Pack-A-Punch Quest
Hold out in the house until you've collected enough Essence to open the first door.
Head downstairs on round 3, when the phone will ring. Answer it to trigger a cutscene that opens the front door.
Tip
Before heading outside, shoot the basketball inside the house (through the broken window in the center) to start the grapple upgrade quest. This needs to be done before you leave the house through the portal.
Head outside and enter the portal to leave the house for the Nexus Forge.
Place the World Seed on the central platform, then destroy the Dread Skulls.
Follow a Dread Skull into Veytharion's Temple and keep shooting it until it pops, then pick up the Usurped Flame.
Head back to the central platform and throw the Usurped Flame into the Brazier.
Follow the second Dread Skull into Caltheris' Temple and repeat the process.
Crank both wheels on the Nexus Forge. The platform lowers into a staircase and Pack-a-Punch opens.
Upgrade
Void Talon (Grapple Upgrade)
Shoot the basketball inside the house, through the broken window in the center.
You get 1 symbol at the end of each round, 4 in total. Flip rounds until you have 4 blue symbols on the house. No symbol appears if anyone is inside the house at the end of the round.
Wait for an Exfil round, then shoot the symbols in the order they appeared.
Ring the phone booth and complete the HVT. You can then teleport back to the house.
Tip
Make sure you already have the Warden's Blight in hand before you teleport back to the house on the Exfil, since you'll need it for the next step. If you miss the window and don't collect the Eye of the Forge before leaving the house, you can just repeat the steps and try again on the next Exfil round.
Inside the house, go upstairs and look through the zombie spawn next to the bed. Shoot the ground in the zombie spawn with the Charged Warden's Blight and pick up the Eye of the Forge.
Take the Eye of the Forge to a grapple station and empower it. This upgrades the Void Claw into the Void Talon.
The Temples
The four temples below can be completed in any order.
Inside Veytharion's Temple, pick up the 4 Stone Blocks (hold interact to move them): Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. Death Perception makes them easier to spot.
In Veytharion Sanctuary, slot all 4 blocks into the wall on the left side. The starting order can be any of the following: Water, Earth, Air, Fire • Earth, Water, Air, Fire • Fire, Air, Water, Earth • Fire, Air, Earth, Water.
Transfer all 4 cubes to the other side safely. Once the Air cube has been moved to the middle bridge, you can melee the dial above to send a cube of your choice across.
Warning
Fire can never be left alone with Water or Earth. Air is safe with everything and works as your buffer.
Once all four blocks are in place, pick up Fire first.
Move Fire and Air to the right side, then leave Fire there.
Go back to the left with Air, and grab either Water or Earth.
Head to the right again. Put down Air first to create a buffer with Fire, then deposit your Water or Earth block.
Pick up Fire first, then Air, and bring them both back over to the left side.
Put down Air to create a buffer, then place Fire. Grab your remaining Water or Earth block, then Air, and bring them back to the right.
Deposit your remaining block, then head back and grab Fire. Place Air down first, then Fire on top, to finish.
Reward
Once the mini-game is done, the wall opens to reveal a Well/Portal and a free Perk Power-Up.
In Caltheris' Main Chamber, near the Ammo Crate, find the 4 stone squares set into the floor.
Stand on the squares from left to right. 4 yellowish lights will appear. Shoot each one.
Once you've stood on all the squares and shot all the lights, the wall to your right opens, revealing a Lantern and 2 Purple Orbs.
Note
These orbs circle around spawn, likely just an extra way to grab more orbs early.
Find the Fractures of Nyxara, crystals on the wall with a clock-hand pointer, and use the Void Claw to rotate them.
One Fracture is hidden above the entrance of Dravakar's Temple, inside a wall. PhD Flopper through the wall to reveal it.
Use the Astral Flame to shoot a fireball at the eye, lighting it up. This sends purple balls bouncing around the room off the Fractures.
Use the Void Claw to rotate the crystals and redirect the purple ball to the marked door. You can also place a missing crystal onto an empty claw and pick it back up.
