Tackle thrilling new instances aiming to push your abilities in Update 2.5! Today, we're diving into the Crucible Challenge. Discover the trials within.
Solo Training: The Crucible Challenge
Engage with the Crucible Challenge solo from levels 50-55 for a chance to gather coveted loot.
The instance is open once a week, resetting each Wednesday at 9 AM.
Backstory
The Crucible Challenge is a training exercise fueled by illusions crafted to aid Daevas in growing stronger. This particular challenge is meant to be tackled individually.
Where Is the Challenge?
Elyos eager to hone their combat skills can enlist for training at the entrance to the Kaisinel Academy in Sanctum, while Asmodians should proceed to the entrance of the Marchutan Priory in Pandaemonium.
The Instance
Though the Crucible Challenge always takes place within the same arena, through the ingenious use of illusion, it seems to offer ever-changing trials. The goal is to conquer 6 stages, each with multiple rounds.
The task at hand is to defeat all foes and then converse with the Recordkeeper to move on to the next phase. Defeating monsters racks up points, promising superior rewards at the instance's conclusion.
You can't employ respawning items or abilities in the Crucible, but if vanquished, a Worthiness Ticket lets you continue the battle. Any leftover Tickets vanish after training ends.
The Crucible Challenge can be ended at any time by selecting the Stop Training option at the screen's top right.
The Phases
The initial stage is overrun with hostile plant varieties. Eradicate the vegetation and trim the Grissil of Verdure to size to advance.
Beyond the flora are either aggressive avians or fierce Kerubs and Spriggs ready to cause trouble. Survive this, and earn a bonus opportunity by saving Poppy from the Dukaki Cooks! Help the porky porgus evade becoming their dish to score unique rewards.
The next phase will challenge your strategy, allowing you to simplify future combat. After toppling the creatures, their leader waits, and later you'll face a misunderstood mosbear.
Your journey then leads you to Haramel or into battle against Kaliga in a Nightmare. Either way, Administrator Arminos will offer a bonus round via a mini-game of choosing among three chests. Choose correctly for a reward. Choose poorly...
Stage 5 reintroduces individuals from Sanctum and Pandaemonium. Triumph over them to earn an encounter with the final adversary!
In the sixth and last stage, confront Vanktrist Spacetwine, who will deploy every tactic to halt your training. Should you succeed, various prizes based on your score await, from wings to Balic materials and beyond!
Tips and Tricks
Canny challengers would benefit from a brief pause between stages to prepare, rather than speaking immediately to the Recordkeeper and rushing forward without caution.
