Ruined City Underground

The Ruined City Underground (Area D-12) is a Location in Code Vein. It consists of a multilevel parking garage that was turned into a cavern after the Great Collapse. Revenants who left Silva after Operation Queenslayer used it as a hidden refuge, but the spreading miasma turned it into a den of the Lost.

After the protagonist and Io are discovered by stray Revenants, they are forcibly recruited. The protagonist is sent off with Oliver Collins to scavenge for Bloodbeads.

The Ruined City Underground is effectively the tutorial stage for the player, and they are sent in armed with only the Pipe of Thralldom and Hammer of Thralldom. While Oliver is sufficiently competent to handle most threats, at the midway point he gets ambushed, with the Lost's attack nicking his mask and exposing him to the miasma. He's too exhausted to continue, and the player is forced to go on alone until they encounter Louis Amamiya further down.

As the protagonist and Louis seek a way to the surface, they encounter a Bloodspring, and the player's own blood brings it to life. Louis is surprised that the protagonist is capable of this, as no Revenant can restore life to a Bloodspring. The protagonist is also able to bring life to Mistles which serve as save points and quick travel checkpoints.

At the surface, the protagonist and Louis encounters Oliver again, who's succumbed to frenzy after inhaling too much of the miasma. Halfway through the fight he transforms into a colossal Lost, showing the player the origin and fate of many Revenants before them. Oliver is defeated, and the player picks up his Vestige Core which plunges them and Louis into Oliver's memories. Louis is amazed at the protagonist's powers and offers to recruit them and Io under his wing to solve the Bloodbead scarcity and make life for everyone in the Vein less harsh.
