Shorah again Annabelle and gabriml,
Thanks for the wonderful photos Annabelle, I think I've found what you are talking about in the old version of Somewhere. gabriml, I couldn't find the place on the tower where you describe jumping off; but I did accidentally find a couple places at Wolf Pool where there are holes but couldn't duplicate them afterward. In the first case, as I was falling off the broken bridge, I think I bounced past the blockers onto the hillside where I could walk around a bit before falling through. In the second case, I landed in Wolf Pool from the broken bridge and found a place underneath the bridge where I could jump past the blockers. The first case was probably a fluke, very hard to do again. The second will just take time and patience to do again. I gave up trying to re-find that second hole after about 1/2 hour of searching.
I'm linking a handful of new videos I took of the underworld. Sadly, they came out really dark though the originals probably look better (I'm guessing that the conversion/compression software I used probably reduces the number of colors, so dark original colors become even darker). Anyway, the colors will look much nicer when you visit the Age itself.
For exploring the underworld, my preference is to use the original Somewhere as the vistas are much more beautiful:

I think finding this exit into the reservoir from the other side (back when I first explored the original Somewhere and fell into the underworld) was why I'd thought the underworld was intended for us to discover and explore:

Just turn right and follow the tunnel exterior, then jump in:

I'm very happy to have found it again (thanks to Annabelle)!!
