The Ruined City of Kishgal (廃都キシュガル Hai-to kishugaru ) is an ancient underground city below Quatera Island and the final dungeon of Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim. It can be accessed from the Windseeker Heights after inserting the Wyvern Medaille into the monument atop the Windseeker Heights. There are two minor boss fights against Kishcarin, both of which are required to pass through the area.

After passing through the Ruined City of Kishgal, Adol arrives in a small sub-area called Wyvern Corridor. From there he can see the Ark of Napishtim in the distance, but is separated from it by a vast empty space that cannot be crossed by foot. Olha catches up to him and reveals that her secret duty as a priestess of Alma is to open the way into the Ark. She warns Adol that he cannot return once he passed into the Ark, which gives the player a last chance to leave and update their equipment for the following boss fights.
By playing on her flute she summons the Wyvern Guide, a large flying beast that serves Alma, to carry Adol into the Ark. Geis also appears in the last second, joining Adol on the Wyvern Guide with Olha's permission. While flying to the Ark, Geis explains that he's the younger brother of Ernst and that he's trying to stop Ernst's plans.
