Interacting with the cube will turn all of the NPC's into green cubes. Teleport to the Nexus using the Arms effect then make your way back to the Bone Maze.

Corrupted School

Entrance to Corrupted School

Having the Ghost effect for this event is needed.

To access this event you need to enter the Red Eye World to the north. Go right until you see some pale figures with a yellow eye near them then go straight down until you see the entrance pictured here (if the entrance isn't there simply wake up and try again). Equip the Ghost effect and enter the largest ones mouth.

Head straight up (press shift to go invisible as you move along) until you reach the top where three Kaibutsu will be waiting for you. Turn back. The reason you want to be invisible is as you reach the bottom a Kaibutsu much faster than you will appear and will catch you, however there will now be a path to your left that wasn't initially there. Head down it and enter the largest ones mouth. Enter the School.

In the room past the lobby, you will no longer be able to equip any effects. Kaibutsu's with iron pipes will chase you down to the school's basement, where a particular NPC will be waiting for you. The path to the basement is straightforward and you won't be caught as long as you keep moving the whole time.

You can also access this event as Rust by following the path described above. However, instead of Kaibutsu, large Red Demons will chase Rust through the school and will one-hit her if she's caught.

Childbirth

Entrance to the Childbirth event (before/after you hit it with the Iron Pipe)

Go to the Apartments that lead to the Sugar Hole cafe. There is a random chance that a face will be above a puddle of blood in the hallway. Equip your Iron Pipe and hit it. Enter into a room very much like the Flesh Walls. Go right and enter the doorway into a room full of black-haired girls. You can either kill them or use the Whistle effect to make them move out of your way. Clear a path to the doorway in the bottom right corner and enter it. You will get stuck in a room filled with the same black-haired NPCs with a large one stuck to the wall. One by one, the smaller ones explode in a pile of viscera before the large one's stomach splits open. Attempting to interact with her will cause the screen to fade out into static and you will be forced to wake up. This event adds points to your erosion counter.

Foggy Kaibutsu

Follow the Viscera effect guide up until you reach a hallway that splits off going left and right. Enter the door to your right instead of your left. Go down, head right when the path splits, right again when the path splits a second time then keep going up. You should reach two machine-like pillars. Go between them to reach a peaceful, foggy area. Head left and go between two gray pillars. You will now be in a darker area with a Kaibutsu standing in front of a gaping hole. Hit them with your Pipe and leave. The peaceful area you were previously in will now be full of large holes with eyes as well as Red Demons.

Glitch Event

The part of the wall you need to interact with.

Note: An event that can only be seen in versions 0.18 and onwards.

Go to the FC Dungeon (Entrance > Utility Pole World > Apartments > Cloud World > Famicom World > Machine Nation)

Go to the FC Dungeon (follow the path for the Television effect). Take the stairway to the left from the door that you'd find the Television effect, take the next stairway upwards which you bring you to a room. Interact with the top-left corner of the wall. If an empty text box pops up, the event has been activated. As you try to leave, the screen will glitch out more and more as you move further along. You will eventually be taken back to the room where the event was activated. Keep interacting with the wall in the top-left corner. The room will glitch out the more you interact with the wall and the screen will eventually completely glitch/fade out to black while a loud noise blares in the background, after which you will be forced awake.

Gore Demo

Collect all of the effects without killing any NPCs or raising your Erosion Counter. The next time you use the computer a little movie will play instead. Several of the major NPCs will pop up along with several scenes of gore. Sabitsuki will wake up and leave her computer when the film ends.

Nightmare Event

An event only seen in version 0.192.

You must have an Erosion Counter of over 250 points to see the event. After you've raised your Erosion Counter to that point simply go to your menu and wake up. It will show Sabitsuki in her bed and a Kaibutsu version will enter the room and hit her with a pipe. Sabitsuki will immediately wake up after this event.

Rainbow Flower

The Watering Can effect is needed for this event.

Go to the Psychedelic Streets via the City Coast (ground level). Go directly south from where you enter until you see two rainbow-coloured pillars. Go inbetween them into a room full of flowers. There will be a wilted flower directly in front of you. Use the Watering Can event to make the flower bloom. Interact with the flower to activate an event where the game screen fills with swirls that flash/change colour. You can exit the event by pressing Z or Enter.

Hole in Girl

Enter the Psychedelic Streets at ground-level. You'll find a pink building with two heart signs in front of it. Enter it to reach Sweet Sugar Hotel. Head through the left door. You may or may not have to kill the black monster guarding the last door, enter it and view the door inside - afterwards, go back to the hall. Enter the door with a maid and absolutely no music. Interact with her until you get transported to a dark red and black maze. Walk around until you find a melted puddle of sugar. Interact with it and follow along the hall. You'll see a black haired girl resembling the one from Deterioration standing on the edge of a cliff, with arms reaching down to her. You can't reach her or interact with her in any way.

Well Kaibutsu

The Kaibutsu that you have to attack.

Follow the Gas Mask effect guide to reach the hallway that blocks off where you enter with ivy. There will usually be a passive Kaibutsu walking around. You need to attack them with your Iron Pipe. Teleport back to the Nexus using the Arms effect then make your way to the Famicom World. Enter the well that is south from the path that you'd take to the FC Dungeon. There will now be a Kaibutsu in the well that will trap you in a pitch black area once interacted with.

No Music No Kindness

Follow the Diving Helmet effect guide to the Underwater Area. Go north and then turn to the right to entrance between pillars. Go right until you will arrive in Underwater Village. Use the Iron Pipe effect to kill all three guitar guys in Village (there is two in village and one in building with additional dresses). When you kill bards villagers turn into the chasers, or actually they can catch you and lock in inescapable area.

Dirty Deeds Done Creepy Things

Follow the Handgun effect guide to the Dark Alleyway. Navigate your way to the left, you should near to small area which blocked by road cones, every time when you goes to this place by random behind road cones you can see one of three things:

1. Some hobos with a bonfire;

2. Kaibutsu Leader which punch someone in bloody meat mass;

3. Strange small laughing short creature;

4. Meido/Gas Mask Cleaner in a bloody apron with a chainsaw in her hands.

Also there is a random chance that road cones will be removed and you can enter in that empty area. But when you go back, a some fast distorted cloaked figure will catch you, after that Sabitsuki will be in the closed area with those cloaked figures. To leave this place just find a door in south-east direction.

Smile Without Smile

Follow the Black Hood effect guide to the Disposal Area/Underground World. Navigate your way to the area which blocked by bathtub and three boys. Use the Handgun effect to draw attention of boy near to the bathtub, then interact with the bathtub to see his full face picture. Also, to see face of boy with his "tattoos" just use Handgun, but don't interact with the bathtub or by becoming Rust go there and interact with the that bathtub.

Sugar Float Days

At least 3,000 yen is required for this event.

After you have eaten cake at the Sugar Hole at least ten times, start a new dream session and visit Sugar Hole again. Interact with the maid behind the counter and in the backroom, then go to the Apartments through the elevator. The area that was previously blocked by a traffic cone will be accessible. Enter it to view the event. You will briefly see a younger Sabitsuki and an NPC resembling the one who appears in Deterioration sharing tea, before the screen flashes and they disappear. This area is one-way and you cannot return from it.
