Menagerie

The objective is to dispel the Hive ward The encounter begins when players stand in the large green circle and neutralize the “Blessed Knight Splinter” Hive Knights Standing in the green circle grants players the “Witch’s Blessing” buff that lasts 60 seconds Once Witch’s Blessing expires, players will receive the “Witch’s Curse” debuff that lasts 3 seconds and will kill them unless they utilize the “Witch’s Vessel” The Witch’s Blessing buff allows players to only damage “Blessed” enemies Players without Witch’s Blessing can only damage normal enemies Using the Witch’s Vessel, the team can control which players have Witch’s Blessing by destroying the sphere on top of the artifact near the front of the room In order to utilize the Witch’s Vessel artifact and exchange Witch’s Blessing there must be at least one player with the buff and another player without it standing inside the purple circle Blessed enemies and normal enemies will spawn throughout the area during each wave Six Blessed Knight Splinter Hive Knights will spawn during each phase as well as two “Gahlran’s Retainer” Hive Ogres. Three of the Knights and one of the Ogres will be Blessed Three crystals will also spawn throughout the area and require two players, one with Witch’s Blessing and another without it to destroy each crystal before they turn green kill the team The cycle repeats until the fourth wave is complete The first chest spawns on the other side of the chasm

Kingdom of Sorrow

The objective is to neutralize the deceptions The encounter begins once any player melee strikes a deception The area is divided into three sections Three “Gahlran’s Deception’s” will spawn, one in each section Two will be decoys, one will be real Once the encounter begins, green barriers on the ground will divide the area into three sections preventing players from leaving their section “Revenant Wizards” and other enemies will spawn in each section A green circle will randomly spawn in one of the three sections. Players can stand in the circle and get Witch’s Blessing allowing them to neutralize Blessed enemies Once the Revenant Wizards are killed, “Gahlran’s Retainer” Ogres will spawn After all three Gahlran’s Retainer Ogres are eliminated, a Witch’s Vessel will spawn The Witch’s Vessel will spawn on one of the green barriers dividing the area into sections, allowing the team to transfer Witch’s Blessing between sections Once the Witch’s Blessing buff is transferred, the green barrier it spawned on will disappear The players with the real Gahlran’s Deception in their section will be the last to receive Witch’s Blessing The team should meet at the third Witch’s Vessel to either switch or receive Witch’s Blessing The shield around Gahlran’s Deception can only be neutralized when a player with Witch’s Blessing and a player without it melee strike it at the same time Melee striking Gahlran’s Deception will consume Witch’s Blessing Once Gahlran’s Deception’s shield is neutralized the damage phase begins When Gahlran’s Deception’s shield returns another player with Witch’s Blessing can melee strike it to disable it and start another damage phase The cycle repeats until Gahlran’s Deception is defeated The third chest spawns near the centre pillar
