The Ruins
The Ruins are a dangerous, largely mysterious location lying deep underneath the City.
Various Artifacts, Relics, and beasts can be found within them.
Overview
The Ruins lie underneath the City,[1] and are implied to be accessible from anywhere so long as one travels deep enough.[2] Specifically, they are known to be the deepest part of the City,[1] comparable to an abyss.[3][4] The location is described as having a unique atmosphere, adorned with various Rivers capable of granting blessings and curses to those who interact with the waters.[5] Like the Outskirts, it is home to unique and surreal creatures that are not usually found in the City.[6][7] It is considered a dangerous place even for the experienced, comparable to a Star of the City in terms of danger.[8] However, exploration of the Ruins is not unheard of. "Clearing through the Ruins" is known to be done by certain factions like R Corp., while others like the Dieci Association use them as sites of education, and the Zwei as areas for expedition.
The Ruins are known to house miscellaneous Artifacts that are powerful enough to fare well against beings like Abnormalities.[9] This is in addition to Relics, which are known to be kept and treasured by the Dieci Association. Their "Holy" Relics, for example, take the form of more powerful versions of the keys and stoles its members wield.[10] In Library of Ruina, Roland also states that something which could be considered magic exists in the Ruins.[11] Additionally, during her journey within the Ruins with Sancho, Bari states that "they" are observing the two of them, alluding to something lurking in the depths.[5] This may relate to Sansón's claim that the Ruins are "inhabited only by the floating nebulae",[1] given that Limbus Company occasionally characterizes stars as lifeforms of their own.
As a popular point of comparison, the Ruins are often brought up in conjunction with the Outskirts, given that both of them are dangerous points of interest lying outside of the City. However, there is not actually anything evidencing that the Ruins lie within or outside of the Outskirts.[12]
Furthermore, it is implied that there are individual Ruins, pointing to "the Ruins" as more of an overarching term than a reference to one specific location.[13][2]
Ruins Locations
The Abandoned Lighthouse
An empty lighthouse that Don Quixote lived in for 200 years following Sancho's decision to erase her memory. It lies near the River of Lethe, and is described as "the Cradle" in its Profile Decoration depiction. Bari stopped at it many times over the course of her journeys in order to leave behind items and write letters to Don Quixote.
Although Bari deemed it unlikely that anyone would find Sancho within the lighthouse, it was ultimately visited by Vergilius in order to recruit her as Limbus Company's third Sinner.
Rivers
There are a multitude of potentially life-altering Rivers winding within the Ruins.
