The Ancient B.L.D.R. Construct is a worker of the Ancient Constructs in Cinder's Cradle. Its name stands for Building, Landscaping and Demolition Rig. It has a round blue-grey body with gold trim and a round port in its chest. One arm ends in a heavy mallet and the other in a claw of thin metal fingers. It works in the beacon dungeons, such as the Embervale Museum and the Engine Chambers.

Where to Find the Ancient B.L.D.R. Construct

The B.L.D.R. works in Cinder's Cradle, mostly inside its beacon dungeons. Most players meet it first in the Embervale Museum, the Springlands beacon dungeon of the main story. It also stands around the Springlands Dungeon Entrance, next to Flaming Scorpions. More of them work in the Engine Chambers, where nearly every kind of construct gathers. On the Sky Islands, it helps guard the construct hub at Manathor's Plaza. Many stand dormant until an alarm wakes them, so a quiet approach keeps the fight smaller.
