The Catacombs is a location in Dragon's Dogma.
Description
An ancient burial chamber of considerable size. Home to the Undead of all kinds and the meeting place of Salvation.

Two other entrances to the Catacombs exist, but are initially blocked - these are under the large bridge over the river near Gran Soren, and an entrance close to one of the broken former fortifications in the Estan Plains outside Gran Soren.
Inhabitants include many Undead including warriors and the stout kind, phantoms, Skeletons including Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Mages, and a solitary Ogre
