Barrens

The Barrens is the first major location Niko and the Player arrive to. It's a desolate land filled with multiple abysses, ruined machinery, and abandoned factories. Many Phosphor shrimp exist in this area.

Trivia

 * When the map file is opened using RPG Maker XP, a picture of Niko appeared to be drawn using the map's tileset is shown.
 * According to a journal entry in the Swamp, the sole reason the poisonous gas doesn't spread is because the native shrimp consume the gas.
