World

## **Eternal Field**

The Eternal Field is an endless field of flowers that you will find yourself in after dying inside the Gut. This place serves as a hub world and a place to find supplies that will help you on your next descent into The Gut. There are also many scattered roses found all throughout the field that, when picked up, will grant a health regeneration; therefore making the Eternal Field a great place to recover health between runs also. It's important to explore this place thoroughly before each run to make sure you are as prepared as possible.

A living bicycle called Snout is happy to help you get around the field faster and give you "advice" for your journey.

Scattered around the Eternal Field are an amount of golden keys that can unlock gates blocking your path in the field. These keys can also be found rarely in The Gut or be bought from Val. Also hidden around the field are a total of nine pieces of Golden Meat which give a small, permanent boost to your maximum health.

## **The Gut**

"*You are good meat. Do not fight. Behave well and I will love you.*" - Whispers from the Gut.

Far below and above the Eternal Field lies the Gut, an abstract nightmare of twisted imagination. It is both the main setting and "antagonist" of the game.

Violent, misshapen monsters roam these increasingly dangerous and complex labyrinths, and your loved one is trapped inside of it. The Gut itself is alive and will react to your actions. The more you kill, the more the Gut will be angered with you. As the Gut becomes angrier, the floors get more and more dangerous and trading with friendly characters becomes increasingly expensive. Either press H to attack yourself or sacrifice your gold at the golden Tree in the Eternal Field to earn its forgiveness. You can check how The Gut feels about you in the Whispers section of your journal.
The only way to save She and return home is to venture in and brave the horrors. On your journey you will pass through a variety of different biomes as you descend through the floors of the Gut.

Each biome is comprised of three floors with the third floor containing a boss meat, and must be completed in order to obtain one of She's body parts, but is otherwise just like a normal floor. Killing the boss meat will cause it to drop two keys. Each floor requires you to collect an increasing amount of keys to proceed to the next floor. Collecting the final key on the second floor of a biome will cause every enemy on the floor to enrage and hone in on your location so make sure you have a clear path to elevator in mind before picking up the last key.

# Biomes

### Gut Corridors

Gut Corridors is the first biome found in The Gut and is also the easiest to clear with the primary threat being only Mimics. This was the only biome accessible in the demo.

#### *Monsters*

Floors -1 to -3: Pile of Meat, Giant Meat Mr. Blade, Moocher, Meater

Biome boss: **Carre**

### Meat Factory

Meat Factory is the second biome encountered. Rusted and malformed pipes line the dirty tiled walls, while strange devices fill the air with mechanical whirring. This Biome was added in the Meat Song update. It is the first biome to introduce Number 217.

#### *Monsters*

Floors-4 to -7: Condemned, Face Eaters, Mr. Legs

Biome boss: **Meall**

### Cages

The Cages can be accessed by dying while in the Eternal Field. Rusted beds, hooks, cabinets, and torture equipment litter this place. As such, this biome is akin to a mental asylum.

#### *Monsters*

Floor -7: Eye Taker, Gut Jumper, Stranger in a Bag.

Biome boss: **Needles**

### Backstreets

The Backstreets can be accessed via the maze-like alleys in the Eternal Field. The player must approach gramophone and "listen to the melody". As its name implies, the Backstreets is a maze of urban buildings.

#### *Monsters*

Floors -10 to -12: Mr. Window, Mr. Pole, Meat Cop

Biome boss: **Gut Divers**

### Meatwoods

The Meatwoods is a biome that can be accessed within the snow region of the Eternal Field, which is often located the furthest away from the grave in the Eternal Field. Meatwoods is mainly composed of the Cabin and the Snowfields. It is the first biome to introduce Bonechill as a permanent status effect.

#### *Monsters*

Floor -13: Deeeeeeer, Gobber

Biome boss: **Maneater**

### The Reds

The Reds is a biome that can be accessed in the Eternal Field via climbing the contorted statue that housed a tall, theater curtain at the top. It is a biome resembling an art gallery or theater piece, walled-in by dark red curtains.

#### *Monsters*

Floor -16 to -18: Bugbut

Biome boss: **Castle**

### The Insides

The deepest depths of the Gut, your final obstacle to taking back your loved one. Here, all pretenses of normality are dropped and the Gut reveals its true self, nothing but twisted corridors of horrid flesh.

#### *Monsters*

Floor -19 to -21: Feash

Biome boss: **Gutworm**

### The Library

The first bonus biome of the game, it can be entered using the giant typewriter in The Field. Compared to other biomes, this one is the most difficult. The floor number is mostly irrelevant, but continuing through the biome places the player so far into Endless Mode that continued survival is practically impossible.

#### *Monsters*

Floor -1406 to ,-1408: Mr. Gaze, Mr. Book

Biome boss: **Scourge**

### Blood Flowers

The only biome found exclusive to the spinoff, Golden Light of Rose. Resembling a combination of a rose-covered hedge maze and a Japanese zen garden, the Blood Flowers can be a confusing labyrinth to navigate without a Map.

#### *Monsters*

Floor -3 to ,-1: Loveless, Jerry

Biome boss: None

#### *Hazards*

Dor, Hands
