Dungeon Details
Realms
[The Shattered Grove] has one difficulty mode, but features five different Realms. Each Realm applies unique effects to players or monsters, altering the way encounters unfold. You may select a Realm by interacting with the crystal inside the instance.
Available Realms:
- Realm 21384: All combat speeds are reduced by 15%.
- Realm 4: Continuous drain of class resources and HP.
- Realm 58676234: Hallucinations appear, spawning hostile mobs on random players.
- Realm 9125: Weapon Corruption effects are disabled.

Running different Realms allows you to vary gameplay and avoid repetitive runs.
Bosses
[The Shattered Grove] features four boss encounters. The first, second, and final bosses are always the same, while the third boss is randomly selected, making each run unique.
Available bosses:
- [Vhalrik]: A knight erased from all timelines, his form flickering between past and present as corrupted shadows trail behind him.
- [Veltharion]: A fractured sovereign unbound by time, whose presence distorts memory and space itself.
- [Eloria]: Once bound to [Skaldrin] through [Thalyss]’ ritual, her form was torn apart by grief when the Rift shattered their bond.
- [Skaldrin]: A warrior left behind when [Eloria] was torn away, his grief shifting between rage and despair.
- [Eryndor]: The final boss and the living manifestation of the Rift, a fracture that should never have existed.
Corruption System
All armor and weapons obtained from [The Shattered Grove] are connected to the Corruption System.
You can shuffle item stats in the same manner as [Orkham] equipment, allowing further customization and optimization of gear.
