'''The Heap''' is the {{element|stench|}} zone in [[Hobopolis]]. During combat, {{element|stench|}} damage is taken over time.
{{statrec|The buzzing of flies assaults your ears as you near the Heap, but the ear trauma is nothing compared to the flat-out war the Heap is waging on your nasal cavities. You're not sure you can fight here and keep your lunch down.}}

==Notes==
*49-51 hobo kills are needed to advance each image file, depending on the total number of hobos in the zone.
*[[Oscus]] will only appear when the location's image is on its 10th variation. After defeating Oscus this area can no longer be explored.
*Attempting to adventure here after Oscus has been defeated yields the message:
:The Heap is empty. Well, let me rephrase that. It's still full of garbage, but there's nobody and nothing of interest mixed in with the garbage.
*Several people can sit in the junkpile choice adventure at once, but it seems to require a higher ambient stench level (i.e. set off more trashcanos) for each successive person to actually find it. Actually diving into the junkpile resets the ambient stench, but all the people currently simultaneously in the choice adventure can still dive even though ambient stench is now 0 (so long as they actually found the adventure while the stench level was still high), allowing for cooperative simultaneous diving.
