Central Station

Central Station, or Deepsea Metro Central Station as it is commonly referred to as, is the primary hub of the Deepsea Metro and starting point of the Octo Expansion.

Gameplay
After completing the tutorial Abandoned Station, Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish find themselves at the Central Station. No weapons are allowed in the area. Initially, the only things of note in this station are the metro train itself, which can be boarded in order to access any other station, and the Telephone, who acts as the primary catalyst of the Octo Expansion, granting Agent 8 a CQ Card and CQ-80 device after giving them their objective. After collecting any of the thangs, Agent 8 returns to Central Station with the thang. After collecting all four thangs, interacting with the Telephone triggers the escape sequence.

Postgame
After completing the Octo Expansion, Agent 8 can return to Central Station and go to the remains of the blender in order to replay the final act of the game or to watch the credits, which are known as "Remember the fight" and "Remember the light" respectively.

Additionally, after completing the Octo Expansion, a vending machine starts functioning which accepts either CQ Points or mem medals. The vending machine randomly gives out items, including Crust Bucket Tickets, Cash, and ability chunks in varying quantities. When exchanging mem medals, it may also reward more CQ Points.

Secret boss: Inner Agent 3
Upon completing all of the test chambers and collecting all of the full mem cakes, Agent 8's final memory is unlocked. On the map, the Central Station pulsates, indicating that Inner Agent 3 is unlocked, and a message appears when it is first unlocked saying that a door opened somewhere. Locker number eight on the station's platform opens and interacting with it triggers a battle with their "Inner Agent 3". This acts as a secret boss in the Octo Expansion. Beating this boss rewards players with the Golden Toothpick gear piece.

 * Cap'n Cuttlefish: I should wait here until Agent 3 wakes up. No squids left behind! You go on ahead.

Trivia

 * In a screenshot released shortly after the announcement of the Octo Expansion, this station was shown on the Deepsea Metro map. At that time, the translation was not yet finalized, and the station's subtitle was "Promised land here we come!"
 * For virtually no reason, all the tracks leading into the tunnels are broken, dropping off into a pit. This includes the track which the Deepsea Metro enters and exits, making it exceptionally odd.
