  • Time remaining: 0:30

Walkthrough[edit]

The goal is to bring Offerings to Wolverine from any of two maze entrances to the shrine in the middle. Any Toxic Frostcaps on the way to the middle have to be avoided, otherwise they taint the offering and require the player to get another at the beginning. Toxic Frostcaps that spawn in a cluster are permanent, but Toxic Frostcaps that spawn as single stems will despawn. While holding the offering in the maze, the effect Darkness.png Encroaching Darkness is applied to you, disabling your weapon skills and any portals. The darkness effect causes your vision to progressively dim and will eventually defeat you. Patrolling Boneskinners will chase any players in their marked aggro range and instantly defeat those they catch. Defeated players are sent to any of the two entrances to the maze. A Bouncing Mushroom near the shrine provides a quick exit to either beginning with which to repeat the run until the event is completed.

Each entrance has a nearby Raven Barrier Shrine. Activating them gives the Collected the Forgotten Lights.png Raven's Warmth effect which prevents the darkness from being applied to you, although this will not stop Boneskinners from attacking you. Lamps inside the maze apply the Lantern Light.png Lantern Light effect, removing the darkness and shielding you from the patrolling Boneskinners while you stay in their area.

Teleportation skills such as  Shadowstep.png Shadowstep and  Blink.png Blink can get you past a Boneskinner. Boneskinners will also not aggro stealthed characters, so equipping utility skills that provide Stealth.png Stealth will also help.

It is also possible to manipulate a Boneskinner’s movements by deliberately stepping into its aggro range to get it to chase you and then quickly diving into the safety of a nearby lantern, cancelling its aggro. This can be used to change the direction of its patrol or speed it on its way.

The vine walls' locations during the event.

Mechanics[edit]

Originally, there are no vine walls within the sanctuary, so players can use whatever path they want. After the event bar has filled 25% of the way, the two interior circle walls appear. Then, when reaching 75%, two additional exterior vine walls appear. Finally, each run after 75% will swap the walls, their new locations are simply their vertical mirror reflection of the previous one.

Dialogue[edit]

Countdown to event start
Vigil Shaman: It pains me to see our great Spirits like this. Taken by the dragon, their power siphoned like water.
Wolverine Shaman: We must all remember that Wolverine calls for valor in the face of tribulation. Your grandmother knew that.
Vigil Shaman: She never had to see Wolverine like this. Sometimes...I wish the dragon had destroyed him. To save him from this fate.
Wolverine Shaman: Wolverine fights until he can fight no more. So we will purify this shrine as many times as it takes.
Event start
Vigil Shaman: Wolverine stirs. Begin the ritual!
During event
Vigil Shaman: We must calm Wolverine's corrupted spirit! Please, take whatever offerings you can to his shrine within this forest!
Vigil Shaman: Wolverine has forgotten the meaning of valor! It's up to us to remind him!
Vigil Shaman: The great Spirit isn't rejecting your offerings. This is good!
Vigil Shaman: Each new offering you bring demonstrates true valor to Wolverine. Keep going!
Vigil Shaman: There, do you feel it? The whispers grow quiet! Just a bit longer!
Vigil Shaman: The corruption is nearly cleansed! Just a few more offerings!
Event success
Vigil Shaman: Is it done? I don't feel the corruption anymore.
One of the following:
Wolverine Shaman: For the moment, yes. Wolverine still does not remember his true purpose...but I am glad we saved his shrine.
Wolverine Shaman: Yes, it is—though I fear not for long. Wolverine is strong, but the ice dragon's pull is...stronger.
Vigil Shaman: Then we will stay here. Purify Wolverine's shrine as often as we must. Perhaps there is still hope.
