"And into Asylum- like a great black engine roaring to eternity, ravaging the already benighted landscape with its savage malevolent presence. And within, the legions of the truly damned. Insanity sheer and stark and once in human form, now gutted and torn by eons of glutted indulgence. Their bloodlust flecking the oily walls. Living in the shriek's of victims ensnared, hanged, drawn and quartered by the serpent's squalid writhing's.

The Asylum is a titanic building, which serves as a sanctuary for "misunderstood individuals". The Asylum shouldn't be confused with Deadside itself, because Deadside is a natural place where people go when they die, while Legion had the Asylum built in the center of it, so his grand army could finally be constructed. The Asylum was designed by the 18th century killer, Jack the Ripper. It's a massive, black, coliseum-like structure filled with evil and indescribable horrors. After Legion's defeat at the hands of Shadow Man, his so-called asylum was destroyed for good.

Some of the blood-filled hallways contain hordes of Hookman butchers, who are harvesting Deadsiders from the Wasteland. Also, this location is heavily guarded by Sniper Guard Hookmen and most of the doors are locked, including the front door. Shadow Man must find the Engineer's Key to unlock all of the doors found in all the Asylum sections.
