Waiting Room

“*The hub of your adventure, this is the waiting room of the station "Bottom of Barbs," the last of Line 15.
Situated under the Tower of Barbs, this room contains many interesting features.
Just what are you waiting for, you ask? Perhaps the question should be... what is waiting for you?*”
 — Barb's Bible
This is the player's hub. Here, they can shop for equipment, store items, level up, collect bonuses, access their characters, and more.

## Interesting Features

### Reward Box

Quest Rewards, Login Bonus, Expedition Loot, Defense Rewards, TDM Lost Bags, Royalty Death Bag slot items (upon expiration of the Express Pass), and Presents are placed in this box.

### Storage Chest

Players can store items from their Death Bag here. It can be expanded using Death Metal x2 for 10 more slots under the DH Services tab in the Options Menu.

### Vanishing Point

A fountain in the center of the Waiting Room's main chamber which provides access to the Arcade and fully heals the player.

### Uncle Prime Box

A present from Uncle Death himself on his Death Mobile. It unlocks 20 hours after it shows up, and a new box will not appear until the unlocked box is opened and you leave and return to the waiting room. A short cutscene will play to show when a new box has shown up.

Its contents can range from a wide variety of items, from weapon and armor blueprints, golden beasts, tuber metals to even red faction metals!

### Tokyo Death Metro

A kiosk, ran by the operator Tetsuo, is the access point for the Tokyo Death Metro (TDM) asynchronous multiplayer system, you can choose to raid other players, set up your waiting room's defenses, and even decorate your waiting room. The TDM terminal is also where you can spend SPlithium to upgrade your Buffalo Bank and SPlithium Tank to increase your max storage of each and their HP, making them harder to destroy when you are defending against a raid.

### Restrooms

The area in which you store the fighters you've abducted during Tokyo Death Metro raids. They stay there until rescued by other players raiding your base and freeing them, their timer has expired and they get automatically released leaving you rewards, or are let go by you.

### Fighter Freezer

Here, the players can access their fighters. Uncle Death can be asked to retrieve dead characters for Kill Coins which will keep their inventory intact. Alternatively you can use a freebie salvage which completely destroys the Haterfied character's Death Bag but costs nothing. Haterfied characters can be sent out into other players games. The player can also choose which character to play with and change inactive fighter settings (including name and deathbag configuration) and Skill Decals.

### Stamp Mount Exchange

Unlocks after beating Taro Gunkanyama and having reached Chojo. Located to the right of the Superscope 703, between the Fighter Freezer and the Tokyo Death Metro machine, using this allows you to reset your stamp rally in case you got a MISS on one and wanted to get a new chance, you can choose which of the Don's Areas (each set of 10 floors) to reset, and doing so wipes all of those stamps clean, to find again. Updated to now include the 40+ floors (Stamp Rally II) as a option.

### Superscope 703

A new implementation, located to the left of the Stamp Mount Exchange, is a fast way to Naomi's Machine to accept and turn in Quests, so you don't have to back out through the Vanishing Point and go through the arcade to get to it. The two children next to the machine are Tetsuo's twin siblings. Their eyes will glow and arms will spin to notify you when new quests are available.

## Tower Entry

### Escalator

Provides access to the first floor of the Tower of Barbs, Ikegara.

### Elevator

Provides access to any floor in the Tower of Barbs with a main elevator that the player has activated, for a price paid in Kill Coins.

### Express Elevator

Operated by the mysterious Rin Torai, this elevator is only open to those who are using a Direct Hell Express Pass, its free to operate and can be used even if being chased by enemies (as long as they aren't too close behind you).

## Shops

### Choku-Funsha

A weapons and armor shop, ran by Kommodore Suzuki. Players can bring blueprints they find in the tower here. Once you bring a blueprint and the necessary materials to develop the blueprint, you can start Research & Development (R&D) to create the item or boost the damage/defense and durability of an existing item. Once R&D is complete, the item will be available for purchase with Kill Coins. Players can also sell any items at the Choku-Funsha. His twin brother runs the shop Gyakufunsha, which roams the tower at random and sells crafting materials and blueprints.

### Mushroom Club

Here, players can purchase Skill Decals from Momoko Yamada, the Mushroom Magistrate. These decals can be attached to the player to provide bonuses. If the player brings the bronze, silver or golden skillshroom to the Mushroom Club, he can trade them for Skill Decals. The player can also drink Mushroom Stew here, which includes a premium Skill Decal.

**Grill:** Throw Mushrooms or other edible items onto the grill (or preform the throwing action while the right hand is very close to the grill) will barbecue them. This will alter the items effects. (Throwing it may result in the loss of the item when in lands in an unreachable area.)

### Mingo Head

This strange looking creature allows you to use your accumulated experience on a Fighter to level them up. If you max out the stats on a Grade 6 Fighter, you can "Uncap" to increase that Fighter's stat levels even more!

### Vending Machine "Hernia"
