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 light switch event in the Candlelit Factory has been viewed once. The clover does not need to be interacted with to unlock the connection; however, this is only helpful if the player does not have the required effects to interact with it at that time, which is unlikely. 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. 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. The room behind the doorway contains a small indigo cone that brings the player to a corresponding room in Flamelit Wasteland if they've been there at least once. The polar bear may occasionally be seen sleeping (1/2 chance each time the world is entered). This will allow Urotsuki to interact with the fishing pole. Doing this causes an angry fish person to be fished up and subsequently leave the room. 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.

The Shoal Caverns ladder will not be present if the player travels to the deeper shoal from Flamelit Wasteland and Hell Caverns. The ladder will reappear if the player enters the deeper shoal, returns to Hell Caverns, and immediately goes back to the deeper shoal; however, doing this will barricade the entrance to Expanded Corridors until the player repeats the steps mentioned below.

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 enter Flamelit Wasteland and travel through the Hell Caverns. If you came from Expanded Corridors, you may immediately step back into the cone, but if you step past the barriers and want to go back, there are a few options. One is to go through Shoal Caverns and use the room behind the Polar Bear to reach Hell Caverns and then the gigantic cone. Another option is going through Hell Caverns, entering Flamelit Wasteland, and immediately going back through Hell Caverns to the gigantic cone.

Trivia

• 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.
• If the in-game season is currently winter, it will be snowing instead of raining in the main area.
• A common softlock can occur in the Polar Bear's Pond before obtaining the Menu Theme, where the angry fish will immediately be fished up as Urotsuki walks in the doorway, and they will walk into her, leaving no other option than exiting the game.
  • This can be completely avoided by entering this world from the Black Bear's Pond in Flamelit Wasteland.
