← All areas in this guide

The Abandoned Dungeon is an underground complex below Ashina Castle filled with decaying inmates, crickets, and sinister medical experiments. You explore flooded tunnels and subterranean caves to find an elevator connecting toward Senpou Temple or venture through the Bottomless Hole to reach the depths. Along the way, you can investigate surgeon Doujun's requests, avoid or eliminate rotting test subjects, and clear the apparitions lurking in the dark pits.
