The Forest Lake Ruins is one of several hidden locations within Degrees of Lewdity. It is located within the aforementioned Forest Lake.
Description
"You are in the submerged ruin beneath the lake. Glowing purple lichen covers ancient walls."
How to Enter
The lake ruins can be accessed by swimming further out into the lake, then choosing to dive down.
During winter, the lake froze over, so the player can walk further out. The player will then have to break the ice (0:30) before they could dive down.
First Steps
The player has two options when first entering the ruins:
- Swim deeper
- Swim outside
During winter, the lake is frozen. The player will have to Break the Ice (0:30) first before diving down. This will increase Fatigue by a small amount.
Choosing to swim deeper/dive allows the player to begin their treasure-hunting adventure.
Walkthrough
While inside the ruins, there is a limited amount of time for air. Each turn the player will have an Air meter which decreases with each action the player takes. This will naturally continue until the player either resurfaces and the Air meter disappears, or until the meter reaches zero - causing Stress to increase at a rapid pace, to the point where it will cause the player to pass out if they do not resurface quickly enough.
Events
Consensual Tentacles
During visits to the plinth room, if Bestiality is enabled and the player has Deviancy 4, the player can engage in a consensual tentacle encounter.
Ear Slime Parasite Purge Ceremony
The plinth room is too the only place where is possible get rid of the ear slime parasite (see Parasites for full details).
Followed from the Depths
Upon surfacing, there is a chance that something followed the player from the depths. The player might feel something brushing their leg, increasing Arousal and Stress. Otherwise the player is attacked by a swarm of fish, or may be swallowed by a frog.
Items
Initially inside the ruins the player will encounter the purple lichen which can be used for the Lichen Project during the Science Fair.
Deeper within the ruins, the player encounters the option to search through pots. These pots can contain a variety of things.
- They can simply be empty.
- They can be full of pebbles, broken ceramics, or mud.
- Something can snap at the player's hand, increasing Stress.
- They can be full of a purple dust, increasing Stress and Arousal.
- They can contain an ivory box which can be taken. With high enough Skulduggery, the player can open the box and get a silver ring, a gold necklace, a Golden Chastity Belt or an Ivory Necklace as well.
- The player can find a decaying bronze key, which unlocks the plinth room within the Lake Ruins.
- A Golden Chastity Belt may be found when searching pots. When choosing to look at it, the player wraps it around their waist. This belt is purposefully designed as a trap for speeding through treasure-hunting, and it is very difficult to remove. To see what it looks like, visit this page: Restrictive Clothing.
- The Ivory Necklace is a one-time only item (meaning you can only find it once per playthrough). Taking it will evoke the anger of a terrible being, so consider carefully before taking it.
Winter can appraise the found items at the Museum. In return for the items the player will gain cash and can learn some snippets of the background of each item. Each ivory box is worth 20, each silver ring is worth 30, each gold necklace is worth 500, each golden chastity belt is worth 2000 and the the Ivory Necklace is worth 2000.
Trivia
- This is an ideal spot for treasure-hunting.
- Before version 0.3.13, it wasn't possible to do anything in the Plinth room without taking the Ivory Necklace first
