DOA Recording Studios (meaning Dead On Arrival) is one of the main entrances to the Underworld. It is located in Los Angeles, California.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians[]

The Lightning Thief[]

Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood used this entrance to enter the Underworld to confront Hades.

Appearance[]

The doors in the lobby say: NO SOLICITORS. NO LOITERING. NO LIVING. Inside the lobby, muzak music plays and the carpet and walls are steel gray. There is black leather furniture and an elevator. Charon is on a raised podium inside the studio.

Charon's Boat[]

When someone dies, they will be taken into an elevator going down via Charon (if he allows them), then they sail across the River Styx.

Trivia[]

  • The original entrance to the Underworld was the Cave of Avernus.
  • DOA means "Dead On Arrival," which most people are when they arrive there.
  • Adults must pay a fee for the trip on Charon's boat (usually charged to their last cable bill or with American Express).
  • People who cannot pay stay in the lobby hoping for a free trip or until Charon's discretion to them changes. Many have stayed for a couple of hundreds of years, while some have only been there for a few days, and some might even still be waiting after thousands of years; most of these are children.
  • When Percy, Annabeth and Grover come to DOA, they claim they died in a bathtub. This may be a reference to Agamemnon, who was killed by his wife in a bathtub.
