 Domain of Anguish Overview. | |
 | |
The Domain Of Anguish is a special explorable area in Nightfall. It consists of four other explorable areas - The Foundry of Failed Creations, City of Torc'qua, Stygian Veil and Ravenheart Gloom. A player will be able to enter the Domain of Anguish after defeating Abaddon. The Seer of Truth at Chantry of Secrets grants access.
The only elite mission in Nightfall takes place here.
Containing valuable Items, this area is regularly visited by players, though new players often get killed in a few seconds. Monsters in this area are very strong and capable of demolishing every team not prepared for the dangers that await them.
Only in the Domain of Anguish can players obtain tormented weapons, primeval hero armor and the quest to get the hero Razah.
While on first sight Anguish doesn't contain an Elite Mission, it can only be unlocked by completing a quest first. The quest, Mallyx the Unyielding, brings players through every corner of Anguish and ultimately brings the player to The Ebony Citadel of Mallyx which is the true Elite Mission.
Initially, each of the four sections are sealed off from each other, once each section is completed, the entrance to the next counterclockwise section opens.
[edit] Getting there
After the completion of the Nightfall campaign, you can enter the Domain of Anguish by talking to the Seer of Truth in the Chantry of Secrets.
[edit] Foes
The foes that are found here range from level 24 and 32 (depending on whether it is normal mode or hard mode). Groups of foes are often very diverse, containing almost every profession. This makes it difficult to rely on certain builds and often teams are forced to create a balanced team. However, players are more and more exploring the weaknesses of the elite area and some can farm certain regions solo.
[edit] Notes
- Since March 31st, 2008, players no longer need the quest to spawn the end bosses of each area.
- Although it does allow heroes, there are no henchman permitted entry into the Domain of Anguish.
- Because party size is recommended to be at least 8, the minimum # of humans should be two if they each bring the maximum number of heroes (three each). However, a single player can gain entry if they just accept at the extra warning that pops up if less than 8.
