Trivia

• Each variant of the stage has a big stone door that may be opened or closed. If opened, it gives access to a new area where chests, a Newt Altar and/or a Teleporter can spawn. If closed, no chest will spawn in the locked area.
• Towards the distant edges of the map, there are flying, passive monsters that can be killed with certain long-range abilities, such as MUL-T's Rebar Puncher and Commando's Phase Round. They have 1 health, and do not provide gold or experience when killed.
  • The name of the monsters are called Birdsharks, created accidentally when Hopoo messed up when trying to create a model for grass.
• The internal development name for Distant Roost is Black Beach.
• The remains of a Colossus from the original Risk of Rain can be seen outside the edge of the alternative variant of the stage.
