It's also the easiest dungeon, designed to give players an introduction to the game's main mechanics. Many of the enemies here deal primarily physical damage and can easily be dealt with by heroes that have an advantage against the Unholy, like the Crusader. Here's what you need to know about the Ruins. Provisions are the items that you can take with you into a run. They can be the make or break of getting out alive. Holy Water - Holy Water is essential in the Ruins.Loads of the curios, like the Confession Booth, Decorative Urn, and the Holy Fountain, can only be interacted with if you packed enough Holy Water. Skeleton Keys - Also very valuable, as there are a few curious that can only be unlocked by using a Skeleton Key.īring at least three Holy Water for a short run, stacking up more if you're heading in for a longer expedition.Locked curios, like the Sarcophagus or Display Cabinet, can reward you with gold, heirlooms, and trinkets. Medicinal Herbs - These have a small use in the Ruins - cleansing the Iron Maiden and Alchemy Table.It isn't overly important to bring them with you.

Bandages or Antivenom - Even less important are the Bandages and Antivenom.Very few enemies will afflict your party with Bleed or Blight damage, and there are no curios that require either of these provisions. It's still worth taking some Bandages with you on every run, though, regardless of which dungeon you are tackling. While many of the monsters in the Ruins are not that dangerous, with few that deal stress damage or inflict other types of Damage Over Time effects, there are still monsters you should look out for. Bone Bearer - The Bone Bearer is an enemy that only spawns during Champion level runs through the Ruins, so you won't need to worry about this monster until a bit later into the game.Once you are at Champion level, though, the Bone Bearer almost singlehandedly transforms the easiest dungeon into one of the most frustrating. The Bone Bearer revives fallen allies, inflicts bleed damage, and can stun your heroes.
