Previous Area: Town Center East
Next Area: Temple of Kiltia via Limestone Quarry (Aster Sigil is required to open Limestone Quarry main door, Eulelia Sigil opens Sinner's Sustenance, and Melissa Sigil opens Torture Without End)
Teleportation obtained; Melissa, Eulelia and Aster Sigils. Wine Cellar rooms The Gallows and Room of Rotten Grapes are changed.

Eastern Undercity is in two parts. Enter from Town Center East, circle counterclockwise down and up to an exit in City Walls North. Enter the second, Northeast part from the other end of City Walls North, and complete the circle north and west to a dead end.

After the dead end is reached in Catspaw Blackmarket, Ashley receives the Aster Sigil needed to proceed in Limestone Quarry, but Triggers also have committed him to a fight with Crimson Blade Commanders. Once Ashley attempts to exit via The Greengrocer's Stair, the cutscenes show Ashley running to Where Black Waters Ran, and the player takes control of Ashley in combat there.

Taking the Aster Sigil from the chest in Catspaw Blackmarket is also the first trigger of a condition that removes Blood Lizards with valuable Voulges and DAMASCUS armor from a City Walls North room, and puts the Phantom Dummy in their place. See City Walls North and Combinations tips articles.

Northeast Side[]

Aster Sigil See Lede or Catspaw Blackmarket section

The Greengrocer's Stair[]

Entered from / Exit to A Welcome Invasion in City Walls North

Cutscene leading to battle with Neesa and Tieger (in Where Black Waters Ran) begins here, after a Trigger: Ashley opens the chest in Catspaw Blackmarket and gets the Aster Sigil.

No enemies.
Opening the Chest in Catspaw Blackmarket is the first part of a condition. Until the chest is opened, travelling here will do nothing; once it is opened, travelling here will trigger the second part of the condition.


Where Black Waters Ran[]

  1. Trigger: Ashley enters The Greengrocer's Stair: Two Quicksilvers and a Lich despawn.
  2. Trigger : Ashley defeats Neesa and Tieger. A second set of two Quicksilvers and a Lich begin spawning.

Obligatory battle triggered once both the Catspaw and Greengrocer's conditions are satisfied: Two Crimson Blade commanders.
Before the trigger: Two Quicksilvers and a Lich. After the battle: Also two Quicksilvers and a Lich, except one of the Quicksilvers has a Khukuri instead of a Hatchet.

  • Ashley need only and can only defeat either Neesa or Tieger. Players with sufficiently lowered expectations and/or a firm grasp on Irony would grasp immediately the probability that only being able to loot one could only lead to neither of them ever dropping any loot, to avoid, one would suppose, disappointment? And they would be right. On the brighter side, there is no need to determine which of them is the greatest offensive threat (other than for choosing attacks that debilitate), but instead, which can be killed easiest.

Catspaw Blackmarket[]

  • Traps: Diabolos, Trap Clear
  • Chest: HAGANE Round Shield + Dark Queen, Grimoire Paralysie, Aster Sigil

Taking the Aster Sigil from the chest in Catspaw Blackmarket will inevitably trigger a condition that sends Ashley to a preset location to fight Crimson Blade Commanders, removes Blood Lizards with valuable Damascus armor from a Walls North room, and puts the Phantom Training Dummy in their place, and adds an Affinity Dummy to the Worker's Breakroom in the Wine Cellar. See City Walls North and Combinations tips articles. Inevitably, because there is no other way out of the North Side other than the Greengrocer's Stair, which is the final trigger.
