Bog Easy

## [Template]

**Bog Easy** is a Location and hub in Epic Mickey.

Bog Easy is the fourth and final hub visited in the game, after the player returns from Ventureland. It is based on the New Orleans Square areas in the Disney theme parks.

The name “Bog Easy” is a play on “Big Easy”, a common nickname for the city of New Orleans.

## Location and Structure

Bog Easy is located in the northwest of the Wasteland, to the northwest of Mean Street. To the north of Bog Easy is the Lonesome Manor, and to the east is Dark Beauty Castle.

Bog Easy is located deep within a large swamp, filled with dangerous Thinner. It is nighttime, likely a result of the time switching when Mickey is there.

Bog Easy can be separated into two major parts: the Bog Easy Swamp and the Bog Easy Square. The swamp is the larger portion of the region, and composes most of the south, west, and east of the map, while the Square takes up most of the north.

The swamp contains many small islands, as well as bridges to connect them and the Square. The larger, eastern part of the swamp loops around like a “U” shape and contains the entrance projector to the map. Across from the entry, a large Sunken Steamer can be seen protruding from the Thinner. To the west of the map is another swamp area, with fewer islands and a larger, open lake area, as well as Louis’ Shack. In various parts of the swamp, Bat Eyes can be seen.

The Bog Easy Square is shaped like an upside down “Y”, with a single street that leads back into the square and towards the exit projector. The street is surrounded on both sides by large buildings. On the right is the Balcony Building, while on the left is the Bog Easy Shop. The pod containing Animatronic Donald can be seen near the set of stairs leading to the shop. The square also has various lamps that can be painted in as part of a quest.

## Prior History

Bog Easy was a home meant for Toons, similar to Ventureland, OsTown, and Mean Street. However, not long before the events of the game, the Pipe Organ at Lonesome Manor went awry, causing the Ghosts living there to flee to Bog Easy. As a result, the Toon residents have become terrified and are at odds with the Ghost population.

## Events in *Epic Mickey*

### 1st Visit

Mickey will first arrive in Bog Easy after collecting 15 Power Sparks for Gremlin Markus. He will arrive to immediately meet a group of mischievous ghosts led by Gilbert. Gilbert will become elated at Mickey’s arrival and explain the situation. Since moving in, Gilbert has been itching to give its residents a proper good scare. In order to get the gate to Lonesome Manor open, he gives Mickey the option of helping him out via the quest Help Gilbert Scare Someone.

However, if Mickey progresses further into the level, he will find the Bog Easy Square and meet Metairie. Metairie will explain how the Toon residents have been terrorized by the Ghosts. She offers to help open the Lonesome Manor gate if Mickey agrees to help her friends, Bertrand and Louis. Completing either Metairie or Gilbert’s quest will successfully open the gate, but will mandatorily fail the other.

Alongside these quests, Mickey can also interact with some of the other residents. Ian, another of the Ghosts, mentions about how he was tasked by the librarian of Lonesome Manor, Madame Leona, with capturing one of her runaway books; however, he has lost track of it, and he offers to make it worth Mickey’s efforts if he looks for it. Mickey can also talk to Millicent, who is incessantly knocking on a door in the Square, believing someone is inside despite receiving no answer. Finally, deeper down in the Square, Mickey can talk to Gabriel, who will request that Mickey fix the Pipe Organ there.

### 2nd & 3rd Visits

After the player defeats The Mad Doctor, Gilbert will greet the player. Depending on how Mickey dealt with the Pipe Organ, the Ghosts will either be forced to remain in Bog Easy, or they will return to the Manor. If Mickey collected all the parts for Animatronic Donald, and receives the last remaining part from Gabriel (or he buys it), then he can help restore Donald.

Various quests can be completed here, including Detective Mickey IV and Bog Easy Race. The player will receive unique quests depending on if the ghosts are forced to remain in Bog Easy.

### Final Visits

After The Blot is released, the entirety of Wasteland is overrun by his Bloticles. After Mickey saves Mean Street and Ventureland from the Blot, his final destination will be Bog Easy. Bog Easy is overrun by several enemies and three bloticles, commencing the Battle of Bog Easy.

After the Battle concludes, the sky will be even darker than it anlready was and everything will be thinned out unless Mickey leaves and returns. Citizens will no longer enter a full conversation with the player. Unlike Ventureland, if the area still has the ghosts there, they will not mysteriously vanish like the Pirates do.

## Residents

The amount of residents depends on how the player acted in Lonesome Manor.