Go up to the orb in the new room. You'll fall into Nyxara's Inner Sanctum.
Walk to the large vine in the middle of the room. It will slowly drain your life, and when it is charged, you can interact with it to enter The Forest.

Wonder Weapon
Warden's Blight
In the Forest, interact with a charred body in the middle near a rock to trigger a mini-cutscene and receive a piece of the Warden's Blight.
Find the second charred body near a cave entrance and interact with it for another mini-cutscene and piece.
Melee the floorboards of the house for a final mini-cutscene and the last piece.
To re-enter the Forest, flip the round and eat the seed.
Once you have all 3 Warden's Blight parts, head back to Dravakar's Temple and go to the Secret Passage. Grapple up to build the Warden's Blight.
Tip
To skip the Warden's voicelines, walk backwards at the beginning of the mini cutscene to immediately grab the part
Corruptions
Shimmering Thread, Ancient Scroll, The Hammer & Woven Sash
For the Shimmering Thread (used at Caltheris): use the Void Claw to pull in a Purple Orb and interact with it to loot its motes. The Shimmering Thread is guaranteed once you have looted 16 purple orb motes (8 in Directed mode).
For the Ancient Scroll (used at Nyxara): put Shadow Rift on your weapon, then head to the Forest and get a few kills with the ammo mod. A reward sound will play and the Ancient Scroll will drop on the floor after 8 Shadow Rift kills in the Forest. After the first drop, a re-drop takes 4 kills.
For The Hammer (used at Dravakar): put Shatterblast on your weapon, then head to the Wonder Weapon Forge Room in Dravakar's Temple. The Hammer is behind one of the Viking shields on the wall. Kill zombies with Shatterblast near it and the shield will blow off, dropping the Hammer.
For the Woven Sash (used at Veytharion): it has to be raining. There are three possible locations, all slightly out of bounds and reachable only by grappling out to them: to the right of the Mystery Box and behind PhD Flopper, to the left of Jugger-Nog, and near Widow's Wine heading towards Veytharion's Temple. Grapple to the location and spam interact to pick it up. The Woven Sash despawns at the end of the rain if you do not grab it.
Restoration
Rebuild the Nexus
Purple Orbs are scattered around the map. Use the Void Claw to pull one in. You can redirect it multiple times in any direction before bringing it to Pack-a-Punch, where it will circle the PAP well.
Once the orb is delivered, crank the wheel to Surge the Nexus. This lights the Braziers with the Astral Flame, which you can pick up like the Usurped Flame. It's one-use, so repeat the orb delivery to get it again.
Take the upgraded grapple to the Nexus Core and remove the 12 eye-shaped plates (2 per wall, across 6 walls) to drop them down. Webbed Gears will appear.
3 more eye-shaped plates appear on the Monoliths around the Nexus Forge. Remove these with the Void Talon as well.
Burn away the webbing holding the gears in place. This can be done with fireballs (Astral Flame or Usurped Flame), any explosive, the charge shot from the Warden's Blight, melee, incendiary ammo, or Dragon's Breath.
Crank the wheel on the Pack-a-Punch well used to light the Braziers, then interact with the lever to engage the gears.
Restoration
Cleanse the Temples
Head back upstairs to the Nexus Forge and interact with the 3 cranks on the Monoliths to align it toward a Boss Temple.
A lever underneath Pack-a-Punch changes which direction the cranks turn, either clockwise or counterclockwise, so make sure to check which way yours is set before using the solver below.

Target
Note
The Brazier in each temple's Main Chamber can only be lit with the Astral Flame: the Usurped Flame will not work here.
Align all three cranks to Veytharion's Temple.
Place the Woven Sash in the Brazier in Veytharion's Main Chamber.
Get the Astral Flame and light the Brazier.
Bring a zombie close to the flame to imbue it with the Red Flame. The zombie will take on a symbol.
