Concrete Jungle

Important stratum themes:
Soundtrack:
  • City Rubble Rumble
  • Navigating the Dark City
Levels:

The Concrete Jungle is a region. Regions categorize levels with similar characteristics that have been incorporated into the Clockworks.

Description

This long forgotten city was reclaimed by nature and then by the legions of the undead. Now it is a vile nest of malady, home to all manners of toxic monsters, living and otherwise. — Gate Icons

Characteristics

Each level map is fixed.

When accessible via the arcade, they are found in a rotation of 1-2 levels in the depth they occupy depending on the level. Rotation time seems to always be 3 minutes or less:

  • Blight Boulevard levels are always found in a rotation of 2 with each other.
  • Totem Trouble levels are always found in a rotation of 2 with each other.
  • Briar Bone Barrage is exclusive to Tier 3 and is always the only level in the depth it occupies.

Compared to other regions, Concrete Jungle levels are a rare sight in arcade gates, with Briar Bone Barrage possibly being the rarest level in the arcade because the stratum combinations necessary for these levels do not often occur with enough room for the levels to generate in a cluster down through Tier 3 depths, which seems necessary for Briar Bone Barrage to appear.

Levels are populated by multitudes of Drouls and a few Slimes. Briar Bone Barrage is the only place the Toxilargo monster can be encountered.

The background is a view of the Clockworks through a haze of noxious fumes.

Similar urban terrain can be seen in the Dark City and Devilish Drudgery.

Notes

The ZombieExploration-Monstrous Codex-ComLink.pngMonstrous Codex only appears in the 8-2 Interface-icon-PvE.png Mission: The Rotting Metropolis, not the arcade.
