Recommended progression path after the campaign
Level 40 and normal gear
Congratulations on completing the campaign. The board next to Almerolis should be unlocked, take a look at the requirements of Adam Nostrus’ Trials Part 1.
This is a good time to browse for end game builds as the stats you craft on your gear at the end of this section depends on the build you have chosen. If your chosen build uses a skill which you do not have mastery levels in, this is the time to level that skill, equip it in your secondary slot for it to gain mastery levels. Same for specialisation, this is a good time to level up a new specialisation.
Do not swap reapers until your current reaper reaches level 50.
- Head to the Mage Academy at the bottom left of the town. Select mission 4: Temppopotamus Bastion. Tick match my level. Enter.
- Rush straight to the 3 chaos wave breaches and trigger all of them at once. Kill all the enemies, loot and use the leave expedition button to leave.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you are level 40. Doing this will give you a good starting pool of crafting resources and a huge amount of slorm.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 while looting a full set of magic gear that is level 36 or higher.
- Head to the blacksmith to craft them. Reforge normal stats and defensive stats only, go for the basic mods that your build needs such as raw/elemental damage, armour, elemental resistance, evasion, max life or max mana. Do note that you can scroll down in the crafting options. Some gear types come with 2 normal stats, use the lock function if you have to before reforging.
- If your build requires life leech, reforge the magic stat on your gloves. If your build requires mana leech, reforge the magic stat on your bracers.
- You are now geared and ready to take on the Adam Nostrus Trials’ 1.
Rank 3 Ultimatum of Indisputed Speed
In this section, you will be farming battlefield for elder slorm to enter the slorm temple, pushing to floor 20 of the slorm temple to unlock the movement speed ultimatum and upgrading it to rank 3. This is the best ultimatum for mid game as it lets you zoom through the battlefield and slorm temple faster.
In between runs, if your gear reaches full potential, reinforce it at Rick in town up to +6.
Do not swap reapers until your current reaper reaches level 50.
- Talk to Almerolis at the top right in town. Select battlefield. Select wrath 1. Select battlefield journey (the left arrow) for random and everchanging environment & boss events. Enter.
- Ignore monsters on the way, only kill any elites you encounter. Rush to breaches, trigger and clear them. You should ignore chaos wave breaches as they are a huge waste of time. Check this section to learn how to recognise different breach types.
- When you have cleared up to 5 breaches below the number of breaches available on the floor, interact with a closed breach to open a portal. Skip the remaining breaches and head to the next floor.
- Repeat until you have reached a boss floor. After killing the boss, if your elder slorm is full, leave through the portal. Otherwise, keep going.
- Talk to Olorin to unlock the slorm temple. Talk to Almerolis. Select the slorm temple. Enter. Clear rooms until you reach the end. There is a small chance for pure slorm to spawn when you trigger a room, it is not marked on the minimap so keep a look out for it.
- Keep pushing to higher floors until you run out of elder slorm. Talk to Olorin. Purchase the upgrades in the following order: upgrade movement speed ultimatum > upgrade elder slorm capacity > upgrade elder slorm find
- Repeat steps 1 to 6 until your movement speed ultimatum is rank 3. Congratulations, you have cleared 1 Adam Nostrus’ Trials 1 requirement!
Activation & Effect Runes
In this section, you will be farming battlefield for elder slorm to enter the forge, and farming the forge to unlock runes that your build uses.
In between runs, if your gear reaches full potential, reinforce it at Rick in town up to +6.
Do not swap reapers until your current reaper reaches level 50.
- Talk to Almerolis at the top right in town. Select battlefield. Select wrath 1. Select battlefield journey (the left arrow) for random and everchanging environment & boss events. Enter.
- Ignore monsters on the way, only kill any elites you encounter. Rush to breaches, trigger and clear them. You should ignore chaos wave breaches as they are a huge waste of time.
- When you have cleared up to 5 breaches below the number of breaches available on the floor, interact with a closed breach to open a portal. Skip the remaining breaches and head to the next floor.
- Repeat until you have reached a boss floor. After killing the boss, if your elder slorm is full, leave through the portal. Otherwise, keep going.
