File Island Locations
FILE ISLAND
Since it was last visited by the Adventure kids, the island has undergone some massive changes. For starters, nearly a third of the island has been taken over by features native to Hawaii, such as two active volcanoes (Mauna Kea on the island proper, and Mauna Loa off the northwest coast) and Diamond Head. A giant rain forest has also taken root over a large section as well. While temperatures in the rain forest area rarely dip below 75 to 80F, even at night, the humidity easily makes it feel like 90F. Throughout the dense rain forest, it’s possible to come across small, unmarked rivers that trail down from the craggy areas to the north. Some may even empty out into little ponds by way of waterfalls.
One of the other largest areas is a vast meadow, just to the south of Infinity Mountain. Tall grass, shrubs, and fields of flowers are commonly found, but trees are far and few in between. The wind blows in easily from the shore, so temperatures are typically a balmy 65-80F. To the northwest of the meadows is Mihirashi Mountain, a now dormant volcano. A group of Meramon can be found on top where their combined heat nearly boils the water as it flows down to the nearby Yokomon Village. For those who know not what lives on the mountain top, the heat haze is the first hint. The second is the oppressive heat that only increases the closer you get to the top. The third... well, you’ve probably seen some DemiMeramon running around the mountain side, but as you get to the peak, you’ll meet some very surprised Meramon. Up here, the air temperature easily hits 150F and higher, starting halfway up the mountain side. Any water found coming down the mountainside will be no hotter than 190F and visibly steaming. But on the bright side, if you let it cool, it’s definitely safe to drink. Just south of the mountain is the Yokomon Village. It has grown considerably and now includes a population of Biyomon and one Birdramon that acts as its guardian. Many travelers stop by before heading to the desert in order to collect some of the clean water that comes off the mountain. Just outside a cluster of small thatched-roof houses is a half-sunken cruise liner where the village’s residents take shelter when things get bad.
To the south of the meadow is one of two major beach areas on the island. This one in particular is called Coela Beach. While narrower, it is one of the longest beaches you’ll find as it now occupies the entire southwest coast. There are areas of the beach where lines of phone booths that call to nowhere stand. Maybe you’ll hear someone talking, but they can’t hear you if you try talking to them. Odds are, you don’t even know who it is. It might be half of someone’s phone call, it might be a foreign phone operator. Think of it like chat roulette but without the videos of guys with... yeah. You get it. Anyway, winds off the water keep the weather warm, but not miserable. Think typically mid-80s, but with an ocean and a breeze.
Bordering the beaches and the meadow, there’s another desert. But this one is much smaller than the one on Terminal Island. Again, the temperatures are scorching hot during the day, but plummet to near-freezing at night. At least you’re not too far from either beach to the west or the shelter of a forest to the north.
The farther north you head through the forest, the cooler it gets. The cooler it gets, the more likely you are to see snow on the trees. While some areas seem to be so crowded with trees that it gets dark, there’s nothing to fear. A little light always manages to filter in through the leaves and branches. Depending where you are, the temperatures can be as hot as 65F, maybe 75 if you’re close to the desert, or 20-30F if you’re farther north.
In the very north of the island is the one iced-over region currently known. Home to many polar or otherwise cold-resistant Digimon, such as Frigimon, Garurumon, Whamon, Mojyamon and others, it’s extremely rare for temperatures to rise above 32F. It often snows, leaving the ground and plant-life covered in snow or ice. Those partners not as acclimated to the cold won’t be able to stay for very long. Unless you don’t realize that they can get sick after a couple hours here. To the north of the area, the snow gets noticeably wetter. Good for snowballs, annoying for walking. In other spots, it’s all iced over, meaning lighter people will be able to walk on top of the snow without sinking. Just off the coast the water is cold enough to support a massive field of drift ice. Digimon such as Whamon and Ikkakumon will be able to swim out with you to explore, but beyond that, you may want to keep your view of them limited to passing through in a Trailmon.
Southeast to all the ice and snow you will literally find mostly rocky hills. The trees are far and few in between, leaving the majority of the flora that exists as scrubs. The chilly air from the north doesn't drift too far south, leaving average temperatures between 40 and 55F. On the eastern coast, Hawaii’s Diamond Head can be found. Southwest to the Cliff Terminal (so dubbed for the rocky ledge it sits on), Mauna Kea sits on the area border before turning into dense rain forest.
In the very center of the island, Infinity Mountain can be seen for miles around in any direction. Smaller mountains surround it, but every mountain in the Digital World, imported from the Real World or native, is dwarfed by the central peak. Climbing it is a feat that only those of decent health or fierce determination can accomplish. Very few Digimon live on the mountain, and none are found after passing the cloud line. The higher you go, the colder it gets, as shown by the permanent layer of snow capping the top.
The largest village on File Island is Primary Village, run by its lone caretaker and guardian, Elecmon. The decor feels like it belongs in a giant’s nursery with giant building blocks with pictures on their sides stacked up all around. Trees have assorted toys hanging from the branches. And some patches of ground (away from the Digieggs, of course) may allow you to bounce high into the air. This is where all Digimon go to be reborn when they “die”. Their data is reconfigured and their Digiegg is laid out in a massive field. There are literally hundreds of Digieggs, so while finding your fallen partner may seem impossible, don’t lose hope. Reach into your heart and think of the bond with your partner Digimon. You’ll find them on instinct. Or maybe you just came by to visit. Elecmon will appreciate the help once he affirms that you’re not a threat to his babies. Give an egg a rub and it will hatch! Once they leave their little cradles in the field, they live in little thatched-roof houses within the village’s protective walls. After they Digivolve to in-training, they’re free to head out into the world, whether out into File Island or off into the Net Ocean via Coela Beach.
What’s the Net Ocean you ask? Why it’s simply the great big digital sea! Everything from Digital World fish that you can catch and eat to aquatic Digimon live in it.
