Patch 2.8.5 brings two massive challenges aimed at putting your skills and those of your comrades to the test! Discover what's in store for you in Tartarus right here.
Tiamats Geheimnisse in der Tiefe
After reaching level 58, you can partner with up to 5 allies to descend into the Tartarus Depths and thwart Tiamats' dark schemes beneath the Apheta Beluslan Fortress.
Seize your opportunity every Wednesday at 09:00 to bag those coveted Abyss Relics!
Die Geschichte
Tiamat uses her followers to bring the very powers of time deep beneath the Apheta Beluslan Fortress. Here she aims to gather and strengthen these mysterious forces before they're ready for deadly deployment. But Tiamat guards her treasure jealously, and Daevas daring to interrupt her dark plans face a myriad of lethal trials deep underground…
Wo findest du Tartarus?
Tartarus is accessible from the Apheta Beluslan Fortress if your faction holds it. If not, you must seek Tikirunerk or Tikimunerk around the fortress. From them, you can buy a Time Fragment. Head to your faction's airship with this to travel through a rift into Tartarus.
Die Instanz
As soon as you and your friends take your first tentative steps into Tartarus, you're met with the first barrier: The Vasuki Essence is not thrilled by intruders and magically immobilizes you. You'll encounter him several times. Stay determined and push deeper into the mysterious vaults beneath the fortress!
Next, you need to overcome the mighty seal protecting Tiamat's secrets. Once you've crossed through the dungeon's monitoring center, you'll find yourself in a vast area directly before the enormous seal. Four seal-guarding devices maintain it, and numerous Balaur are there to ensure no pretentious heroes dare tamper with it…
As soon as you and your comrades dismantle the four devices, the seal collapses. But beyond it lies the first real challenge: Mashutanu the Overseer blocks your path! Tiamat's henchman is well-protected, and your attacks will be ineffective against him. He sends his two hellhounds after you! Once you've finally defeated the Overseer, everyone can rejoice in a treasure chest full of Abyss Relics.
You and your allies are now at Tartarus' entrance and can spread your wings: a steep descent into the depths awaits. Self-destructing Ashulagen prisons will try to stop you! Those who maintain their cool amidst the chaos will notice that some Ashulagen are purple instead of red…
Once you're back on solid ground, you'll face the aptly named Infernal Path. There you confront Guard Commander Sumeda, who will stop at nothing to halt your progress! Defeat him, and the massive gate blocking your way will open. The best-guarded area of Tartarus is in front of you!
One last time, the Vasuki Essence opposes you. His attempts to stop you have failed, but Tiamat does not tolerate failure – he will personally deal with you!
… Or at least try. But once he falls, another trial awaits: Three mysterious gargoyles block the way. Here too, one is protected by an impenetrable shield, but perhaps your knowledge from the last battle with an allegedly invincible enemy will prove useful…
The air crackles with energy as you near the deepest point of Tartarus. Here Tiamat works on her mysterious weapon: A replica of Phaistos! But Tiamat's engineers had little time, and you penetrated Tartarus before they could finish the dreadful weapon. The replica before you might seem unstable, but it shouldn't be underestimated! It may not be as powerful as the original, but this version is still formidable!
Once the battle dust settles and you're exhausted but triumphant, you stand on your feet with several Tartarus treasure chests full of Abyss Relics before you!
Tipps und Tricks
Keep an eye out for compressed time trails on your way: Daevas with sufficient essence gathering skills can collect them. Most will yield time shards, but occasionally you'll find a rare Eris fragment, which will be beneficial later! Once the final boss is defeated, you'll notice one of the treasure chests is locked. Here, diligent collectors with an Eris fragment will revel as they unlock it and enjoy even more Abyss Relics than their comrades.
Apparently invincible foes should be careful not to rely too much on their allies. This bad habit has been the downfall of many.
Near the gate where the Vasuki Essence stands one last time in your way, another secret awaits those clever Daevas skilled at using their new gliding abilities…
The enigmatic Paruam Seal Guard is well concealed and sends out scouts to watch areas of Tartarus poorly patrolled by the Balaur. What might happen should someone find and eliminate all these informants?
