Hello all and happy Tuesday! We’ve got some more Secrets of the Obscure information for you today! Click here to read about the demonic forces awaiting you–the Kryptis–and the rifts that they come from. Once you’ve read through, let us know your thoughts!

Oh, by the way, I’ve got a few extra pieces of information for you about rift hunting! (These will make more sense after you read the blog, so maybe do that first.)

First, rifts do not have cooldowns, so if you want to set a personal best for Number of Kryptis Destroyed, we’ve got you covered.

Second, you can begin a rift hunt in any map that has rift activity. If you happen to be in a map that does not have rift activity, the Heart of the Obscure will help you find one so you donh’t spend valuable Kryptis-destroying time searching.

Third, there are multiple tiers of rifts. The first and easiest tier is intended to be completed by a solo player. (Second-tier rifts are potentially soloable as well, but it will certainly be a challenge.) That said, rift difficulty and rewards scale with group size, so you can always take on first tier rifts with a group if you prefer!

I hope you’re looking forward to this part of Secrets of the Obscure! Thanks as always for reading and for sharing your feedback!
