The Wooded Plateau, commonly known as East 2, is a heavily forested plateau in the mountainous eastern part of the island. Supports a large deer population.

Ordinarily this is the second area the user would visit. The cluster tower of this area looks like an imposing castle.

The area introduces the player to a new tool, the Driller.

Acquiring Schematic_108 in the Lost Lab is required to progress to Eastern Wetlands.
