Deep Darkness is a location in EarthBound. It is home to a number of monkeys and Big Piles of Puke, as well as the Tenda of Tenda Village. Ness and friends visit the Deep Darkness using Dungeon Man's Yellow Submarine to cross the ocean there to South Scaraba.
The Deep Darkness area is a combination of marsh and swamp; delving into the deeper parts of the region is hazardous to the party's health. The entryway of the Deep Darkness is where the island's monkeys reside. It is also where a traveling salesman has opened shop, and serves as the location's Drugstore. Deeper into the swamp is a cavern where the Tenda reside. Prior to reaching this cavern, the party is ambushed by Master Belch, now rechristened "Master Barf" (Despite the fact he said he changed his name to puke), however his attack ultimately fails when Poo arrives after his training with the Star Master, and vanquishes Barf using PSI Starstorm α.
The Deep Darkness is also where the party discovers Fourside mayor Geldegarde Monotoli's private helicopter, which Pokey Minch had used to flee the city earlier in the game. Pokey however is nowhere to be found, as is the helicopter's engine, which is strangely missing.

Trivia[]
- The Deep Darkness's equivalent in EarthBound's sequel, Mother 3, is said to be Tanetane Island. Both areas require the party to cross an ocean south in order to be reached.
- Surprisingly enough, if the party tries to get through The Deep Darkness without using the Hawk Eye, they can get a decent distance into the dark part until the game forces them to use the Hawk Eye to continue.
