We will bring you this Arx Fatalis Element of the week in collaboration with publisher Fishtank. In the past weeks we revealed some characters and spells of Arx Fatalis. This time we feature The Crypt.

The Crypt

The crypt area is the most eerie place in the world of Arx. Here the dead people of Arx take their eternal rest. It's a spooky place where you can hear strange sounds or see sinister shadows moving in the tombs and in the dark corridors. This place looks like a necropole with elements inspired by the gothic style. If you are afraid of ghosts, this burial ground will definitely give you the creeps. 

Besides the scary atmosphere, its also a very dangerous location. One false step and you can easily stumble into traps or activate them by accident. Of course, there are also dangerous creatures lurking in the dark. Hungry rats are the more harmless ones compared to the walking undead and mummies. The living dead are just waiting for intruders who will join their ranks. To make things even harder, these undead creatures are difficult to destroy. Once defeated, it seems that they won't stay dead for long. Maybe some kind of magic is useful against these walking corpses…