- Talk to Cory Ironbender in town to unlock the forge. Talk to Almerolis. Select forge. Select wrath -. Enter.
- Keep clearing waves until the siege leader spawns. Kill the siege leader, collect the rune from the well-deserved rest, open the war chest and claim it, exit. You can use the leave expedition key bind instead of clicking on the next wave button.
The siege leader only spawns once per run, can only spawn during wave numbers in multiples of 5 and the spawn chance is equal to the current wave plus any additional chance from wave options.
Prioritise options that give additional siege leader spawn chance and reapersmith spirits that are used to upgrade your runes and reaper affinity. - Repeat steps 1 to 6 until you have unlocked the runes your build uses.
This may be very grindy or fast depending on your luck, but none of the time spent is wasted. You are earning extra crafting materials, reapersmith spirits, goldus, slorm, skill mastery levels and gear potential while farming in the forge.
You will eventually want to unlock all runes so that the siege leader reward options are replaced by legendary reward options. Some example screenshots of the juicy rewards it can offer:
- Talk to Cory Ironbender in town to upgrade your runes and reaper affinity. Upgrade your rune to at least rank 3. Congratulations, you have completed another Adam Nostrus’ Trials 1 requirement.

Ultimatum of Infinite Wisdom & Reaper farming
In this section, you will continue farming battlefield for elder slorm and pushing to higher floors in the slorm temple.
The goal for this section is to max the rank of the exp ultimatum in preparation for the levelling section later, as well as to farm for the reaper that your build uses. Reaper drops from breaches and slorm temple rooms. The reaper drop chance increases after each breach or room cleared up to 100%, and resets to 0 after a reaper drops.
Equip the movement speed ultimatum for faster clearing speed.
In between runs, if your gear reaches full potential, reinforce it at Rick in town up to +7.
- Talk to Almerolis at the top right in town. Select battlefield. Select wrath 2. Select careful examination (the right arrow). Select any environment you prefer. I highly suggest prison. Enter.

- Repeat steps 1 to 6 until you have found the reaper you want, and max the ranks of the exp & movement speed ultimatum.
Primordial Reaper
In this section, you will be farming battlefield for elder slorm to enter the forge, and farming the forge for reapersmith spirits to upgrade your runes and reaper affinity.
In between runs, if your gear reaches full potential, reinforce it at Rick in town up to +8.
In between runs, talk to Cory Ironbender in town to upgrade your runes and reaper affinity.
- Farm battlefield until you have double the amount of elder slorm required to enter wrath 2 forge.
Equip the movement speed ultimatum for faster clearing speed. - Enter wrath 2 forge, and open 4 gates.
This has double the cost, but enemies now spawn from 4 gates, making the run way faster.
Clear all 100 waves, prioritising reapersmith spirits required for upgrading your runes and reaper affinity.
Equip the exp ultimatum for more exp. - Repeat until your reaper turns primordial.
Level 80 and rare gear
It is time to upgrade your gear again.
Equip the exp ultimatum, head back to the mage academy temppopotamus bastion and level there until you reach level 80.
Alternatively, level in the forge until level 80.
Talk to Jemma in town, go to her second tab, buy random containers until you have a full set of level 80 gear.
Head to the blacksmith to craft your gear. Add and reforge normal, defensive, magic and rare stats on your gear. This will be the gear set used for pushing into the end game.
Do a few Temppopotamus Bastion runs to reinforce your gear to +3 for a quick boost.
Adam Nostrus
In this section, you will aim to upgrade your gear to +10 in preparation for the boss fight.
- Repeat forge runs. You should be able to handle wrath 4 and above with 6 gates open.
Always choose the “25% of the Slorm you should loot is converted into Elder Slorm” reward in the forge if possible when it appears, this gives a huge amount of elder slorm that will allow you to sustain your elder slorm cost and remove the need to farm battlefield ever again.
If you lack elder slorm, farm battlefield. - Repeat until you complete the following:
- Reach level 100
- Reinforce your gear up to +10
- Update your gear up to level 100. Craft the slormandrite of true potential using fragments at the blacksmith if you have to, this takes priority over adding and rerolling epic stats onto your gear.
