Walkthrough[edit]
Astral Purifiers[edit]
Players must interact with each purifier and complete the minigame before the 
Time Running Out effect runs out. Additionally, three Avatar of Spite will spawn (only a single one will spawn at the lone purifier after the second hazard filled corridor) and will explode and interrupt these players upon reaching them, this can be mitigated with stability or by killing the Avatar of Spite. Each purifier requires 10 correct inputs to complete.
Fire
Cerus & Deimos[edit]
The player closest to each boss will receive either the 
Cerus's Focus or Deimos's Focus effect. The fixated players must separate both bosses to prevent them from gaining the 
Brothers United effect.
Achievement Eligibility: Brothers, Together
Eparch[edit]
The arrow attack corrupts boons on-hit. It may be dodged by dodging forward into Eparch.
Globules of emotion will spawn after Eparch uses attacks. Each attack has a corresponding emotion. Collecting globules of one emotion will provide the respective attunement effect. Collecting globules of other emotions will each remove a stack of any existing attunement before granting the respective attunement.
When his defiance bar unlocks, Eparch gains permanent barrier and consumes all current globules, gaining the respective empowerment listed below. Successfully breaking the bar will remove varying stacks of each empowerment depending on the fractal tier. Concurrently, Eparch will target one player with the 
Consume effect. The targeted player's attunement stacks will first be depleted before applying permanent stacks of the 
Consumed effect. Interacting with any globule removes one stack each.

Dialogue[edit]
Entering the fractal[edit]
- Dessa: Careful, this one is active.
- Dessa: What... What is this place? I can't place it anywhere in Tyria...
- Dagda: Mabon. Isgarren. Pick a god and thank her for your survival...
- Mabon: Where are the others?
- Dagda: Dead.
- Isgarren: All of them?
- Dagda: Akeem and Vass. Waiting Sorrow is fine, but... Shes's in shock. Won't speak. Or move.
- Mabon: Isgarren, I'm so—
- Isgarren: We don't have time to mourn. If this wound continues to hemorrhage, we're all dead.
- Isgarren: I'll look for the rotten imp. Carve a path forward.
- Mabon: Ward, with us. Dagda, come.
- Mabon: I don't know this magic that blocks our path...
Entering the purifier room[edit]
- Dagda: There they are. The ones that killed Vass.
After clearing the purifier room and going back to your allies[edit]
- Mabon: Ah, you all made it. Good.
- Mabon: Stay close. Eyes up.
After the final purifier[edit]
- Mabon: Whenever you're ready.
After completing the fractal[edit]
- Eparch: Cling to your valiance, Isgarren. One day I will rip it from your fingers.
- Mabon: Eparch...? That was Eparch? You described a monster, not an army of them.
- Isgarren: He's been busy.
- Mabon: Will he come back?.
- Isgarren: With even more fodder. But there's no telling what that might be.
- Isgarren: We should tend to our wounded- where is Dagda?
- Mabon: Isgarren-
- Isgarren: No. There's nothing we can discuss that will make these next moments easier.
