Interlude is a temporary act. The player and The Hooded One seek out allies to recruit before heading to Oriath and wage war against the Twilight Order.
The Interlude consists of three sub-sections across three regions. These areas can be visited in any order and area levels will permanently scale with progress across the three interludes based on the number of bosses killed in the other two interludes, excluding the penultimate bosses (Sigbert/Godwin and Stormgore). This results in +8 to area level by the end of the interludes.
Resistance penalties are based on zone level, as follows:
- Level 54-59: -40%
- Level 60-64: -50%
- Level 65+: -60%
The Interlude will only be available during Early Access, serving to fill the gap between Act 4 and endgame. They will be removed with the release of Acts 5 and 6.
