The Maw of Ouroboros is a location in Classic II: Dominique's Curse. It consists of a passage through a hill that descends from the town of Theurgia on the left to Bathin's dungeon, the Infernal Fortress, on the right.
Description[]
Similar to the earlier Abyssal Path, the narrow pathways here feature thorns that will harm Dominique if she falls in. During the New Moon, the enemies here include Gieremunds, Mortes (both fast and slow variants), Bats, and one Cannon Morte. The Dead Moon removes the Gieremunds but adds several Bone Mortes. The Groundskeeper associated with the Infernal Fortress patrols this area during the New Moon but moves into the dungeon itself during the Dead Moon.
Dialogue[]
- Groundskeeper: "If you plan to challenge the Dukes of Hell, you will need to grow stronger. I can help, for a price."
Trivia[]
- The name of this area refers to the ouroboros, an ancient and widespread symbol that depicts a serpent eating its own tail. The ouroboros has been interpreted in many ways depending on cultural context, but in the Gnostic religious tradition and in alchemy, it typically represents the unity and cyclical nature of all things.
