Lifewater Oasis is a level in Keen 4, located in the far reaches of the Shadowlands desert.
It consists of a lush zone with tropical trees and tunnels filled with Raindrops. Below the tunnels there is an underground pool (which might be made of the same life-giving water as the Raindrops), containing many Lifewater Flasks. The oasis also has a small mound, which contains the way to the trapped Council Member in this level.
The lower tunnel of the level is a secret area, reachable from a hidden passage on the first ledge after Keen first drops down. A switch can be used to activate a platform that will take Keen back to the main tunnels through another hidden passage. The lower, Lifewater filled area can't be reached, however, though it seems it wasn't originally planned that way. [1]
The level is quite simple, requiring only to go through the first tunnel, and then back up climbing some floating platforms to reach the top of the mound. Once there, Keen can go down and into the stone door to the Council Member cave. In that area, Keen has to jump over some falling platforms, and go down to get the green gem for the door trapping the Member. After that, Keen has to activate a moving platform to reach the door, and jump over other falling platforms to get to the Gnosticene.
The last area is special in that it contains a chasm that seems to lead nowhere. However, there is actually floor that can't be seen below, as well as some Jawbreakers and even a hidden Mimrock.
The level is populated mainly by Poison Slugs. There are also a couple of Wormouths, Mimrocks and a Thundercloud.
