Ramparts

== General information ==
=== Access and exit ===
The Ramparts can be accessed from the Promenade of the Condemned, Toxic Sewers, or the Dilapidated Arboretum. In the case of the first two, the is required. When playing with 1 or more BSC active, a door in the Corrupted Prison can also lead to this biome, which itself requires having the .
There are two exits out of the Ramparts. The main exit leads to the Black Bridge where the Concierge awaits. This exit can spawn either at the bottom of any underground tower section, or in a specific tower located at the far right end of the level. A hint on the surface of the Ramparts indicates which of these options has been generated: the presence of a wooden platform, indicates that the exit is in an underground section to the right, but not at the far end of the level. Conversely, the absence of this structure guarantees that the exit is located at the far right.
With at least 3 BSC active, a door which leads to the Insufferable Crypt can be accessed, where Conjunctivius awaits. Additionally, this door can spawn behind rune-locked areas.

== Exclusive blueprints ==

The blueprints for the and bow are found in secret areas located at the far right end of the Ramparts. The structures that hold these blueprints are not guaranteed to spawn, therefore it may require a number of runs to get them.

== Lore ==
=== Alchemist grimoires ===
The Alchemist grimoire in this area reads:
* "All the species found in these areas seem changed."
* "Was it insects that spread the Malaise all over the island?"
The Beheaded also mentions how the drawings on the walls, of each bug, are sorted in a very specific order:
* "A whole collection of insects carefully classified and lined up in nice straight rows."
* "And classified by type."
* "And by size."
* "..."
* "And in alphabetical order."
* "The person who worked in this office was certainly... thorough."

=== Prisoners ===
A dead woman can occasionally be found hanging from a gallows by a chain. The Beheaded makes note of this as well as an amulet she is still clutching, and then takes it:
* "A young woman."
* "Prisoner 6541."
* "She’s clutching something in her fist."
A row of three hanged prisoners, suspected of infection, from a gallows by a chain can be found:
* "A man, about forty years old."
* "Can't really be sure."
* "Suspected infection"
The second:
* "Suspected infection"
The third:
* "This one was either a dwarf, or she was no more than 10 or 12 years old."
* "Let's just say she was a dwarf."
* "suspected infection"
Their personal belongings can also be found:
* "It was supposed to burn, but a few things seem to have survived."
* "Oh, interesting."
A sign can be found with the writing:
* "Live target training"
Next to the sign, is a bag of arrows:
* "A supply of bows and arrows."
* "Hmm?"
Across from the sign and bag of arrows is a prisoner, dead with an arrow through their head:
* "Only one arrow hit the target."
* "Right in the head."
Behind the prisoner are many arrows:
* "The prison's archers were really useless..." 
=== Orders of the King ===
An order from the King to the guards says to imprison anyone showing signs of the Malaise. This can also be found in the Promenade of the Condemned.
Another order from the King says to the guards:
* "If the cells are overpopulated, use the outdoor jails or the oubliettes. Leave no suspects unsupervised."
This implies prison cells were becoming full from too many imprisonments. This can also be found in the Promenade of the Condemned.
