Health and attack rise with the zone’s intensity, and elites and bosses carry far more of both in a 3-player raid than solo. Kill XP runs the other way — a solo kill is worth roughly triple, though in a squad every living teammate is paid the same amount. Defence, crit damage and block rate don’t change. Full XP tables are on the progression page.

In the story

Gyldhunter, go put an end to the horrific aftermath of these experiments—General Harald. Bloodshed is the only salvation left for him. The General's shattered body is sealed in the Main Hall. Intruders will shatter his final dream, granting him true death. (You may choose to put an end to General Harald, or challenge the Flesheater, or Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane. They too await your judgment.)
Secrets · Lay Them to Rest
The creation born of dreams has blossomed into a flower of pure malice, bleeding a corruption over Hallowgrove and Brandrgarde no less devastating than Gyldenization. She lingers within the Divine Anchor, newly awakened from her long slumber. Who awakened her? And who will cast her back into eternal sleep? (You may choose to put an end to Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane, or challenge General Harald or the Flesheater. They too await your judgment.)
Soul Experiment · End the Cataclysm
The soul drifting within the mist is heavily laden with the divine power of Kjernnos. If it is not purged in time, the divine blood will morph into an agonizing curse. The Flesheater may appear in the Sealed Grounds or the Main Hall. Gyldhunter, check the map to locate him. (You may choose to put an end to the Flesheater, or challenge General Harald, or Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane. They too await your judgment.)
