English:Old Empire Watchtower · Locations

Two broken Second Empire towers on the Leviathan Coast with fifteen items scattered at their feet, refreshing every twenty-four hours. No guards, no locks — the only barrier is what walks the road between them.

🗺 See this place on the map ↗

The Old Empire Watchtower is a ruined tower left by the Second Empire on the Leviathan Coast. There are only two in the world, and both are in this one region.

The tower itself is a wreck. What matters is what is lying at the foot of it.

Why it belongs in your notebook

This ruin has three numbers:

No locks, no spiders, no Skeletons. Clear it, come back tomorrow, and the loot is back.

NoteThe Artifacts system does not spawn here. That means no AI Cores and no Masterwork gear. This place is valuable for its repeatable income, not for a one-time prize.

Danger

The tower has no guards. The trouble is entirely on the way there.

The Leviathan Coast has no towns, no bandits and no order — only Leviathans strolling through the ruins, with Beak Things waiting at their feet for a Garru to stray. The eastern tower looks south toward the Cannibal Plains.

NoteLeviathans are absurdly slow and almost impossible to kill — and a lone Leviathan that spots a squad of three or more may roar and attack the entire party. On a looting run to these towers, your own party size is a risk factor.

What it means for the player

The Old Empire Watchtower is the most practical kind of mid-game location: low risk, repeatable, dependable payout.

Fifteen items at a time, potentially including four-figure components like a CPU Unit, a Power Core or a Skeleton Repair Kit — then fifteen more tomorrow. For a squad that cannot yet buy high-tier parts but wants steady cash, alternating between the two towers is a very clean income route.

The rare maps are worth watching for too. Map to World's End and Map to Mongrel each save a great deal of scouting.
