This was achieved using an innovative new technique for radiocarbon dating building-mortar, which is currently being refined at the 14CHRONO Centre for Climate, the Environment, and Chronology at QUB. But, thanks to the efforts of the Derry Tower Heritage Group and their foresight in collecting mortar samples from the building when it underwent conservation work in 2013, the tower has now been directly dated to between the 13th and 14th centuries AD. Located on the grounds of the Lumen Christi College grammar school, the monument was previously thought to be the ruins of a 17 th-century windmill. New evidence, brought to light by researchers from Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) and local historians from the Derry Tower Heritage Group, suggests that a ‘lost’ medieval round tower may in fact have been hiding in plain sight in the heart of Derry City for centuries. Stress dealers such as Bone Courtiers, Cultist Acolytes, and Madmen.The remains of a medieval round tower have been identified on the grounds of the Lumen Christi College grammar school.Alternatively, if your party has enough damage, speed, and stun abilities, enemy groups with two Bone Courtiers and/or Bone Arbalists can be great opportunities for recuperation - by killing the two front-line enemies first (and removing their corpses) so that the Courtiers / Arbalists move into the first two rows, you can reduce the enemy force to two monsters that are stuck in rows where they deal very little melee damage and no stress damage outside of an infrequent critical hit, allowing you to stun or simply tank the negligible damage while restoring lost health and stress. Pulling Bone Courtiers or Bone Arbalists to the front rows and knocking Cultist Brawlers into the back rows can be helpful, as they will use weaker attacks to get back to their desired position. The general strategy is to kill stress/damage dealers in the back ranks first, then focus on enemies without PROT, leave the Bone Rabble and Bone Defender for last, as they don't hit that hard. It's also worth noting that traps in the Ruins only cause physical damage and stress, with no bleed, blight, or debuff. The Bone Captain is weaker than his counterparts from other regions. The Ruins is the easiest region to explore skeletons don't have many special attacks, holy curios with positive effects are easy to come by, and urns, chests, and cabinets can provide some good loot. The Grave Robber is fast enough to kill Bone Courtiers before they get a turn, preventing them from using their Stress-inducing attacks. The Crusader does very well in the Ruins due to the increased damage he deals to Unholy enemies, which are prevalent in this area. Conversely, characters proficient with Blight attacks become extremely useful here, as most enemies have very low blight resistance, and there are a few enemies with high PROT (less susceptible to direct damage, while remaining susceptible to Damage-Over-Time effects). Consider bringing more Torches for Shambler's Altars.Ĭharacters reliant on doing Bleed damage are much less effective in Ruins than in other locations due to the presence of skeletons (which cannot bleed).Consider bringing more Food than normal, as there aren't any food-oriented curios in the Ruins.They can also be substituted for Skeleton Keys on most locked Curios, although Shovels yield less treasure. As usual, Shovels are necessary for clearing Rubble.(The one exception is the Antivenom variant of the Heirloom Chest, but even then, Antivenom yields less treasure than a Skeleton Key.) ![]()
