The Old PrisonReport

English:The Old Prison · Locations

An old prison in the south-east corner of the Bonefields, now the home of the Gorrillo Bandits. The main tower resembles an Ancient Tech Lab, the walls are unusually sophisticated, and there is a destroyed watchtower — this building has changed hands more than once.

The Old Prison is the base of the Gorrillo Bandits, in the south-eastern corner of the Bonefields, almost directly south of Mourn.

Inside you will find the faction's leader Gorrillo and his Gorillo Bandits.

The building's history

The complex has three parts, and they do not really match each other:

StructureNote
Main towerResembles an Ancient Tech Lab
WallsFairly sophisticated, not thrown together
WatchtowerDestroyed

A tower shaped like an ancient lab, a decent set of walls and a collapsed watchtower together suggest several prior uses before this became a home for bulky brawlers.

Something ancient first, then a prison, then bandits. Kenshi never explains this sort of thing — but the architecture says it.

Who is here

Gorrillo, nicknamed "the Boulder," is a bandit boss. The United Cities have him down for a bounty of roughly 50,000, and the Meitou-grade Exile Plank he carries is the only one in the game.

NoteThe names are easy to confuse — Gorrillo is a person, Gorillo is an animal. The Old Prison holds the former, a Greenlander with a crew of heavies.

Why the player cares

The Old Prison is a bounty coordinate. No shops, no purchasable buildings; its value is the 50,000-cat head behind the gate and the Meitou weapon in his hands.

The Bonefields themselves are dry plains scattered with bone, the place where even the Empire starts to fade — inside two walls people still keep human rules, and outside them the Beak Things decide who survives the night. Against that background, a crew of heavies squatting in an old prison is a perfectly sensible survival strategy.
