'''Underworld''' (introduced in [[Eyeaduct]] of the [[Very Scary Halloween Special]] update) refers to the several alternate play spaces located beneath certain [[Halloween map|Haunted Halloween maps]].
+
'''Underworld''' is the general name used to refer to alternate play areas present in certain Halloween maps. They were introduced in the [[Very Scary Halloween Special]] update with the map [[Eyeaduct]].
  
−
Underworlds differ from each other depending on their map, but common characteristics among them are the presence of [[Magic spells]], a [[Environmental death#Health drain|harmful atmosphere]], and [[Environmental death#Deadly waters|deadly waters]] or [[Environmental death#Infernal Lava|Infernal Lava]].
+
Although Underworlds differ from each other depending on their map, they feature many common characteristics.
 +
* They are scary, supernatural locations set in different realities, often referred to as [[w:Damnation|damnation]] places.
 +
* Access to them is open for short periods, either through portals that only appear every so often or at the very end of the round.
 +
* Play time on them is limited, either by a [[Environmental_death#Health_drain|health drain]] that increases over time or by the place exploding after a while.
 +
* Lethal hazards that instantaneously kill players surround the place, severely limiting the playable area.
 +
** Together with the aforementioned limited play time, it makes them much more linear than the regular part of their maps.
 +
* Rewards such as Rare [[Magic spells|Magic Spells]] and buffs when exiting (like [[ubercharge|invincibility]] and guaranteed [[crits]]) encourage players to use these areas to try and gain a tactical advantage in the main map.
 +
* [[Engineer]]s can't place [[building]]s in them.
 +
* Players are encouraged to try these locations out through [[Halloween achievements|Achievements]], Achievement items, and [[Halloween Contract]] Objectives.
  
−
* '''Underworld''' can also specifically refer to those haunted islands surrounded by lethal [[Environmental death#Underworld waters|stygian waters]], while '''Hell''' (introduced in [[Helltower]]) refers specifically to those underground settings located in flows of infernal [[Environmental death#Lava|Infernal Lava]].  
+

== Underworlds and Underworld locations ==
 +
The following table lists all Underworlds and special Underworld locations in alphabetical order of the map's name, together with entry methods and buffs, what players will find in them (hazards and rewards), and exit methods and buffs.
  
−
* '''Purgatory''' is the Underworld destination and associated mechanics resulting from players jumping into the purple [[MONOCULUS]] portals. Purgatory was introduced in [[Eyeaduct]]; and other versions of Purgatory are found on most maps that spawn the MONOCULUS Boss.

* '''Loot Island''' is the location in [[Eyeaduct]] that players can enter when they defeat MONOCULUS, but that name is also broadly applied to any Underworld location having Bombinomicon waiting at the exit.

* Underworld locations generally have mechanisms for limiting the time players can remain there, either by automatically killing off or pushing out all players that stay there too long or by ending the round:

== Underworlds ==
 
−
=== [[Brimstone (map)|Brimstone]] ===
 
−
Brimstone has two underworlds: '''Purgatory''' and '''Hell'''.
 
−
 
−
'''Purgatory''' consists of two small islands surrounded by [[lava]] with a [[Environmental_death#Health_drain|hamrful atmosphere]]. Players can access it through the portals opened by [[MONOCULUS]] when it teleports in order to obtain Rare Spells and several buffs that last a few seconds if they manage to go through the white portal.
 
−
 
−
'''Hell''' is very similar to Purgatory: it consists of two islands, though one is small and the other is big and has an altar, has lava and a harmful atmosphere, and provides players with Rare Spells and several buffs when exiting. It can be accessed by jumping into the portal opened by defeating MONOCULUS, jumping into the portal that opens over the pit if [[BLU]] managed to push the cart into the pit, or by going through the white portals in the coffins.
 
−
 
−
When entering these locations, players will receive an [[overheal]] and a brief moment of [[invincibility]] to help them survive their malicious atmospheres. When leaving through a portal, they will be sent back to the overworld with a series of buffs.

=== [[Carnival of Carnage]] ===
 
−
Once one of the teams has successfully delivered the tickets to the Strongmann in Carnival of Carnage, Merasmus will take all players to another realm, where they will be forced to play one of three deadly bumper cars mini-games. The winning team will receive an advantage over the other as a reward.
 
