[Red Outpost]
New: Arena of Darkness (Temporal Rift)
A new, harder 6 player Matriarch Aurora encounter has been added to the Temporal Rift: Arena of Darkness. It’s intended to be tougher than standard Matriarch Aurora, but not as punishing as Scarra or Carmine. It features a 2 hour lockout and a weekly personal loot mission, and is accessible after beating the first stage of The Fighting Pits.
