Torghast Tower of the Damned is now available for testing on the Shadowlands Alpha for the Demon Hunter, Mage, Priest and Warlock classes. Here is our first look at Torghast Tower of the Damned and explanation on how it works!
If you have access to Shadowlands Alpha, head to Aspirant's rest to queue up for Torghast! You'll been given your Kyrian Covenant ability and Signature Ability.
Deaths and the Tarragrue
As mentioned in the
Blizzard preview
,
Torghast is not mentioned in time, but in deaths
. On each floor, you may die a certain number of times before the Tarragrue comes to find you.
If Solo, you're allowed to die
3 times
per floor.
In a 2 player party, you're party is allowed to die
5 times
per floor
In a 3 player party, you're party is allowed to die
7 times
per floor
In a 4 player party, you're party is allowed to die
9 times
per floor
In a 5 player party, you're party is allowed to die
11 times
per floor.
However, even if you reach this cap, your run isn't over just yet. A new bar will show up announcing the arrival of the Tarragrue in 30 seconds.
After these 30 seconds are up, the Tarragrue will spawn at the start of the floor and slowly start making its way to the floor exit. He
does
have an aggro radius and he
can
melee you to death in a single swing. Beat the Tarragrue to the exit and the next floor will continue as if nothing happened. Fail to beat the Tarragrue to the exit and your run is over.
Anima Powers
Anima Powers are necessary to continue climbing Torghast, Tower of the Damned. These Anima Powers will increase your character's power for your current Torghast run. Check out all the
Torghast Anima Powers
!
Torghast Anima Powers
Anima Powers are contained in red Anima Orbs.
Click the Orb, and you will be given a choice between 1-3 Anima Powers. Each Anima Power has a rarity which will affect how often the Power shows up. Choose the one that you want!
You'll be able to see all your Chosen Anima Powers in an UI element to the side.
Anima Orbs are generally rewards found from many events and can be found:
Randomly found on a floor, out in the open.
Contained inside a Destructable Urn.
Contained inside a Spectral Chests.
Bought from a Vendor
Complete a Side-Objective Quest
After each boss.
With enough Anima Powers, you can have two talents on every row!
Phantasma and the Shackled Broker
In each run of Torghast, you will be collecting
Phantasma
in your run. Any collected
Phantasma
will be lost when your Torghast run is over.
Phantasma
can be collected from looting enemies and Anima Powers.
You can spend your
Phantasma
at Shackled Broker vendors. These vendors have
limited supplies
but sell Anima Powers and consumables:
Plundered Anima Cell
Ravenous Anima Cell
Obscuring Essence Potion
Blinding Smoke Capsules
Rejuvenating Siphoned Essence
: Unlimited
Various Anima Powers
Floor Layout
Torghast floors are randomly generated every time you zone in. This means you'll have a different experience every time you play. As you continue to climb the tower, Torghast floors become more and more complex.
Every 6 floors, you will get a boss encounter. Upon defeating the boss encounter, you will receive an Epic rarity Anima Power.
Floors also contain crazy traps including spikes, swinging axes and lightning traps!
Bonus Objectives
Many floors will contain a bonus objective that you can complete to collect a bonus Anima Orb. The ones we've seen so far are:
Escort an NPC to their item.
Find Spectral Keys to open a Spectral Chest.
Find a Spectral Chest and complete a lever puzzle to open it.
