El Aleph
Antigua
A religious city in Guatemala filled with Baroque buildings and churches built in the colonial era when conquistadors invaded the area in the 1520s. They celebrate Semana Santa before Easter in early spring. They have a brass band and parade of statues of Jesus and Mary placed on floats traveling down the streets. The parade is led by worshipers dressed in ceremonial clothing, waving censers filled with burning incense. During the parade, the roads are decorated with alfombras made of colored sawdust, vegetables, flowers, and leaves; creating them is a cherished tradition. Around November 1972, J.D. Hernández and other Speedwagon Foundation investigators are dispatched to Antigua to research the crime scenes of the serial killer Fabio Ubuh and interview the locals. Antigua is the birthplace of Octavio Luna Kan and Joaquín Ruiz-Jorruda.
Convento Santa Clara
The remains of a large religious complex in Antigua. At night on April 20, 1973, J.D. Hernández passes by here when meeting up with Octavio and Joaquín.

He steps outside and is confronted by Fabio Ubuh, who attacks the priest with El Señor de las Moscas.
The stone walls of the church have a tapestry depicting the words of a hymn.
Ancha de los Herreros
A street in Antigua that leads to the Cerro de la Cruz. A souvenir vendor calls J.D. Hernández over to tell him about the suspicious man they saw crouching over an unconscious nun, who then ran away when the vendor screamed.
Cerro de la Cruz
Known as the "Hill of the Cross", this is where Fabio Ubuh first begins hating the Christian symbols filling Guatemala after he flees from Chichicastenango to Antigua.[2] This hill is also near Octavio Luna Kan's orphanage. He sneaks out to the hill one night, playing with a soccer ball by himself. Suddenly, his Stand awakens from his loneliness, creating Joaquín Ruiz-Jorruda to be his goalkeeper.[3][4]
Convento de La Merced
A convent for La Merced Church. J.D. Hernández goes to the atrium and orders the nuns to go back to their rooms while he searches for Fabio. Fabio destroys a pillar decorated with a wooden carving of the archangel Gabriel, which Hernández hears and finds it on the ground. Beyond it is a stone staircase leading underground, with its hatch hinges broken. Appearing to be a secret passage, the silence and darkness makes Hernández feel as if he is descending into Hell. Fabio shoots Hernández's lantern, but Joaquín arrives and manages to guide him outside safely.
Catedral San José
The underground passage at Convento de La Merced leads Hernández and Joaquín to the plaza of Catedral San José. Octavio wrestles with Fabio here, but Fabio attacks him with his Stand. The Semana Santa parade reaches its end at the same moment, as they bring over the largest statue of Jesus depicting him carrying the cross to the hill of Golgotha over to the cathedral. The cathedral is illuminated, with holy banners unfurled from the windows in celebration.
A large crowd gathers around, leading to chaos when Fabio's flies attack them and destroy the cross on the Jesus statue. Lisa Lisa stops Fabio's onslaught by using her Thousand-Color Overdrive Ripple technique to block the flies and then incapacitates Fabio.

Guatemala Speedwagon Foundation Base
The Speedwagon Foundation converted a large ruin in the city of Guatemala into a branch for the Foundation. It is fully equipped for medical treatment and facilities to examine confiscated evidence. They have maps pinned to a wall covered with notes, as well as stacks of documents. In the room used for interrogations, there is a device that Octavio and Joaquín had never seen before, which they presume is either a lie detector or electric chair. There is also a briefing room where Lisa Lisa discusses announcements and information to the other investigators.[5]
The Speedwagon Foundation's base offers far better resources, quality of care, and surgeries than any normal hospital. Octavio and Joaquín are treated here for their injuries after fighting Fabio. Izahela Mena-Mena is also treated here and questioned by Lisa Lisa after their battle with her.
Lisa Lisa's Lodging
An inn where Lisa Lisa resides in Guatemala while waiting for Octavio and Joaquín to fulfill the first mission she assigns them.
Guatemala Settlement
A village in the northeastern forest of Guatemala City. Camouflaged by the forest, this village is a base for guerrilla fighters fallen from the nearby People's Army, having driven out the original inhabitants. The smugglers living here not only arranged illegal crossings, but also profited from drug cultivation, theft, and kidnapping. At the center of the village, there is a circular plaza with makeshift houses in a cross formation, surrounded by trees. These homes have corrugated tin roofs or stone piled to form shelters, with walls crumbling and foundations collapsing. In one corner of the plaza, there is a large water tank that is rusting and blackened. The plants are withered, and there are also hand-woven hammocks hanging from trees.
