# Catacombs

The Catacombs are an important part of the game as they provide access to many valuable alchemy recipes. They are a necessary step in advancing to the mid-game and farming some essential items. Like in the [Kalgas Cave](/custom-content/other/starter-dungeons/kalgas-cave.md) and [Ankou's Asylum](/custom-content/other/starter-dungeons/ankous-asylum.md), players will need **500.000 HP** and a moderate damage output to successfully navigate the Catacombs.

In this dungeon, players will need to gather both coins and runes to unlock valuable items and recipes. The coins can be used to purchase weapons and other items from the NPC at the entrance of the dungeon. Meanwhile, runes are required for crafting powerful [alchemy items](/systems/alchemy.md), which are essential for advancing in the game.

It's worth noting that the Catacombs are an excellent source of both coins and runes, making them an excellent spot for players looking to farm these essential resources. With enough time and patience, players can accumulate a large quantity of both coins and runes, which can be used to craft powerful equipment and items later on.

In summary, the Catacombs are a crucial dungeon that players must navigate to progress to the mid-game. With the right gear and strategy, players can farm valuable coins and runes and unlock essential alchemy recipes. So, make sure you're well-equipped and prepared before entering the Catacombs.
