Underpath

In Misery of Magic, the Underpath is the fifth major area. It separates the Western Top Level from the Eastern Top Level. It is made of rough brown stone with metal pipes and plates and electronic components sticking out of the walls.

Story
In ages past, the Underpath was built using the End Tools to provide an easier way for cats to reach The End from the Waking Grounds in Shade Hollow.

Layout
The Underpath connects to the Top Level at the far left and far right of the area. There is also a stairway to the bottom level of the Remnant, allowing most of that area to be skipped with the right approach.

Deep Underpath
There are several warps leading to the Deep Underpath. This is a darker area which a much higher Encounter Rate, a different set of possible random encounters, and has walls that Demons can pass through. The layout of its rooms mirror a section of the normal Underpath, although it only covers part of the area. Towards the far right of the area, as one nears the stairs to the Eastern Top Level, there is a short section which requires entering the Deep Underpath.

Control Rooms
There are two rooms with four Control Pyramids each: one in the normal Underpath and the corresponding room in the Deep Underpath. In both rooms, the correct combination of control pyramids must be activated for the way to the Eastern Top Level to open.

Hardcoded Encounters
The following Demons always appear in specific rooms in Underpath:
 * Demon 41A (x2), Demon 41B
 * Demon 41A (x2), Demon 42B
