Moldering Ruins is a dungeon in Octopath Traveler. The entrance to this optional dungeon can be found in the East Duskbarrow Trail, at the end of the path east of the save point.
Description[]
Moldering Ruins, as its name suggests, is an underground cavern filled with the crumbling arches, pillars, and stairways of a once-grand building swallowed up by the cave. An ominous red lighting tints the cavern, hinting at the monstrous and human dangers that lie within.
