This page lists all of the Ghost of Crom Bás's intel on the Dungeon.

• Note: Not all of the intel is available at first. Questions marked with a only occur once the player has reached the Mid-Boss stage of the Crom Bas dungeon.

What sort of place is Crom Bás?

Ghost of Crom Bás
Crom Bas was, in a word, like hell. Perhaps the closest thing to it my mortal mind could comprehend.
They said they needed to make a 'vessel' for something, and my blood was spilled as a sacrifice in pursuit of that goal. One of many.

How can one reach Crom Bás?

Ghost of Crom Bás
I heard a Moon Stone landed near the Crom Bas Entrance, and its debris remains there even now. That debris, due to its magical properties, can be used in much the same way as a proper Moon Gate.

How did you become a Ghost?

Ghost of Crom Bás
I myself sometimes wonder where I'd been heading when this all began. It's been so long that I can't quite recall, but I know I'd simply been going about my day, not poking my nose into any suspicious business.
I heard the sound of a cat behind me. I thought perhaps it was a stray cat, but when I turned around...
Well, that's where my memory gets all hazy. All I know is that when I came to, I was in a dark, miserable dungeon along with many others who had been likewise taken.
All of us were terrified. No one knew where we were, or why we'd even been brought there. All we knew was that, every so often, those horrible monsters would come and drag us away, one by one. We all lived in fear of being the next to go.
No one who was taken away ever returned. I only found out what happenned to them when it was my turn. There was blood everywhere... I heard screaming coming from someplace, though I couldn't see who. Not long after, my life was taken, leaving behind only the specter you see before you.
But even after leaving the mortal coil behind, I was still not free. The dense fog that hung over the castle disoriented us all, leaving us little more than accursed shades doomed to wander those bloodstained halls forever.

How did you escape?

Ghost of Crom Bás
Even now, I wonder what caused that stroke of good fortune. One day, the fog began to clear, little by little. Those paths we'd wandered seemed more like the halls they were than an endless labyrinth. It wasn't long after that we were finally able to leave the confines of Crom Bas.
But alas... it appears I'm the only one who made it this far. Perhaps the others had strong attachments, or some great measure of terror or grief rooted them to the castle grounds. Many appeared too petrified to leave the area.

About Irusan

Ghost of Crom Bás
Irusan was, in a word, inscrutable.
In one moment, they could be acting as adorably as one might expect with a face like that...and the very next, unleash torment upon anyone nearby, a lurid madness glinting in their eye.
Where was it... Someplace called Mag Mell, I believe? A few times, Irusan murmured about what life used to be like there.
Do you know where that is? Is it one of the layers of hell?

What Irusan likes

Ghost of Crom Bás
Irusan's got an incredible sweeth tooth. It was almost impossible for them to focus on anything else if they caught even a whiff of some dessert nearby.
I once saw them brutally kill a monster for disturbing them while they were enjoying a cupcake.
Irusan had an astonishing appetite, especially for a creature of that size. I once saw them wolf dowm 200 cookies, then get agitated that it wasn't enough.
Even a grown man would get sick after the first hundred!

What was Irusan's original name?

Ghost of Crom Bás
I'm...not really sure. Everyone referred to them as Irusan, but they'd often correct whoever it was, saying 'Ahem! This is Irusan you're talking to, not Irusan!'
I never could figure out what that was supposed to mean.

About Folamh

Ghost of Crom Bás
He's a total enigma. That cold, expressionless face. That bone-chilling stare... The only feeling he inspires is terror.

Folamh's Hobby

Ghost of Crom Bás
Who knows? No one really ever spoke with him. Based on his actions... perhaps treating life with all the regard to firewood thrown to a kiln?
Oh, come to think of it, I've often seen him standing in the glow that shines from Un Llygadog's eye. It almost seemed like an actor in the spotlight.

Deep in Crom Bás

Ghost of Crom Bás
I heard you can access the castle's roof from Irusan's room. Only Folamh, Irusan, and a trusted few others are permitted to go there.
