Skills
Phase 1
Phase 2
The player is teleported to a very large arena covered in a maze of thick vines which cannot be crossed with cultist enemies scattered throughout. Players constantly receive stacks of Branching Affliction, a debuff that deals physical and chaos damage over time. Follow the Sacred Wisps' path towards the large purple portal back to the arena.
Unlike in Path of Exile, the maze phase cannot be bypassed by dying or logging out. Logging in to town/hideout will consume a respawn attempt.
