Friends at the Table
Confrontations with Villains need not be catastrophic. Some hostile encounters, including those against enemy bosses, can be de-escalated through conversation or completed through clever use of Objective action. Parties specializing in tools of foresight can leverage their navigational upperhand to outmaneuver potentially deadly encounters all together. Some clashes—especially those with reality-shaking stakes—seem written into the fabric of Perpetua itself. But even these, despite the long odds, have many possible resolutions.

As the crew of the Little Snail and the Sourcerot investigators continue to delve the depths of the Castle Eschatonica, new voices are heard in the air. For those in the western half of the castle, the voices are brusque and severe, shaped to fit the prepared phrases necessary for a most hospitable war. But in the east, the voices lilt and shine, like dewy petals in a breeze. Is such a sound an invitation or something more nefarious… This week on perpetua: Escape the Rumbling Castle! 04 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.06] Some Feedback [Page 66 of 68] TheUnforgivenIII So uhhhh does anyone have...

For Semiotician Uklan Tel, the discovery of the object in the vaults of the New Archives was a gift he could scarcely have hoped for. The Holy City, walled and impenetrable, had fascinated him for so long. He'd pored over the Marieldan documents and artifacts that the Archives had collected over the years so many times that his name repeated in the access cards like a prayer . But here was something new - misfiled, overlooked - that had evaded his eye all this time. He was starting to take notes for a book. We could not be more excited to unveil the Marielda 10th Anniversary Vinyl Soundtrack...

As the northern edge of the Castle Eschatonica grows closer, the adventurers within begin to sense a change in the dungeon around them. While the Celestial Echoes that make up the hallways and rooms of the castle were once neatly separated, now it seems that the people and places from the various past Perpetuan worlds have begun to overlap and interact. In search of information, Brontë, Veile, Elena, and Caoimhe seek help from an otherworldly machine. Meanwhile, on the other side of the castle, a gang of otherworldly beings seeks help from the trio of Antistrophe, Jonathan, and Uncle...

In the depths of the Castle Eschatonica, the true beckonings called to the travelers of the Dragon Path. Led across the ether under divine shadow and holy light, to things that aren’t, but which might yet be: New more peaceful lives. Freedom from obligation and duty. Different, more adventurous histories. A key to a door which itself beckons. The power to protect those they care for. Power for power’s sake alone. With these behind them, the two groups re-emerge into the halls of the Castle. In the western wing, three figures push forward into the passageways of this transcendent...

At the highest point of the Castle Eschatonica, the crew of the Little Snail and Team ABC finally find some answers to their most desperate questions. And yet, many mysteries remain, perhaps most of all: How can they escape this castle and return to the paths from which they were pulled away? For that, the answer is simple: Walk on… and beware the True Beckonings.

Dungeon Maps [DNMP]
Cenn Tunnels Map [CTDM]
Honestly, even though there are a few spots where you can get into fights, it’s hard to call the Cenn Tunnels a dungeon. But because there’s a boss fight at the end, and secrets throughout, I decided to put the maps here. It’s important to remember that you can dig anywhere but only the spots I’ve marked here will lead to anything. Don’t waste your time digging into empty hollow areas!
Map

Map with Solution

S - Starting Point
Whenever you leave from here, all the enemies encounters down here will re-populate. So if you really wanna grind during this section of the game, this is probably the only place to do it.
1 - Wormking Nest
If you are desperate for XP, you can dig into this hollow in order to fight a wormking (it’s like a ratking but for worms). Each time you dig a new passage into this zone, another battle will start. Not worth the time in my opinion, but maybe it’s worth it if you’re right at the edge of a level!
2 - Buried Dig Site
An old dig site from before Castine’s Moon appeared a hundred years ago. There’s a few random valuables that you can find here. I got a golden shovel!
3 - Ore Vein
You can get some upgrade materials here. Especially useful if you’re trying to upgrade Antistrophe’s shields!
4 - Flegg Alcove
Three level-synched fleggs will spawn here as soon as you enter the tunnels at point S. If you take too long, they’ll start wandering around and can actually ambush you!
E - Exit
This is where you can start digging your way towards the Hexcloak Headquarter Basement. Make sure you’re all healed up and ready for a boss fight!
