Fate Chart stage: Torrent
Full Fate Chart →The Web of Fate continues to tremble, sounding an increasingly urgent warning: Fueled by the ongoing Soul Harvest, the Velgr have spiraled into utter madness. They are exhausting every resource at their disposal, desperate to turn Hallowgrove and Brandrgarde into a spawning burial ground for their soul experiments. Stop them once and for all, Gyldhunters! The Divine Anchor teeters on the brink of collapse, and the silhouette of a "False God" is gradually taking shape within the torrent of souls. Should we fail this battle, the Web of Fate will suffer catastrophic damage.
- ›All Gyldhunters must collectively accumulate 500,000,000 progress to unlock the next stage.
When the stage ends
The torrent of souls has gradually subsided. The Velgr's experimental plans have taken a devastating blow at the hands of the Gyldhunters, allowing more lost souls to return to the Web of Fate. However, monsters lurking in the deepest reaches of the forbidden zones have been startled awake by the aftershocks of the Soul Hunts, dragging even more regions into fresh chaos!
The Elite Speed Challenge gameplay is now available.

Stinger's Request
Find Stinger and share Máni's vision with him.
- ›Talk to Stinger
Máni once exhausted every option searching for a way to save the world and bring an end to the Mistfall, only to ultimately embark on a path of no return. Upon learning that she wished to exile her soul for eternity, Stinger became even more resolute in his conviction: no matter what sins she had committed, she belonged back in the Web of Fate, to find true rest alongside the other departed.
Requires: Facing Máni

Preserving the Truth

Dew's Judgment
Deliver the recovered records to Dew so she can determine if this evidence is authentic.

- ›Within the first 300 seconds of the match, participate in defeating 1 Gyldhunter(s) (Shared by Team)
