List of Contents
| Shifting Earth Events | Rewards and How to Unlock |
|---|---|
Volcanic Craters |
Magma-infused region filled with enemies that can use flame attacks. Descend the depths of the area to defeat the Magma Wyrm and claim a chance to upgrade a weapon to legendary tier. How to Unlock: Defeat Gladius once. |
Mountaintops |
Icy mountaintop home to frost dragons and mutated beasts. Reach the highest point of the mountain to receive a buff that halves frostbite damage and frost buildup, and gain bonus damage when units near you get afflicted with frostbite. How to Unlock: Defeat 3 different Night Lords. |
Rotted Woods |
Everything in the forest can inflict Scarlet Rot. Heal yourself with the flowers in the area while searching for a unique scarlet flower to become immune to Scarlet Rot and heal yourself when attacking enemies after getting hit by their attacks. How to Unlock: Defeat 5 different Night Lords. |
Noklateo, the Shrouded City |
A gigantic city on the edge of Limveld. Explore the city that's infested with assassins and void-like enemies. Reach the chapel in the innermost area of Noklateo to achieve a blessing that grants you a revive and a temporary boost of power after entering a near-death state. How to Unlock: Defeat 7 different Night Lords. |
Usually, the earth will only shift to a new configuration after a successful expedition. It is possible to reset the state of the map to the default version by sleeping in Roundtable Hold.
| Volcanic Crater |
|---|
![]() Volcanic Crater is unlocked by defeating Gladius (Tricephalos) once. |
The Crater (or Volcanic Crater) is a magma-filled area on the northern side of the map where, when fully exploring its depths and reaching its forge (guarded by a Magma Wyrm), will allow players to upgrade one (1) of their weapons to the highest rarity instantly with no level requirements.
Volcanic Crater Guide and Rewards
| Mountaintop |
|---|
![]() Mountaintop is unlocked by defeating (3) different Night Lords. |
The Mountaintop is an icy mountain on the northwestern side of the map that you can climb while facing its inhabitants (mutated beasts and dragons like the Mountaintop Ice Dragon) as well as the frost status ailment. The main objective of the area is the top of the mountain and interact with the ice crystal on it.
The Mountaintop Guide and Rewards
| Rotted Woods |
|---|
![]() Rotted Woods is unlocked by defeating (5) different Night Lords. |
The Rotted Woods is a decaying forest overrun with Scarlet Rot on the southeastern edge of the map. Your main objective here is to find the Favor of the Rotted Woods by searching for a giant scarlet flower.
Scarlet Rot buildup can be cured temporarily by going through one of the flower beds that cure you of the status ailment.
The Favor of the Rotted Wood's location is revealed on the map by clearing the marked Fort inside the Rotted Woods and interacting with the Fort's clues table.
The Rotted Woods Guide and Rewards
| Noklateo, the Shrouded City |
|---|
![]() Noklateo, the Shrouded City is unlocked by defeating (7) different Night Lords. |
Noklateo, the Shrouded City is the biggest Shifting Earth terrain among the four and will always be on the southwestern edge of the map. You'll have to traverse the city and reach the chapel area housing the Naturalborn of the Void.
After defeating the Naturalborn of the Void, you can then acquire the Favor of Noklateo, the Shrouded City, at the end of the Chapel after the boss's Site of Grace. Having this power will allow a player once to self-revive when near death.
Noklateo, the Shrouded City Guide and Rewards
Refer to the video above for directions to the Noklateo's Duplication location.
Another feature of Noklateo, the Shrouded City is that there is an altar that will allow you to duplicate weapons. This altar is found at a secluded part with a narrow opening at southeast of Noklateo.
How to Duplicate Weapons and Recommendations

Before an expedition, you may get a notification on the menu of a Shifting Earth. This will show you the Shifting Earth that will affect the landscape of Limveld upon arrival.
Each of these events has its unique enemies and bosses in its terrain as well as a reward if you manage to overcome the main terrain's boss.
From our observation, the event stays active for 3 matches. The event will end after the 3rd match and Limveld will be reset to its default setting.

By using the bed, you will skip the Shifting Earth Event and Limveld will be restored to its default setting.
You can only use the bed when a Shifting Earth Event is active. If this event is active in your save, you can simply interact with the bed to use it.
