-
How to do it

- Kill 3 each of Consumption, Colossal Worldeater and Deadsoul Hatcher. That summons Shriekwing, Vigilant Guardian and Skolex.
- Defeat those three, then the final boss, Ra-den. He always drops the Fractured Reality Signet, a powerful ring.
-
How to do it
- The Signet rolls random stats, and can roll Corruption Resistance. Keep running for a better one.
- Each objective boss pays 5 Rift Shards and Ra-den pays 60. Spend them at the Miser on more Orbs.
- Ra-den also pays 1 to 3 Orbs of Corruption, which you will use next.
-
How to do it
- The roll: 20% strips every enhancement from the item, 40% adds nothing, 15% adds 1 to 2 effects, 15% adds 3 to 4, and 10% adds 5 to 7.
- Use it on an item you can replace. A Corrupted item cannot be corrupted again, and the Corruption Chisel cannot touch it.
- Omens remove the risk from your next Orb. The Rift Warden sells Omen of Absolute Corruption for 3,000 Rift Tokens. The others come later, with Primal Light.
-
How to do it
- Get 3 Shadow Keys from Dausegne, with Orbs of Pure Shadow.
- Get 3 Tormented Keys from Tormented Soul, with Orbs of the Tormented Souls.

Chapter 13: Castle Nathria
With a few Sanctified pieces, you are ready for Revendreth's hardest farm and the castle itself.
-
How to do it
- Open the Magic Stone: Open World Farming, Revendreth, Castle Nathria Outskirts.
- Defeat General Kaal at the castle entrance. He always drops Primal Light. The elites around him have a small chance too.
-
How to do it
- Each General Kaal kill has a 50% chance to start it. After it starts, it cannot start again for 2 hours.
- While it lasts, enemies have double health, but Red Anima is tripled and elites can drop extra Primal Light.
- Elites drop a Fragment of Darkness 5% of the time. During the event it is 20%, and each drop gives 2.
-
How to do it
- General Kaal and the elites can drop Omens. The Miser sells them for Primal Light: Omen of Corruption 100, Greater 250, Absolute 500. The Rift Warden sells Absolute for 3,000 Rift Tokens.
- Right-click the Omen. Your next Orb of Corruption gets at least a Minor, a Major or the Absolute result. Omens do not stack.
-
How to do it
- Finish all of the Miser's quests to earn Been there. Done that. Muncher starts the chain with The Touch of Madness.
- Bring your best gear, Riftwalker's Demise or Critical Overkill. Corruption Resistance matters here: Scrolls and Enchants of Warding from the Rift Warden add it.
- Collect 30 Fragments of Darkness for the Normal tier. A Rift Cache from the Rift Warden can also give some.
-
How to do it
- Open the menu and choose Castle Nathria. Pick a tier: Normal costs 30 Fragments, and every player pays their own.
- Before a room, the leader can accept a modifier for 5 Fragments or skip it. Modifiers make the run harder and its rewards better, and they last the whole run.
- After each room, choose to push deeper or bank what you earned. If everyone dies before the next boss, the run ends with nothing.
- Take Mid-Fight Boss Spawn at least once: set pieces only drop with it. Hidden chests, cleared bosses, spare lives and a bigger group all add reward rolls.
- The tiers go from Normal to Torment IV, at 100 Fragments. From Torment II there are 20 rooms in 4 blocks.
