# Catacombs

**Catacombs** are ancient underground complexes filled with perilous traps and shrouded in mystery. Their origins remain unknown, but they seem intrinsically linked to the magic behind the Porbles that seeps through the Portal Network. Many statues within the Catacombs vaguely resemble [Porbles](/portal-fantasy-docs/gameplay/porbles.md), though they are much more twisted and sinister. Hooded figures are depicted in the bas-reliefs inside these eerie structures.

Each Catacomb houses a Malicious Spirit that cannot be truly defeated, only temporarily subdued, making it the perfect finale for a Porble Handler's Sigil Exam. Conquering these spirits tests the limits of a handler's skill and courage, ensuring they are worthy of advancing to the next [Sigil Rank](/portal-fantasy-docs/gameplay/heroes/sigil-rank.md).
