- Build Pack-a-Punch.
- Place the relic on the stone in front of Pack-a-Punch to start a cutscene.
- Once the cutscene is finished, interact with the portal near the relic to teleport to the Dark Aether.
- After surviving in the Dark Aether for a few minutes, all players will be downed and returned to the Eastern Desert.
- Obtain a Shovel from one of the following locations:
- You must now complete three trials: Trial of Mindfulness, Trial of Resilience, and Trial of Sacrifice. These can be done in any order.
Trial of Mindfulness
- Dig around the Obelisk in 'Merchant Road' to find a red orb.
- Interact with the Red Orb to make it show symbols. Stand on the runes matching the order and symbols shown on the wall. Bug: If you can't interact with the orb, go down and get revived to fix it.
- If done correctly, you'll need to survive a timed challenge.
- Complete the challenge, then repeat for two more rounds of symbol matching and challenges (three symbols, then four, then five).
- Once all three rounds are complete, interact with the Obelisk to start the Trial of Mindfulness.
- Capture runes without killing zombies. If you fail, you can try again next round.
- Once completed, bonus points and full armour power-ups will drop.
Trial of Resilience
- Navigate to the 'Debris Field' and shoot one of the three Dark Aether Crystals outside the playable area until one spawns an orb, which will move to a wall near the Decimator Shield.
- Locate and return three cursed items to the orb. Picking one up disables sprint and starts a challenge. Return each item to the orb without failing. The locations are:
- Once all items are returned, the Decimator Shield will become available for pickup.
- Interact with the Obelisk to start the Trial Of Resilience.
- The player must destroy Syphoncores using the Decimator Shield's special ability (Slam) and deliver Demon Blood to the empty Demonic Fountain. Demon Blood can be picked up from the destroyed syphoncores.
- Three Syphoncores need to be destroyed:
- Once the Demonic Fountain is filled, bonus points, full armour, max ammo, and full power drops will spawn.
Trial of Sacrifice
- Obtain three Molotov Cocktails from the wallbuy in Merchant Road West or from a Workbench.
- Navigate to 'Derailment' and use the Molotovs to light three torches as fast as possible:
- If the torches are lit at the same time, a red orb will spawn near the third torch.
- The orb will ask you to sacrifice a Pack-a-Punched weapon (you won't get it back). Your cheapest option is a blue (PAP level 1) wallbuy weapon or a PAP'd weapon from the box, since both are cheaper than upgrading at the machine.
- After sacrificing the weapon, you will lose all your armour and an Uberkrieger will spawn.
- Once killed, the orb will move to the Obelisk, which can be interacted with.
- To complete the trial, you will need the Ring of Fire Field Upgrade. There is a stone next to where the orb was that will allow you to change your field upgrade into Ring of Fire.
- Interact with the Obelisk to start the Trial of Sacrifice.
- At any time during the trial, kill five zombies near the Obelisk to spawn a Full Power.
- Several other Obelisks will spawn around the area. You must get six kills near each of the Obelisks while standing in the Ring of Fire.
- Once an obelisk is charged, a beam of light will connect it to the central obelisk.
- Once all the obelisks are charged, bonus points, full armour, max ammo and full power drops will spawn.
Warning: Point of No Return. Once you interact with the portal, you will be put into the Boss Fight. The Decimator Shield is highly recommended to counter Kortifex's attack during the Boss Fight.
- Interact with the Portal near Pack-a-Punch to enter the Boss Fight.
Boss Fight
Phase 1
- Shoot Kortifex's upper eye while evading his attacks and other enemies. Once the eye is destroyed, phase two begins and you'll be teleported to another area.
Phase 2
- Shoot the Dark Aether crystals found on the ground around the area to spawn a red Crystal Shard.
- Throw the red Crystal Shards into the Purple Pods to convert it into blue Corrupted Crystal Shards. The conversion process takes about 20-30 seconds.
- Throw the blue shard at one of the floating pillars in the sky. The pillar will crash into the Construct, disabling Kortifex's bubble shield so you can shoot his other two eyes.
- Once another eye is destroyed, phase three begins and you'll be teleported to another area.
Phase 3
- The third phase is identical to the second phase, except this time Kortifex can heal himself.
- To stop Kortifex from healing, hit him with the floating pillars in the sky.
- Once the final eye is destroyed, a short conversation plays and all players are rewarded: the "There Archon Be Only One" calling card, the Wunderwaffe DG-2, five Sacrificial Hearts, and one tier upgrade for each perk held during the fight.
