Crescent Keep

Crescent Keep is an Open Field Zone in ATLYSS. A large, sprawling fortress. It has stood long since abandoned in the post-Shattering world; the previous inhabitants being driven out—or worse—by Golems turned traitor. With arches, bridges, gates, platforming, and monster galore, the Keep is not an area for the faint of heart, nor the poorly equipped. Those seeking glory however, may challenge the Keep, and after being deemed worthy, delve further into the Grove beyond...

About

The final chamber of the Keep, and the Beam Statue within.

A Waypoint Beacon stands off to the north immediately upon entering the Keep's grounds. Continuing north leads to the Gate of the Moon, while level 2 and 3 mining nodes lie off to the south. Continuing west leads directly into the Keep.

Crescent Keep stands as the first open air dungeon the player will encounter. Navigating the Keep will require some minor platforming skill, as well as the strength to clear multiple rooms of Creeps, each holding multiple waves of said hostiles within.

The player is able to first access the Keep after beginning The Keep Within, a Level 10 quest from Angela. Starting the quest unlocks access to the pre-requisite "lead-in" area, Crescent Road—and completion of the quest is necessary to access the Zone's Dungeon, the Crescent Grove.

Navigation of the Keep requires plenty of vertical movement, with platforming and stairs between near every chamber of the structure. In addition, the battle chambers can get quite small compared to that of other Zones.

Connections

Items

The Keep, acting as a sort of mini-dungeon, has multiple battles throughout its intended progression path; each one with a minimum of a one chest reward. There are no breakable pots, nor traders, however.