- Craft +2 mastery to your main damage dealing skill on all your gear
- Craft +3 attributes on all your gear
- Craft a total of +50 affinity to your equipped reaper on all your gear. Check the “by xxx” in your reaper description for which affinity to get.
- Craft epic stats on all your gear. Craft epic slormeline using rare fragments and slormeline. Only begin crafting epic slormeline using epic fragments after you have updated all your gear to level 100.
- Reforge score until they are all max score. Use the reforge all scores option at the top combined with locking to save cost.
- Reach rank 15 on all your equipped runes.
- Reach 100 affinity for your equipped reaper at cory ironbender
- Time to fight Adam Nostrus.
Enter the portal right of Adam Nostrus.
Defeat Adam Nostrus. His skills are a combination of all the skills you have encountered during the 5 Act Boss fights, you should be familiar with them.
The most dangerous skills to avoid are the rotating laser beams and the row of fireballs.
Try to place the dot ground at the corners or edge of the arena.
With a decent build and level 100 +10 gear, you should be able to take down Adam Nostrus.
Congratulations, you should have cleared the entire Adam Nostrus’ Trials 2! Talk to Adam Nostrus to claim your 8th Ancestral Stone and unlock part 3 of the trials.
The 8th green stone is special, you can socket it into any node on the Ancestral Legacy Tree without having to connect it to previous nodes.
Level 100 Legendary Gear
In this section, you will be exploring the netherworld to find the legendaries used in your build. In between runs, if you feel that the build is too weak to handle wrath 7 warlords, do a few wrath 5 or higher forge runs to upgrade your gear.
There are two options here for legendary gear. The first is to target farm for legendaries in the netherworld, then craft it back up to +10 and beyond.
The second option is to add them directly to your current gear and reforge them into the legendary effect you want. Skip step 1 and go straight to step 2 for the second option.
- Talk to Almerolis, select Netherworld, expand the map. Search for your target legendary using the search box at the top right.
The list of possible rewards rerolls every time you clear a cataclysmic expedition or a warlord.
If the target legendary appears at a warlord you have unlocked and can defeat, select it, enter and defeat it.
If the target legendary appears at a warlord you have yet to unlock or cannot defeat, you can continue to unlock more cataclysms or run the expedition that gives x2 nether charge to reroll the rewards.
There are 6 legendaries in the list of possible rewards.
When you defeat the warlord, 3 of 6 listed legendary possible rewards will appear in the reward options. You can reroll them for the other 3 listed legendaries possible rewards to appear.
This means that you should always prepare at least 300 000 slorm before you fight a warlord to get the legendary you want. Refund slorm that you dumped into extra skill or ancestral legacy upgrades if you have to.
Do note that some warlords have 7 possible rewards, which means that you might not 100% get what you wanted through rerolling of rewards as you can only find 6 out of the 7 possible rewards.
Repeat the above until you have collected all the legendaries your build uses. - Repeat forge runs until you complete the goals below. You should be able to clear w10 forge when you have completed the goals below.
- All your legendaries are +12 reinforcement and level 100.
- All normal, defense, magic, rare, epic, legendary effects, reaper affinity and attributes on your gear are correct.
- All the stats are rolled to max roll, use the reroll all scores option at the top combined with locking for cheaper rolling. This is relatively cheap.
- All skill upgrades are unlocked and fully upgraded for 4000 raw damage.
If your build does elemental damage, upgrade all ancestral legacy passives instead for 4000 elemental damage. - All runes your build uses are fully upgraded.
- Reaper affinity your build uses is fully upgraded to level 100 at Cory Ironbender.
Ohm Agard
In this section, you will be unlocking the final boss and fighting it.
- Unlock all cataclysms and warlords by defeating them at least once. This should be doable on your level 100 +12 legendary gear set. If it is not doable, you might have to consider farming for nether gear then crafting it to level 120 and reinforcing it to at least +12. Nether gear allows for 3 grafts which will result in a stronger build through more efficient combinations of legendary effects.
- Once you have cleared all the cataclysms and warlords, talk to Adam Nostrus. This will unlock the final boss Ohm Agad.
Enter the fight through the castle doors.
