Notes[edit]
- The appearance of a rift is announced via an on-screen, map-wide message stating "An active disturbance has been detected!".
- There is always one event active on the map. Should one be completed or time out, a new one will immediately spawn in the other four locations.
- The locations do not have a fixed sequence, so it is possible that the event will respawn in a recently cleared location.
- The two western locations are visible north of
Venta Pass Waypoint — , while the other three locations are visible after climbing the cliff south of Yatendi Village Waypoint — - with the top of the Rilohn River bubble visible in the distance to the north.
- Entering the event bubble gives you
5 Confusion. - Event scaling can lead to multiple incursions and Tethered Riftstalkers may occur within a single rift event.
- Should the event fail, the area around will be under the Shattered Reality effect:
- This area has been destabilized due to Branded incursions. Prevent Branded invasions to repair damage to the world.
