Exploring the Shattered Citadel is a Sunless Sea Story Event.

Trigger conditions[ | ]

Exploring the Shattered Citadel is triggered when you do the Explore the Shattered Citadel action in Godfall.

Story description[ | ]

"All the Neath is dark. The Citadel is dark as only a once-bright place can be. It hung up there among the false-stars, drowned in azure light, for... how long? Now it's here. So are you."

Game note: Very bad things will happen if you run out of candles.

Interactions[ | ]

In order to get anything at all from the citadel, a minimum of 8 x Foxfire Candles is required. Recommended more, because there is a chance of not going deeper into the tunnels.

Every time you unsuccessfully or successfully go deeper or go back, you will find an encounter based on your Nasty Things in the Dark level.
