The Catacombs as seen from Regent Valley
The Catacombs is a large network of tombs in pre-Searing Ascalon. They connect to several places in the kingdom of Ascalon, and have been used as a way of transportation. The catacombs are infested with Undead spirits, making them dangerous to venture into. Poisonous Swamp Water is also found in certain areas of the catacombs.
Adventurers who do brave the poisonous water and the swarms of undead are treated to beautiful murals depicting the Gods of Tyria.

[edit] Notes
- These quests will affect the spawns in this area:
- Collector Karleen has the upgrade Krytan armor foot gear for all professions in pre-searing.
- Under the bridge near Karleen, near the exit to Green Hills County, there is a big skeleton that seems to be the one of a dragon.
- The catacombs are a great place for Smiting Monks to quickly gain skill levels - luring all of the creatures into one small area before unleashing Symbol of Wrath is particularly effective. A recommended route to gain XP is on the map to the right.
- While navigating the passageway towards Oberan the Reviled (usually during the quest Charr in the Catacombs), if you have the Bonus Pack Fire Imp active, it can get caught trying to attack the monsters in the other passageway. The two ways to avoid this is to stick to the right hand side of the passageway you are in, or go down the other passageway before-hand and clear them out first.
