Lower Mines

The Lower Mines was an arena featured in Outworld.

Overview

This location within some mines (probably the Cobalt Mines of Shokan) was used to help in the forging of weapons for Outworld. The cliff side arena lies on the outer edge of the Golden Desert. Centuries ago, giant caverns were dug into the mountainside where statues were placed. A new community came here after the deep water well sprung, creating an oasis.

The Lower Mines are pretty much exactly what they sound like. You start the fight underground in what resembles a cave/mine. To the kombatants' left, is a huge mechanical dragon head with rows upon rows of sharp teeth; it's mouth opens and closes as the fighters battle it out. A Death Trap occurs if your opponent is knocked into this mechanical head which will be detailed below. To the left and right of the dragon head are wooden structures used to help the miners; numerous walkways can be seen going up and down the walls. To the fighters' left, is a wooden fence. If you or your opponent are knocked into this fence, it breaks and you fall to the lower portion of the mines. This area of the mines resembles the upper area except there are 2 more Death Traps down here. Directly behind the fighter who took the fall is a gigantic steel rock crusher; you can be knocked into this for a very gruesome Death Trap which is detailed below. The area you fight in is surrounded by a small black fence, behind which a massive furnace can be seen. Behind the character who jumps down after the other was hit through the fence is a steep drop-off to a fire pit. Behind this fire pit are conveyor belts moving rocks to and from eventually depositing them into this fire pit.
