The Condemned Subway is the first dungeon for newcomers to on Rubi-Ka.

It's made for low level players in the level range ~5 - 24.
Entering the dungeon is limited to level 24 max; while you can stay inside the dungeon and level beyond that you won't be able to reenter it once you've left it with a level 25 or higher. Warping into the dungeon is blocked (at least for players past level 24).

The subway can be entered in the cities Borealis, West Athen and outside the eastern gates of Rome (Rome Stretch, Pos: 174,874). There is a nonworking subway entrance in Newland City. Each entrance leads to a different instance of the subway -- each entrance, in turn, may generate multiple instances of the subway, depending on how many people are using a given entrance.

Note: If you want to explore the subway with friends, make sure to pick the one where all of you can go to safely (there are omni/clan guards near the subway in West Athen and outside Rome Blue). Since a given entrance may generate a different instance, team up before entering the subway -- without teamed before hand, you may end up in different instances (unable to see each other while being virtually at the same place).

The upper level(s) of the subway actually resemble the feeling of a real subway station with shops, ramps and platforms. Eumenides guards the access tunnel to the lower, second part of the dungeon, which looks more like a sewer (maintenance) system. As usual, the further you run into the dungeon, the more dangerous the mobs get.

Loot

Most of the mobs have standard loot, common to similar type mobs you find in missions and outdoors, including weapons, implants and clusters, first aid kits and so on

Additionally, you may find Living Cyber Armor parts, pieces for the first Ergo Ring quest, Eleet dolls and Morphing Memories, slot 1 NCU chips which can be leveled up.

See the description to the Quest for more info about the other Living Cyber Armor parts and how to obtain them.

The Violent Vagabonds drop the

which is needed for one of the newbie quests and

which is a nice social item.

There are several Striker named mobs in the subway which drop specific loot as well:
Workman Striker

Architect Striker

and their boss Striker Foreman (Level 19)

Unique Mobs

Eumenides

Subway unique eumenides.jpg

Eumenides is a level 20 boss guarding the lower part of the subway in one of the railroad tunnels.
Tactics: Eumenides is the first boss encounter you will probably find, and it will be a simple one too. The fight is basically a tank and spank, and whether your team manages to down him or not would depend mostly on level and equipment. Kiting him is not recommended as his range attacks usually will burn you down, coupled with the fact that he likes to switch targets often. It is however, possible to run away from him with a high amount of runspeed.
Respawntime: 30 Minutes

Drop:

Vergil Aeneid

Subway unique vergil aeneid.jpg

Vergil Aeneid is a ~level 29 boss. He is pretty much at the end of the dungeon, guarding the lair of Abmouth. Usually there are 2 mobs beside him, but they are in no way connected with Vergil in regard to spawning, but tend to share a similar aggro range and/or social aggro when Vergil is attacked.
Respawntime: 30 Minutes

Drop:

Abmouth Supremus

Subway unique abmouth supremus.jpg

Abmouth Supremus is the level 30 final boss of the Subway. Usually he is standing in a small pit at the very end, sometimes already guarded by 2 infectors. Latest if he gets attacked these 2 infectors will spawn. Killing them is required at times, however they will get respawned immediately. Let a calmer handle them if there is one available.
Respawntime: 30 Minutes, although it seems more like a 20-30 min respawn timer with lower than 100% chance of spawning

Drop:

The Belt and Juggler's Treat always drop together, it's either both of them or none; their drop chance is with a rough guess at about 30%.