Defeat Ohm Agad. This fight should be relatively easy compared to certain warlords…
Keep an eye on the life bar, when it reaches the cataclysm mark, it will remove all of your life, shield and thornbite protection. When that happens, rush to open all 6 breaches while dodging attacks, this will summon enemies for you to kill to restore your life, shield or thornbite protection.
CONGRATULATIONS FOR BEATING THE GAME!!!
After this point, everything is done for the sake of min maxing or experiencing the game with nether gear.
Pure Stat Max Score and Chance
In this section, you will be farming for pure slorm in the slorm temple. This is to prepare for the next section where you farm for pure stats gear to use as feed for grafting onto nether gear.
If you have trouble with the laser beams in the slorm temple, upgrade Temple Defenses Damage to take less damage. I did not bother upgrading Temple Defenses at all. It took me a run from floor 151 to 250 (32421 elder slorm cost) and a repeat run from floor 190 to 250 (21170 elder slorm cost) to fully upgrade the 4 things below.
Repeat until you have fully upgraded the following (in order of priority):
- Elder Slorm Capacity. This should have been fully upgraded in previous sections.
- Elder Slorm Find. This is optional, you can ignore this as you should no longer need to manually farm elder slorm in the battlefield. You should be able to earn enough elder slorm from forge runs. If you still lack elder slorm you can transform your excess slorm to elder slorm at Olorin. If you lack both elder slorm and slorm, too bad, you will have to go back to manually farming for elder slorm in the battlefield.
- Pure Stat Max Score. This is important to fully upgrade, you will want to only use max score pure stats for grafting for perfect items.
- Pure Stat Chance.
Nether Gear without any pure stats
In this section, you will be farming for pure stats and nether gear in the primordial netherworld to craft a basic nether gear set.
Primordial netherworld will be way more difficult with your non-nether non-pure +12 gear, you might not be able to clear all cataclysmic expeditions and warlords.
This is an intermediate step, you can skip it if you want to. Or even do this intermediate step but grafting the nether gear with non-max-score-pure-stats instead of non-pure-stats.
EDIT YOUR LOOT FILTER TO SHOW PURE STATS. I highly recommend that you also use the highlighted stats system to reduce sorting time and wasted stash space.
- Clear as many cataclysmic expeditions as possible for your build in the primordial netherworld.
- Clear cataclysmic expeditions that have increased drop rate for the pure stats your build wants. If it happens to be at an expedition your build cannot clear, go for a random expedition or the x2 nether charge expedition.
You might not be using the pure stats that you looted for crafting in this section. This step is mainly done for filling the nether charge bar. You can instead fully focus on running only x2 nether charge expeditions if you wish to rush through this section.
Repeat until your nether charge bar is full. - Hunt primordial warlords that you are able to defeat for a full set of nether gear. Check their list of possible rewards when choosing a warlord to fight. For example, if you are looking for nether gloves, fight the warlord with the most number of gloves in their list of possible rewards.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have a full set of nether gear. If you get any extra, stash it, you will need another set of nether gear later.
- Hunt warlords or primordial warlords for any legendary that your build requires for grafting. Repeat this until you have all the legendaries you need.
- Craft your basic nether gear set and equip it.
- Repeat forge runs to reinforce them to +15 and beyond. Congratulations, you are pretty much at the end game, anything beyond this section is into the min-maxing territory.
Nether Gear with triple max score pure stats
In this section, you will be farming for pure stats and nether gear in the primordial netherworld to craft a triple pure stats nether gear set.
Set the filter to only show pure stats that are max score and highlighted stat. Go to your character info sheet to highlight the stats you want as pure stats.
- Hunt in the cataclysms expeditions for the max score pure stats you want. Repeat until your nether charge bar is full.
- Hunt primordial warlords that you are able to defeat for a full set of nether gear. Check their list of possible rewards when choosing a warlord to fight. For example, if you are looking for nether gloves, fight the warlord with the most number of gloves in their list of possible rewards.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have a full set of nether gear.
- Hunt in the cataclysms expeditions for the max score pure stats you want. Repeat this until you have all the pure stats your build wants.
- Craft your triple pure stats nether gear set.
- Repeat forge runs to reinforce them to +15 and beyond.
