The River of Darkness is a long winding river on the Dark Island which begins at the foothills of the Temple of Light. It is bordered by the Billy Badlands as well as the mountains housing the Temple of Light. It intersects through Jankikai Jungle.
Trees and shrubs along the river have been blackened and are starting to rot due to Dark Matter, and the water shines with a corrupt and dark purple glow. Landmarks of the river include the crash site of the Destiny's Bounty and a skull shaped cave where Wu and Clouse once fought.

Wu fought and defeated shadow version of himself on the river. Eventually, he found Clouse in a skull shaped cave toward the beginning of the River of Darkness. After a short fight and learning of Clouse's plans, Wu was found by Cole and travelled further upriver towards the Temple of Light in the Destiny's Bounty.
