Step 3: Activate The Realmgate

This opens six portals into the Twisted Domain, where your run begins.

Navigating the Twisted Domain

This map is more than just a boss arena- it's a timed gauntlet filled with Breach monsters. You'll run along a fragmented rocky path while fighting to maintain the breach timer.

Core Mechanics:

Moving Breach Circle: Stay within or near the Breach ring as it expands along the path.

Bridge Appearance: The bridge to the final arena only appears when the breach circle crosses it.

Timer Refill: Killing enemies refills the breach; slowing down means failure.

Survival Tips:

Stay on the Edge: Kite enemies at the breach's edge to avoid getting swarmed.

AoE and Spread Skills: Skills with chain, fork, or projectile spread are vital for mowing down crowds.

Practice Terrain: Pre-run the map if possible to familiarize yourself with any tricky terrain that could slow you down or cause you to get stuck.

At the end, you'll reach a platform where Xesht emerges from the void.

Weaknesses:

No Armor: Physical damage bypasses mitigation-ideal for buy POE currency bleed or crit-based melee builds.