−
 
−
'''Falling Platforms''': players must drive on wooden platforms and avoid falling off. Merasmus will periodically destroy all but one of the platforms and then bring all but one of them back. Once only one platform remains, he will bring them all back and restart the process.
 
−
 
−
'''Bumper Car Soccer''': players are forced to play soccer using a giant beach ball. There are three ways to win:
 
−
* Score three goals
 
−
* Knock all enemy players off the field
 
−
* Score a goal during sudden death
 
−
 
−
'''Duck Collectors''': players are taken to a figure-8 racetrack-like arena and have to collect ducks. Golden bonus ducks dropped by enemies rammed into are worth 2 points each.
 
−
 
−
Spells can be collected and cast in Bumper Car Soccer and Duck Collectors, most of them being unique to this realm.
 
−
 
−
Falling off any of the arenas will turn the player into a team-colored ghost that can still be controlled by the player. Touching an ally that's still alive will resurrect the player; touching an enemy will cause the player to bounce up.

=== [[Cauldron]] ===
 
−
Cauldron's Underworld consists of a series of islands rising from a [[Environmental_death#Pitfalls|toxic swamp]] engulfed in [[Environmental death#Health drain|poisonous air]] in front of a clock tower. Two floating cauldrons serve as moving platforms.

It can be accessed when the cauldron on the control point erupts and opens up portals as a result, and can be exited by jumping into the glowing cauldron. When entering, players are fully healed; when leaving, they receive a series of buffs.

=== [[Cursed Cove]] ===
 
−
'''Davy Jone's Locker''' resembles the bottom of the sea, with algae and corals dotting the landscape. Players must go there in order to deliver the souls they've collected. It can be accessed by touching the Flying Dutchman while it is sailing through the town.
 
−
 
−
Although the Locker does not feature a harmful atmosphere, a player that stays there too long will start to quickly [[Environmental death#Drowning|drown]]. To leave, they have  to either go through the white portal on the sunken ship, or be kicked out by Davy Jones.

=== [[Eyeaduct]] ===
 
−
'''Purgatory''' is a gloomy swamp of [[Environmental_death#Deadly_waters|deadly waters]] and [[Environmental_death#Health_drain|poisonous air]].
 
−
 
−
If a player takes one of MONOCULUS' portals, their health will be fully restored and they'll be transported to a small set of small islands. Leaving through the white portal will take them back to the control point with a series of temporary buffs. All players will be transported to this location when [[Humiliation]] starts.
 
−
 
−
'''Loot Island''' is another location in Purgatory. Players can access it by touching the Bombinomicon that appears once MONOCULUS has been defeated; they must then make their way to the giant skull and get the Bombinomicon in there. Once they do, they'll be taken back to the control point with a series of buffs. While the air in Loot Island is harmless, the cease-fire will have ended, and players may attack their enemies on this location. Also, staying here for too long will cause the island to explode, killing anyone on it.
 
−
 
−
Players reaching the Bombinomicon on Loot Island for the first time will receive it as a [[Bombinomicon|cosmetic item]] and unlock the [[Halloween_achievements#2011:_Eye-chievements|Halloween achievement ''Dive Into A Good Book'']].

=== [[Ghost Fort]] ===
 
−
While Ghost Fort's '''Skull Island''' is not an Underworld, it shares a few similarities with them:
 
−
* It is reached by touching the Bombinomicon left by Merasmus when defeated.
 
−
* Falling into the water is an instantaneous kill.
 
−
* Leaving through the exit will return the players to the control point with invulnerability and crits.
 
−
 
−
Players who touch the Bombinomicon after Merasmus is defeated are taken to the island's pier and have to get the [[Skull Island Topper]] inside the giant skull. If players take too long to get the Skull Island Topper, Skull Island will explode and kill all those on it.
 
−
 
−
Players reaching the Skull Island Topper for the first time will receive it as a cosmetic item and unlock the [[Halloween_achievements#2012:_Necromannchievements|Halloween achievement ''A Lovely Vacation Spot'']].

=== [[Gravestone]] ===
 
−
Gravestone's Underworld is a gloomy swamp with [[Environmental_death#Deadly_waters|deadly waters]] and [[Environmental_death#Health_drain|poisonous air]]. It can be accessed through white portals in coffins and doorways opened every [[Witching Hour]] to collect Rare Spells and receive buffs when leaving through the exit.
 
