What makes it different

  • A Mountain with various ape statues carved from it overlooking the redwoods biome.
  • A large natural bridge connecting from the snow biome to the redwoods biome.
  • An island with lava rivers and lava lakes flowing throughout it.
  • An enormous Ocean that gets much darker the deeper you go (normal maps do it but to a far lesser degree).
  • 2 Underwater Domes which can be used as waterproof bases.
  • A fall which leads to a bottomless ocean.
  • A massive floating island called The Center.
  • A Island which has the appearance of a Skull.
  • Glowing green spores throughout most of the map.
  • A Massive Underground ecosystem with its own miniature sun and branching tunnels that lead further into different portions of the Underground World.
  • The Boss Arena can be seen from the normal map unlike other maps, also due to it being part of the map itself it is also the only boss arena to have a Day and Night cycle.

Changes in Ascended

  • Added new creatures, such as the Shastasaurus.
  • Minor changes on the map.
