Wooded Lakeside B is an area accessible from Oblique Hell.

Annotated map of Wooded Lakeside B.

Features

When entered from Oblique Hell's main area, Urotsuki will end up in the Gnarled Tree Plaza section of Wooded Lakeside B, an area with many twisted trees surrounded by blue and pink tiles, overall resembling the Face Carpet Plaza from Yume Nikki. If Home Within Nowhere was visited en route to the Wooded Lakeside, Shimako appears in this area, chasing the player with a wide-brimmed hat on her head. If she catches the player, she will put the hat on the player's head and begin to run away. The player is able to put the hat back on Shimako's head, though. If an effect is equipped while the hat is on the player's head, she will simply disappear. Also inside of the Gnarled Tree Plaza are two sets of red gates present on the top and bottom of the area, which can be exited to be taken to the Wooded Lakeside B proper.

The area largely resembles its A counterpart, albeit it has a darker hue and it also rains. Going south from the Gnarled Tree Plaza gate will eventually lead to a bridge atop a dam with several cones and streetlights. At the very east side of the bridge is a set of stairs that leads down to a metallic platform and some traffic barriers blocking the path to the right that can be bypassed with the Fairy, Dice, or Grave effect. Past the barrier is the rightmost section of the area which contains a single frog hopping around, a stone structure leading to the Dam Elevator and an open manhole leading to a two-way connection to the First-Person Maze area of Oblique Hell.

By shortly climbing down a ladder on the bridge to get to the lowest platform, the player can head either left or right, leading to the Boiler Room or the Dam Elevator.

Dam Boiler Room

Heading left on the lowest platform of the dam's walkways will lead to another interior section with an elevator to a room with a vending machine, either a hat stand or a traffic cone (the former if Home Within Nowhere was visited prior to arrival, the latter if not), and a door leading to a dark boiler room. The hat stand can be used to store a single hat, which will subsequently be found again in Home Within Nowhere in future visits. Upon equipping the Lantern effect to light up the boiler room, a large red creature will be revealed, drinking the boiler room's water with several cords attached to its body. Using the Chainsaw effect on one of the cords will cause the area to go dark again, and once lit up again, will reveal a trail of blood across the boiler room water. With or without using the Chainsaw, the area the trail can appear on can be walked on, though it will require pressing the Interaction/Examine key first if the creature was spared.

Continuing east on the aforementioned trail will lead to a dark void with lily pads resembling the ones in Lamplit Stones, Sierpinski triangle structures, and, if a route involving a visit to Home Within Nowhere was taken beforehand, Shimako, standing with her back to Urotsuki. If the player uses the Telephone effect while around Shimako, she will look around nervously. Walking east in front of one of the pyramid structures that would be just before Shimako's location, Urotsuki will suddenly fall, triggering the Shimako's Deluge event, where she will end up in an endlessly looping reservoir of water. The only way to escape this area is by either drowning or pinching Urotsuki awake. Viewing this event will grant Wallpaper #585 if the player has arrived here from the Home Within Nowhere route. Depending on the route taken to reach the area, the event will either end the dream session and send Urotsuki back to her bedroom, or will take her to Home Within Nowhere, directly in front of the bathroom door. Taking the door in the east hallway in Home Within Nowhere leads back to a transitional hallway with a door to Bubble World.

Dam Elevator

Heading right on the lowest platform of the dam's walkways reveals a door leading to an interior area. Inside is a dim section with an elevator all the way to the left, some traffic cones and barriers/tape, and a staircase going up and to the right that leads outside to rightmost section of Wooded Lakeside B (past the barrier at the end of the top of the dam), featuring a stone structure and the connection to the First-Person Maze of Oblique Hell.

The elevator's accessibility depends on the current value of Variable #44. It will only open if it is raining or snowing in the Gray Road (if the current Variable #44 ends in 6, 7, 8 or 9). If the Mirror Room is also accessible during the current dream session (if the current Variable #44 ends in either 3 or 8; in this case it must be 8 otherwise the elevator won't open), taking this elevator will lead to a hallway with a metal door in addition to the same staircase that leads outside to the stone structure. If the Mirror Room is currently not accessible, then only the staircase leading outside will be present. The metal door will usually be locked, but if The Nexus's background is blue (if the current Variable #44 is greater than 127) then it will be unlocked. Essentially, if the Nexus is blue and you have access to the Mirror room, you effectively have a 50% chance to be able to open the metal door. It is not necessary to reach this world via Home Within Nowhere to access the elevator or metal door.

Entering through the metal door leads outside to a lower part of the dam which is otherwise inaccessible and out-of-view of the normal playing area. The walls of the dam are plastered with no-entry signs and cones obstruct the path. Navigating all the way to the left here leads to a drop-off point. Interacting with the edge causes Urotsuki to walk off of it, falling down and plunging in to the water section of the Shimako's Deluge event, but instead of taking the player to Home Within Nowhere after drowning, it causes the player to wake up.

Trivia

• The hat given to you by Shimako in Gnarled Tree Plaza resembles and most likely belongs to that of a Shadow Lady, as the wearer appears to exhibit Chaser-like behavior; Shimako voluntarily approaches the player just as a hostile Shadow Lady would (said hat also appears in an area based on Face Carpet Plaza from Yume Nikki, where a hostile Toriningen is present), but flees once Urotsuki has it equipped.