Izahela Mena-Mena and other children are kidnapped by Fernando Alhorn's men and work in this village as servants for them. Izahela uses her Stand Hopscotch on the Speedwagon Foundation until Octavio finds her hiding inside the water tank.
Peru Earthquake-Affected Region
A magnitude 8.1 earthquake struck Peru in 1966, which caused significant geological changes in the mountainous region. Workers from a research institute conducted geological surveys in an area about 40 kilometers east of Pucallpa, connected by highway to Lima. However, they suddenly developed an illness from the Stand virus, which they got from some mineral that was exposed on the surface during the geological survey.
El Oro
A province in Ecuador across the Zarumilla River. It was invaded by the Agrupamiento del Norte's 33rd infantry brigade during the Ecuadorian-Peruvian border conflict. Fernando Alhorn was part of the Peruvian army during the battle and witnessed his comrades dying in gruesome ways, such as being infested with maggots or struck by malaria and typhus.
Santa Rosa
A port town north of Lima, Peru that is named after a saint. It is the hometown of Dos Santos.
Dos Santos's House
The house of Dos Santos and his family is in a middle-class residential neighborhood in Santa Rosa, Peru. There is a bedroom with large windows, providing a view of the Pacific Ocean. Alhorn is invited into the home, but kills Dos Santos's father, mother, sister, and brother-in-law. Alhorn stays there for about three days after, drinking alcohol and eating pickles. When Dos Santos arrives, he notices the bedroom is unventilated, filled with dust, and has a unique odor. The living room is cluttered with furniture, glass shards, and items fallen from shelves, such as a framed photo of Dos Santos with his family members.
Octavio's Orphanage
An orphanage connected to a church in Antigua which is near the Cerro de la Cruz. Octavio Luna Kan is brought here after losing his mother and older brother from a car accident. Whenever the lights went out at nighttime, Octavio would be afraid, fearing the darkness. The orphanage has patterned wooden ceilings. Aside from the bedroom, there is a dining hall and common room. After being created by Octavio's Stand, Joaquín Ruiz-Jorruda joins the orphanage as well. The two of them are later thrown out of the orphanage after refusing to join the seminary.
San Juan de Lurigancho
San Juan de Lurigancho is a barrio and slum on the east side of Lima, Peru. There are shacks built by squatters crowded together on terraced slopes, with narrow stairs and paths between them. There are houses made from concrete and brick, and shacks made from scrap wood lining the narrow alleys where pipes and stolen electricity cables intertwine, strings for drying laundry stretch across, and nets for garbage disposal are set up. Paintings of saints adorn the walls, small shrines for Mary are set up by the roadside, and there are faded trees that were seemingly never touched by rain. There are swarms of flies, damp and mushy roads due to constant leaks, and many steps that are almost crumbling.
It is a poor, undeveloped area on the outskirts of the capital. The air is polluted and filled with smoke. One can hear the echoes of various voices and unending noise, such as insects buzzing, rats fighting over scraps, and the sound of minerals being crushed. There is also the smell of datura. Octavio and Joaquín are ordered to investigate the area to discover where Alhorn's hideout is. They disguise as peddlers and collect scrap around the slums in order to sell them. Octavio hates the area, but Joaquín likes it.[3]
Behind a cluster of houses, there is an abandoned green area that serves as a feeding ground for stray cats. At a park, Octavio is ambushed by several thugs, but he manages to beat them all.[6]
Lima Speedwagon Foundation Base
The Speedwagon Foundation repurposes an abandoned house in Lima, Peru as a base for investigators and researchers. It is filled with documents, medical equipment, and testing devices. J.D. Hernández, Welmer Domingo, Aki Marcela de la Vega, and Lisa Lisa do their briefings here.[3] It is also where they treat Pisco, Octavio, Joaquín, Sasha Loggins, and the other hostages of Alhorn that they saved.[7]
Alhorn's Citadel
At the summit of San Juan de Lurigancho, there is a giant building about twenty stories high which Fernando Alhorn transformed into his hideout. It's so large that Octavio could not grasp the entire structure of the building even up close. The place is hidden in steep hills in such a way that it could not be seen from the foothills on the Lima side. It is built along the cliff edge, with exposed ducts and frameworks, patched-up renovations, and repeated extensions connected by bridges. The fortress is divided into two large wings, north and south. Outside the fortress, there are armed men who look like mercenaries standing guard and patrolling.[8] The building's exterior is also protected by the Stand Écue-Yamba-Ó, which functions as a security system to throw off intruders who touch the outside walls.[9]
The interior of the building is like an abandoned factory, with walls of exposed ducts and a floor of iron grating. There are numerous stairs and one can easily get lost. Mercury lamps hang from the high ceiling, flickering bluish-white light.
