It's located in the right tip of the Croissant, separated from the rest of the Playground.

== Role in the Plot ==
Vermillion Wasteland is a planned but abandoned area of [[CrossWorlds]]. [[Benedict Sidwell|Sidwell]] somehow obtained control over the area, and turned it into the central location of the [[Evotar]] interrogation project. Newly-created Evotars are introduced here, and spend time in the area recovering their memories before entering the [[Vermillion Dungeon]] where they are interrogated.
 
After being abducted by the [[Designer]] during the [[Para island raid]], [[Lea]] finds herself in Vermillion Wasteland. [[Sergey Asimov|Sergey]] seems unable to bring her back to the main playground, and advises her to explore the area for now. After a brief encounter with [[Gautham Ranganathan|Gautham]], Lea meets up with [[Luke|Lukas]], who has also been trapped in the area. The two are forced to form a party and take part in a mandatory quest, [[The Southern Trial Building]], which reveals a strange office building. After the quest, Lukas realizes he is unable to log out or remove his [[CrossWorlds Technology|Cross Gear]], and he doesn't remember his life outside the game. The two have no choice but to return to their rooms and sleep.
 
The next day, Lea and Lukas are prevented from starting the next quest, so Lukas takes Lea on a tour of the area instead.
 
The following day, Lea is confronted by [[Shizuka Sakai|Shizuka]], who reveals the truth about her: she is actually an AI. Lea suffers a severe mental breakdown from this revelation, and pushes Sergey away. She meets up with Lukas again, and the two start the next mandatory quest, [[The Northern Trial Building]], with Lukas realizing something is seriously wrong with Lea, but being unable to help her given her speech synchronization issues. Eventually, Lea breaks down in tears over the realization that she does not exist outside the game, and will be trapped there forever. Lukas is finally able to get through to her, and in a heartfelt conversation reminds her of the friends she has made who are still waiting for and missing her. The two decide to leave the quest for another day.
 
The following day, Lea and Lukas complete the quest, revealing a messy apartment that turns out to be a copy of Lukas's. The office building seen previously was Lukas's workplace, and the quests are revealed to be intended to help him regain his memory. With the second quest completed, a path to the [[Vermillion Dungeon]] opens, a place from which no players have ever returned. The two make plans to go there the next day.


{{QuestBox
On the final day in the wasteland, [[Benedict Sidwell|Sidwell]] briefly meets with Lea and apologizes for Shizuka's actions. Lea and Lukas meet up, and after sneaking past many Shredders on a suspiciously intentional-seeming path, enter the Vermillion Dungeon.

== Treasures ==
In the [[Vermillion Raid]], near the end of the game, Lea and her friends return to Vermillion Wasteland. Their goal here is to inflict all the Evotars with a hitstun bug, which should cause the [[Evotar Server]] to crash, allowing Lea to retrieve it without Sidwell erasing the data. While they are ultimately successful, Sidwell reveals that he is still able to erase the dungeon instance the server is located in, physically destroying it. However, at this point Gautham intervenes, taking control of the environment server from Sidwell and challenging Lea to complete his Ultimate Experience in exchange for access to the Evotar Server. Lea accepts and enters the [[Vermillion Tower]], leaving her friends behind.

In the [[A New Home]] DLC, Lea, [[Toby Tremblay|C'tron]] and [[Emilie-Sophie de Belmond|Emilie]] return to Vermillion Wasteland one final time in an attempt to discover the final clue to C'tron's past. Entering a secret lab under the area, they find and defeat [[Sidwell (boss)|Sidwell]], or rather an enemy based on his avatar, leading C'tron to finally remember the events leading up to him ending up on the Evotar Server.

Vermillion Wasteland is a location that is an unofficial area of CrossWorlds. It's a dark and strange region designed and built early in CrossWorlds' development, but was later put on hold. It's located in the right tip of the Croissant, separated from the rest of the Playground.

Layout

Most of the region is immediately accessible. The South and North Challenges are unlocked during The Southern Trial Building and The Northern Trial Building quests respectively. The storage rooms are unlocked later in the plot, on the way to the Vermillion Dungeon.

Role in the Plot

Vermillion Wasteland is a planned but abandoned area of CrossWorlds. Sidwell somehow obtained control over the area, and turned it into the central location of the Evotar interrogation project. Newly-created Evotars are introduced here, and spend time in the area recovering their memories before entering the Vermillion Dungeon where they are interrogated.

After being abducted by the Designer during the Para island raid, Lea finds herself in Vermillion Wasteland. Sergey seems unable to bring her back to the main playground, and advises her to explore the area for now. After a brief encounter with Gautham, Lea meets up with Lukas, who has also been trapped in the area. The two are forced to form a party and take part in a mandatory quest, The Southern Trial Building, which reveals a strange office building. After the quest, Lukas realizes he is unable to log out or remove his Cross Gear, and he doesn't remember his life outside the game. The two have no choice but to return to their rooms and sleep.

The next day, Lea and Lukas are prevented from starting the next quest, so Lukas takes Lea on a tour of the area instead.

The following day, Lea is confronted by Shizuka, who reveals the truth about her: she is actually an AI. Lea suffers a severe mental breakdown from this revelation, and pushes Sergey away. She meets up with Lukas again, and the two start the next mandatory quest, The Northern Trial Building, with Lukas realizing something is seriously wrong with Lea, but being unable to help her given her speech synchronization issues. Eventually, Lea breaks down in tears over the realization that she does not exist outside the game, and will be trapped there forever. Lukas is finally able to get through to her, and in a heartfelt conversation reminds her of the friends she has made who are still waiting for and missing her. The two decide to leave the quest for another day.

The following day, Lea and Lukas complete the quest, revealing a messy apartment that turns out to be a copy of Lukas's. The office building seen previously was Lukas's workplace, and the quests are revealed to be intended to help him regain his memory. With the second quest completed, a path to the Vermillion Dungeon opens, a place from which no players have ever returned. The two make plans to go there the next day.

On the final day in the wasteland, Sidwell briefly meets with Lea and apologizes for Shizuka's actions. Lea and Lukas meet up, and after sneaking past many Shredders on a suspiciously intentional-seeming path, enter the Vermillion Dungeon.

In the Vermillion Raid, near the end of the game, Lea and her friends return to Vermillion Wasteland. Their goal here is to inflict all the Evotars with a hitstun bug, which should cause the Evotar Server to crash, allowing Lea to retrieve it without Sidwell erasing the data. While they are ultimately successful, Sidwell reveals that he is still able to erase the dungeon instance the server is located in, physically destroying it. However, at this point Gautham intervenes, taking control of the environment server from Sidwell and challenging Lea to complete his Ultimate Experience in exchange for access to the Evotar Server. Lea accepts and enters the Vermillion Tower, leaving her friends behind.

In the A New Home DLC, Lea, C'tron and Emilie return to Vermillion Wasteland one final time in an attempt to discover the final clue to C'tron's past. Entering a secret lab under the area, they find and defeat Sidwell, or rather an enemy based on his avatar, leading C'tron to finally remember the events leading up to him ending up on the Evotar Server.