−
 
−
Once the [[Payload]] stage of the map ends, all players are taken to a Mansion in the underworld and forced to participate in a bumper cars race, the winning team receiving a head start. Shortly after the race start, Merasmus and [[skeletons]] will appear and attack players. The first team to reach the top of the Mansion wins.
 
−
 
−
=== [[Hellstone]] ===
 
−
Like Brimstone, Hellstone has both '''Purgatory''' and '''Hell'''.
 
−
 
−
'''Purgatory''' is an island surrounded by [[lava]] ending in a white portal with a single Rare Spell in front of it. Players entering Purgatory are restored to full health, but quickly suffer from the [[Environmental death#Health drain|evil atmosphere]]'s effect. Going through the portal takes the player back to the overworld with a series of buffs.
 
−
 
−
'''Hell''' is much larger than Purgatory, and has more Rare Spells. It can be accessed by touching the Bombinomicon that appears after defeating MONOCULUS and can be exited by reaching him at the other end. It is also filled with lava with an evil atmosphere, and leaving through the portal grants the same bonuses.

=== [[Helltower]] ===
 
−
'''Hell''' is a set of islands surrounded by [[lava]] where all players are taken to once the [[Payload Race]] stage of the map is over.
 
−
 
−
The teams will spawn [[Thriller|dancing]] next to an island featuring a copy of the tower seen in the overworld. Both Common and Rare Spells can be found throughout the area, with the Rare Spells being on harder-to-reach places.
 
−
 
−
'''Skull Island''' lies in front of the tower across a wooden bridge over the lava. The first team to get the [[Fancy Spellbook]] inside the giant skull wins the round.
 
−
 
−
Players who die in Hell will not respawn; instead, they will turn into team-colored ghosts that can float around and say "boo".
 
−
 
−
Players reaching Skull Island for the first time will receive the [[Unfilled Fancy Spellbook]] and unlock the [[Halloween_achievements#2013:_Bereavements|Halloween achievement ''Hat Out of Hell'']].

=== [[Moonshine Event]] ===
 
−
Moonshine Event's Underworld is a gloomy swamp with [[Environmental_death#Deadly_waters|deadly waters]] and [[Environmental_death#Health_drain|poisonous air]]. All players are transported there if the Wheel of Fate lands on Dance-Off. They will receive an overheal when being taken there to compensate for the damage received from the place's [[Environmental_death#Health_drain|harmful air]] while unable to move due to the Dance spell.
 
−
 
−
Two Rare Spells can be found in the Underworld, and exiting through the portal inside the giant skull takes players back to the control point with invulnerability and crits.

=== [[Pit of Death]] ===
 
−
Every Witching Hour, a portal will appear over the bottomless pit in the center of the map. The portal will take players to the gates of a mansion in the Underworld. If they have collected any souls, they can deliver them by heading to the mansion's yard.
 
−
 
−
The Underworld can be exited by going through the mansion's white portal, which will take the player back to the overworld with a series of buffs.

=== [[Slasher]] ===
 
−
Slasher's Underworld is a series of islands floating above a [[Environmental_death#Pitfalls|foggy abyss]] with an [[Environmental_death#Health_drain|evil atmosphere]]. It contains many Health Kits due to its large size, and houses many Spells spread across it.
 
−
 
−
While it can be accessed at any time through a portal near the map's control point, it can also be done by entering one of MONOCULUS' portals, which will spawn the player closer to the exit. Returning to the overworld through the exit will grant the player with guaranteed crits for a few seconds.

Underworld is the general name used to refer to alternate play areas present in certain Halloween maps. They were introduced in the Very Scary Halloween Special update with the map Eyeaduct.

Although Underworlds differ from each other depending on their map, they feature many common characteristics.

  • They are scary, supernatural locations set in different realities, often referred to as damnation places.
  • Access to them is open for short periods, either through portals that only appear every so often or at the very end of the round.
  • Play time on them is limited, either by a health drain that increases over time or by the place exploding after a while.
  • Lethal hazards that instantaneously kill players surround the place, severely limiting the playable area.
    • Together with the aforementioned limited play time, it makes them much more linear than the regular part of their maps.
  • Rewards such as Rare Magic Spells and buffs when exiting (like invincibility and guaranteed crits) encourage players to use these areas to try and gain a tactical advantage in the main map.
  • Engineers can't place buildings in them.
  • Players are encouraged to try these locations out through Achievements, Achievement items, and Halloween Contract Objectives.