Alhorn's room is in the north wing. The corridor toward it is beautifully decorated, filled with relief sculptures and display cases. Alhorn's room is painted in various shades of red and black, with a long, narrow table like one for a banquet, and a plush sofa. The table has a spherical lampshade. The walls and ceiling have exposed ducts and pipes, and the floor is bare concrete. The air is filled with the scent of overripe fruit, the smell of iron, and gunpowder. At the far end of the hall are thick, semi-transparent curtains layered over one another, obscuring the view behind them. Beyond the curtains, there's a torture room that resembles a stone chamber.
The citadel has a cell-like room coated with concrete and a door with iron bars, functioning as a prison. The room is illuminated by a gas lamp light filtering through the barred window. Outside of the prison room and past the hallway, there is a laundry room.[8] There is another prison area in the south wing, which holds all of the victims and hostages struck by Alhorn's Bow and Arrow.[9] Octavio also finds a kitchen and fiddles with the gas valve to start a fire.[10] The citadel eventually burns down due to the explosions and Alhorn flees.[11]
Amazon Rainforest
The Amazon Rainforest is where Octavio Luna Kan and Joaquín Ruiz-Jorruda eventually settle on living. The ability of El Aleph causes the forest to be eternally in the night. The green canopy, lush trees, and the ground are all invaded by the color of darkness, losing their original hues. About 1500 kilometers east of the border between Peru and Brazil, there is a fortified settlement where the Selva Cartel lives and operates. It boasts large-scale farms and mines, surrounded by bamboo and timber on varied terrain, equipped with water towers and power facilities. For years around the commune, the average temperature in the jungle never exceeds 25 degrees Celsius, and at worst, frost would form on the ground. The vegetation drastically changes too, with only shade-tolerant trees thriving in the dark environment.[12] Since the logic of daylight no longer applies, the plants devour each other, wrangle, and crossbreed. Atmospheric water vapor becomes saturated, creating a thick layer acting like a lid, suppressing the release of energy out of the Earth.[13]
In the center of the commune, there are glass buildings which are huge greenhouses lined up in rows emitting ultraviolet light. Around the greenhouses, there are stilt houses, gardens, workshops, meeting places, and water towers. The workers cultivate coca leaves here which they make into coca paste and then sell for their livelihood. If there's an unwelcome presence, the birds and wildfowl will fly out of the trees, the leaves will rustle, the caimans by the river will raise their heads, and the howler monkeys' dreams will be disturbed. These natural traps allow the Selva Cartel members to detect invaders to their commune. The settlement becomes known as a "No One Zone", as intruders are brutally killed by the Selva Cartel's Stands.[12]
Guardia Civil Soldiers attempt to raid the commune but they are all killed by the Selva Cartel. The Speedwagon Foundation goes there afterward, with Lisa Lisa successfully stopping Octavio. As The House of Earth defeats El Aleph, the eternal night ends with an aurora. The commune is once again apprehended by the Guardia Civil under the newly returned sunlight. The massive coca production sites are shut down, leading to the scattered fates of the gathered residents, farmers, and bodyguards.[14]
Alhorn's Factory
A pseudo-Gothic grand mansion in the lower part of Salvador, Brazil, which Fernando Alhorn turns into his hideout as a disguise for his secret factory.[15] The basement of the mansion is a factory where Alhorn manufactures firearms for guerrillas. Alhorn fights Octavio and Joaquín here, transforming various parts of the interior into a labyrinth with El Corazón de las Tinieblas to try trapping Joaquín. However, he is defeated by El Aleph and the eldritch creatures rampage throughout the building, destroying walls, furniture, and chandeliers.[16]
Sasha Loggins eventually finds the mansion in 1986 after Alhorn disappeared, but it is decaying. It has a large garden and a fountain, but they are untended and overrun with weeds. The main house is draped in ivy, but partially collapsed. The remaining parts of the house has graffiti of mice and ducks that look like they were done by rejected Disney Studio artists. The door is made of oak and there are cracked decorative windows. The interior's decay is even worse than its exterior, with debris and rubble piled up, blocking passageways. Furniture is overturned, the walls and ceilings are eaten away by ivy, and there are rats, mites, and mold.[15]
Down a winding corridor, there is broken stained glass in the high window, and frescoes using plaster and pigments on the left and right walls. For over fifteen meters, there is a continuous theme on the frescoes depicting gruesome punishments, such as burning at the stake, beheading, crucifixion, whipping, and impalement. There is a painting of saints kneeling and praying under a dark knight sky with the opening of Genesis chapter 1 from the Bible written on it. However, "No había luz!" is written in blood on top of it.
