Revision as of 13:24, 23 May 2021

After the Night of the Bloody Riots, the guards decided to condemn a whole wing of the prison so they could dump the bodies in there.
A thick layer of ashes covered the walls of the place. Filth crept into every nook and cranny.
One of the worst places on the island... Or one of the safest, depending on who you ask.

Ossuary flag

The Ossuary is a third level biome.

Prior to the Malaise infection, Ossuary was just a normal wing of the prison. However, after an event known as "Night of the Bloody Riots" in which many are killed, the section was dedicated to function as a refuse dump for all the corpses and set ablaze.

General information

Access and exit

The Ossuary can be accessed from the Promenade of the Condemned, which requires the Teleportation Rune IconTeleportation Rune, or through the Prison Depths, which requires the Spider Rune IconSpider Rune.

The only exit out of the Ossuary leads to the Black Bridge, where the Concierge awaits.

Ram rune

A Slasher elite can be found here who drops the Ram rune. It disappears after being defeated once.

Level characteristics

Scrolls

The Ossuary contains 4 scrolls, including 2 Power Scrolls and 2 Dual-stat scrolls, which cannot spawn in areas requiring the Teleport, Ram or Spider runes. On (2+ BSC) there is a bonus Power scroll. When 3 BSC are active, this biome has 2 guaranteed Scroll Fragments, and when 4/5 BSC are active, this biome has 3 guaranteed Scroll Fragments.

Enemy tier and gear level scaling

In the table below, you will find the gear level and enemy tier of the Ossuary based on difficulty.

Difficulty Normal Hard Very Hard Expert Nightmare/Hell

Exclusive blueprints

The blueprint for the Marksman's Bow IconMarksman's Bow is found behind the 8 minute timed door located in the Collector transition area before the Ossuary (only found when entering from the Promenade). The blueprint for the mutation Extended Healing Mutation IconExtended Healing can be found in a secret area within the level.

The blueprint for the melee weapon Torch IconTorch is looted from Spawners, which are found almost exclusively in this biome (The Derelict Distillery also contains Spawners as of v2.0). The Ossuary is also the only place where one can get the Cloud Outfit, which drops from Shockers with 3+ BSC active.

Enemies

Shockers, Thornies and Spawners are iconic enemies of this level, along with Slashers and Lacerators. On higher difficulties, the Zombies are replaced by Dark Trackers, Bombers and Failed Experiments.

In the table below, you will find which enemies are present in the Ossuary depending on difficulty level. For each enemy, any common, uncommon, rare or legendary blueprints they carry are indicated. When applicable, the minimum difficulty level for blueprint acquisition is specified in brackets.

Lore

In a quote from the Prisoners' Quarters loading screen, it was implied that Ossuary's fire produced extreme amounts of fumes and some prisoners were killed by suffocation.

The lucky prisoners had a window in their cells... They ended up choking on the ashes from the Ossuary.

Alchemist grimoires

Main article: The Alchemist

In the Ossuary, The beheaded finds a pile of corpses that are melted from being burned:

  • "Hard to say whether these bodies were infected."
  • "But one thing is for sure, their sin melted like old cheese in the sun."

the Alchemist was applying the substance found in the walls of the Slumbering Sanctuary on bones from corpses, likely executed prisoners.[1]The substance's effects were unpredictable and the Alchemist reflects whether his experiments are worth killing so many people:

  • "The sanctuary produces unpredictable effects on the bones i've collected here"
  • "All these bodies... All these lives."
  • "At the the end of the day, perhaps the king is right?"

Soldiers

A note from a soldier to his colleagues informs how burning the dead infected isn't working, as they're pilling up endlessly and getting back up, also managing to wield weapons:

  • "A message left in the storeroom."
  • "What? Soldiers leaving little notes for each other?"
  • "The bodies are piling up endlessly. Burning them is no longer good enough!"
  • "...Some get back up, and others even manage to get their hands on weapons!"
  • "We have to leave this island while we still can!"

A bag containing another note from a soldier can be found, he writes how the king's methods aren't getting them anywhere, and he's spoken to the alchemist. The letter abruptly cuts off:

  • "A bag containing various items of no interest..."
  • "..."
  • "Hm, there's a letter folded up at the bottom."
  • "I realize the risk i'm taking by writing this letter."
  • "The king's methods are getting us nowhere and the situation is deteriorating."
  • "We have to switch a more peaceful method immediately! I've spoken with the alchem..."
  • "The letter ends abruptly"

To the right or left of the bag is a secret passage that leads to a hidden alchemy station:

  • "Hmm, this guard thought it was a good idea to install a secret desk."
  • "If the guards started conducting strange experiments too, it's no wonder they ended up with monsters everywhere!"