Take that zombie to one of the Titan Traps and kill it with the hand that matches its symbol on the handcuff. This breaks the handcuff. In this temple it is the left A hand.
Back inside Veytharion's Temple, a stone square in the floor bears the boss's face. Spam jump on it to raise it. You need 15 seconds of airtime over the tile (+5 seconds per extra player). Only time in the air over the tile counts.
Use a charged shot from the Wonder Weapon on the opened slab to raise the Circular Disc from the floor.
Aim the Circular Disc through the left zombie spawn, then fill its Soulbox by getting kills near it. It sends pulses down the beam and opens the wall, revealing a face. The Soulbox needs 10 souls, from kills within about 512 units of the disc.
Shoot the face. Shadow Souls will spawn. Kill them all, then shoot the face again until the screen flashes white.
Tip
You'll know the beam is aligned properly once the wall starts cracking with gold as you fill the Soulbox. If it isn't cracking after a few kills, adjust the disc and try again. Shooting the outside of the disc will move it a lot, and the closer you shoot towards the middle the less it will adjust.
Outside the temple, a floating platform appears beneath the Shadowsmith's head. Use the Void Claw to bring a Purple Orb underneath the head, then use a charged shot from the Wonder Weapon to raise it and light the eyes.
Flip the round to bring in the rain, crank the Forge for another Astral Flame, and throw it at Veytharion's Head. The temple will be struck by lightning and cleansed.
Tip
If you need to start the rain, interact with the pool inside Veytharion's Temple, then flip the round to spawn in the rain.
Align all three cranks to Caltheris' Temple.
Place the Shimmering Thread in the Brazier in Caltheris' Main Chamber.
Get the Astral Flame and light the Brazier.
Bring a zombie close to the flame to imbue it with the Red Flame. The zombie will take on a symbol.
Take that zombie to one of the Titan Traps and kill it with the hand that matches its symbol on the handcuff. This breaks the handcuff. In this temple it is the left B hand.
Back inside Caltheris' Temple, stand on the stone square bearing the boss's face and aim down sights to raise it. You need 30 seconds fully aimed in on the tile (+10 seconds per extra player).
Use a charged shot from the Wonder Weapon on the opened slab to raise the Circular Disc from the floor.
Aim the Circular Disc toward the top-left of the room, on the wall near the corner, then fill its Soulbox by getting kills near it. It sends pulses down the beam and opens the wall, revealing a face. The Soulbox needs 10 souls, from kills within about 512 units of the disc.
Shoot the face. Shadow Souls will spawn. Kill them all, then shoot the face again until the screen flashes white.

Back inside Dravakar's Temple, you will need to replate while standing on the stone slab to get it to open. You need 3 plates on the tile (+1 per extra player).
Use a charged shot from the Wonder Weapon on the opened slab to raise the Circular Disc from the floor.
Aim the Circular Disc toward the top-right of the room on the second floor, near the next room, then fill its Soulbox by getting kills near it. It sends pulses down the beam and opens the wall, revealing a face. The Soulbox needs 10 souls, from kills within about 512 units of the disc.
Shoot the face. Shadow Souls will spawn. Kill them all, then shoot the face again until the screen flashes white.

Boss Fight
The Final Encounter
Head to the Nexus Core and stand in the circles to start The Final Encounter.
Phase 1: Shoot the skulls around the Warden. Once they're destroyed, he'll be stunned, and you can shoot his tail.
Phase 2: The Warden spawns Warden Stingers around the map and a portal that unleashes an AOE attack. Both can be destroyed, but you still need to destroy the skulls around the Warden and shoot his tail.
Phase 3: You're teleported to Clausura to complete a small trial. In co-op, each player is sent to a different trial.
Keep shooting the skulls around the Warden and damaging his tail throughout the phase.
The boss will appear to die, with his health bar disappearing. But he'll come back for another phase.
Note
If you have too many Stingers in the arena, they will start charging an attack that will immediately down all players. You must get rid of every Stinger to stop the attack, or make sure to keep clearing them throughout the fight to prevent it.
