Landmarks

Fountain Plaza

Set in the middle of the district is the glorious landmark aptly named the Fountain Plaza. Established following Balduq's transition from fortress to city, this is a favorite hangout spot for locals.

Balduq Cathedral

Located directly across from the Fountain Plaza and next to the Pendleton Company is the magnificent Balduq Cathedral. This gothic-style building is host to the tallest man-made structure in the City of Balduq and landmark, the Balduq Cathedral Spire. Scaling the steeple allows one to view the entire city from on high.

Pendleton Company

The Central District is host to one of the most business-savvy companies in all of the city, the Pendleton Company. Owned and operated by the business' family namesake, the Pendletons adhere to a strict philosophy of ruthlessly defeating all competition with strict capital gains. Customers may browse their wares to their leisure.

Ruined Belfry

A modest sight set against neighboring elaborate architecture is the Ruined Belfry, a favorite locale of a certain leader of the Monstrums. Scaling the structure grants a view of the city and the rooftops of neighboring buildings allow swift traversal from one area to the next.

Secret Medicine Stash

The entrance of the Secret Medicine Stash

The Secret Medicine Stash is a secret area hidden within the Central District. In order to access it, Doll's Gift, Third Eye, is required in order to locate the hidden switch nestled within one of the inconspicuous bricks near the door. Inside the area is a small, square room adorned with bookcases, a miscellany of warehouse storage, and medicinal items.

There are a total of 4 chests in the Secret Medicine Stash:

• Bitter Remedy x2
• Hermit's Remedy x2
• Sweet Remedy x2
• Panacea x2
