' is because the image called in the Jellyfish's event actions was not updated to reflect the file name changes present in ''0.10''. Specifically, it looks for a file named '''イベント5''', but this file was renamed to '''イベント_005''' in ''0.10''.
-*An unused event in [[Old_Versions#Version_0.09|version ''0.09'']] known as [[Events#NASU Link|NASU Link]] had the character from ''[[NASU]]'' appear in this location. Interacting with it would lead the player to the unused [[FC World C]].
