* Are complicated Glitches and it took the community years to find them out.
* Could be found out by yourself or through a Companions showing it to you. By reading this you might spoil yourself a nice surprise.
* Are missing a detailed description. Investigation on how they work is needed, your help is highly welcomed.

## List of sights

From South to North (the Mountain). Please refer to the accompanying level map for exact locations.

### Hidden chirp symbol

*Main article:* Hidden chirp symbol
Right below the South-East corner of the map, a hidden glowing chirp symbol can sometimes be seen.

See the level map for location.

### Foggy Area

Located near the South-East edge of the visible surface.

It's a small area that has very close fog distance. Best place to play hide and seek with a Companion.

### Invisible platform

There is an invisible platform in the South-East end of the main level area, at approximately the height of the level entrance. It can be reached by Charge Boosting from the opposite side of the map (the famous CB practice spot).

You can sit on the platform and meditate mid-air whilst observing the level. Most of the OOB as well as the entire in-bounds area are visible, as are the fake bridges on the East/West side).

There is another invisible platform on the North side of the level, above the Sandfall with the gate that marks the end of the level. It also can be reached via CBing.

See Images and videos below.

### Black Cube

Before the HL banner is another hill and on top of that is a "black cube" hanging in the air.

You will not see it from far only when you go onto the hill. You can fly into it and will be able to see your companion, just the environment will be black as long as you are in the cube. As with most (perhaps all?) of these black cubes, a small cloud can be found inside.

See Images and videos below.

### "The Tumbler"

*Main article:* The Tumbler
There are certain places where the wind throws you on your back. This alone is a fun thing, that many enjoy.

Sometimes you just keep on rotating.

### Pink Desert "decorations"

There is a rectangular pit on the North side of the canyon (where you exit into after walking through the corridor at the end of the level if playing normally). A circle of fake clouds can be seen in that area if going through OOB but not much else.

However, if you visit this area *after* sitting through the History Lesson, you'll find a green backdrop from Pink Desert, some fake pink dunes (low resolution and pretty flat), plus some new walls and a staircase, all of which are used in the end-of-level sequence.

The screenshots at Images and videos show this area before and after HL.

### HL Banner

*Main article:* History Lesson Banner (HL Banner)#Broken Bridge
It can be seen near the Black Cube. It's located to the North-West.

### The "twilight zone"

In the North-West part of the OOB, stretching along the edge of the Northern Blackness, there is an unusual area where everything becomes dark and washed out. Unlike "normal" blackness which cuts in instantly, this area is more of a "twilight zone" where depending on camera angle some parts of the level remain visible (as are chirps).

In a way it's similar to semi-blackness found at the start of the Underground level in OOB. It is possible to experience various degrees of fading by walking along the shoulder of the pink hill and rotating the camera, but be careful as the actual blackness is right next to this area.

A brief video showing the location and the behavior of this unusual "twilight zone" is at Images and videos below.

### Liquid Sand Falls

*Main article:* Liquid Sand
All along the West side of the map, there is an unstable layer that looks like tiles or stripes of sand which peel and bend as you walk. A similar effect can also be found in the Snow level.

A short video is in the Images and videos section.

### Images and videos

#### Far South, West side

After entering the OOB (headbonkers) fly up to the top and to the far West. Then bypass the whole level, heading where the chapter select level would be.

#### Pink Desert "decorations"

* Looking south, before HL...
* ...after HL
* Looking north, before HL...

## Routes (empty)

**The Wiki needs you! Tell us about your favorite routes. Tips on structrue and what to mention are below.** General editing information - here.

"Easy routes": are recommendations for newcomers or people who like to show OOB to newcomers.

* avoid places to get stuck
* easy to lead / little to no Fancy Flying
* no tricky triggers. Example: a place where its easy to hit a trigger and wind starts, getting frosty, camera can get stuck etc. Falls under "avoid danger zones".

 Leading Companions into OOB, can lead to problems: If a Companion flies off (curious), it is better to follow them. They could get lost quickly and a disconnect may happen, leaving them alone in the new terrain. Be flexible and on-the-fly change the route.

Short overview, specials on this route, warnings.

### The route

* Enter OOB at [link to entrances at oob article]

Pictures will help to hint to certain place (like: here up, navigate around here etc.).

==Trivia==\*The location and size of the Foggy Area in this OOB match precisely with the unreachable Cube Mountain in Tower OOB (unreachable because it's far inside Blackness). There is no explanation for this, and no other evidence that they are somehow connected, but it's a curious feature.

* A similar foggy area also exists in the same corner in Beta Pink Desert (Level 9), further suggesting that this was a development artefact left behind.