In the library, the furniture and fireplace are also in ruins. However, the bookshelves have a secret door mechanism leading to the basement that activates by pulling out a book from a box. In the high-ceilinged basement, there is something resembling a power source for machinery, with exposed ducts and conveyor belt-like equipment. The vast space is divided by iron walls, with scaffolding built along the walls. The basement has even more destruction than the upper floors, being the main area of the battle between Alhorn and Octavio.[15]
Lake Titicaca
Lake Titicaca spans the territories of Peru and Bolivia. It is the highest freshwater lake in the world, being over 3,800 meters above sea level. It has large and small islands, and man-made floating islands. Lisa Lisa and her group travel by boat from the lakeshore pier to the Uru people living on the floating islands. The lake water is warmed by absorbing heat during the day and covers the ground with warm vapor, making it suitable for agriculture. On the islands in the lake, potatoes and quinoa are cultivated, and cattle and pigs are raised.
The Uru people's communal dwellings total around a hundred in size and variety. The floating islands are made by mixing a reed-like plant called totora with soil from the lakebed to form buoyant blocks, lighter than water, and then piling more totora on top. The bottom totora gradually decomposes and flows into the lake, sinking the island, so it constantly needs replenishment. If maintained well, these islands can last up to thirty years. Some islands house about five families together, while others are small enough for just one family.
Everything on the island is made from totora, including houses, churches, guest houses, beds, boats, and hats. In addition, it is edible, and can also be used as compost for farming. If a family grows, they add more totora to expand their island. They can also detach a section and attach it to another island. If there are lazy non-workers, their totora is divided with a saw, and they'll be exiled along with their whole family.
Pisco's Island
Pisco lives on a single-person remote island on Lake Titicaca after isolating himself from his family. It's about a kilometer in size, only surrounded by water. It feels cramped, more like a wide boat rather than an island. Aside from a house, the island only has bundles of totora for living materials and small fragments scattered like ore shavings. The door to the house is on the opposite side, so visitors who travel there by boat through the normal route would have to turn their boat around to reach it.
Rio Branco
Marañón River
Octavio and Joaquín temporarily stay with a dying tribe in a fan-shaped area of volcanic deposits downstream of the Marañón River.
Octavio's Temple
After becoming the leader of the Selva Cartel, Octavio Luna Kan lives in a temple in the innermost part of the commune at the Amazon Rainforest. It isn't as grand as the ruins of the Maya or Inca, and it isn't clear from which time period it's from. It's surrounded by towering palm trees. The stone tower gate is made from ore extracted in the commune, with bas-reliefs of animals and demigods carved into the walls.
There are torches in the corridor, but it's still dark inside due to the night caused by El Aleph. Octavio stays in a room deep within the temple. It isn't as grand as a royal chamber, but isn't a small room either. There are dozens of torches in his room set in wall brackets and shelves. Octavio sleeps on a pair of combined long benches, which also has meal trays, ashtrays, and books piled on top.[17]
Octavio eventually destroys the temple by summoning El Aleph's creatures. Half of the temple's rooftop overlooking the forest and commune remains intact, which becomes the final battleground of Lisa Lisa, The House of Earth, Octavio, and Joaquín. The eldritch creatures from El Aleph form a dense mass below them, causing their foothold to rise higher like a floating arena in the sky.[4]
