THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Ghoul Generator

First seen: Book 3, Chapter 21

A device that creates and releases ghouls into the dungeon, per the Blister Ghoul's own card examined at station 72. Powered by soul crystals, and tied to the whole floor rather than one room: every time a non-undead mob dies anywhere on the floor, one of the floor's ghoul generators births a single Blister Ghoul. Carl notes the grim mechanics of it, that every mob on the floor is dying of the same DTs sickness anyway, meaning the generators are only going to get busier.

  • TAG Possibly Destroyed: A team of 300-400 crawlers fights its way to one instance's generator meaning to remove or disable it; a massive explosion follows, felt and heard all the way at station 75, which Carl guesses, without direct confirmation, was the soul crystal blowing
