Entrance to The Defile from Blighthaven
Following their adventures in Blighthaven, the Defile is the next zone for level-50 players to explore and further uncover the story of Nexus.
Where the good guys are fighting corruption to a standstill in Blighthaven, the Strain and their master are winning here in the Defile. Your efforts so far have been to build up your forces and prepare for what’s coming. But the Entity has found some new ways to up his game - including a corrupted Primal Focus and a giant monstrosity determined to breach the Lightspire.
To make matters worse, the Exiles and Dominion can’t help but give one another a tough time, even as hordes of creepy crawly corruption writhe and squirm around every corner.
Everything kicks off when Drusera brings down the exanite walls separating the Defile from the rest of Grimvault. From there, players will make their way to the Sonic Plaza to begin their questing experience.
The Black Focus is one way the Defile offers small group content in the open world. The Strain has corrupted an Eldan-made Primal Focus. Using that power to charge several terraformers tied to the primal elements, the Strain has begun to directly infect Nexus itself. Once the players take down the terraformers, they'll make their way to Koral the Defiler via a series of collapsing platforms. Koral is an open world boss for groups of five players with some cool mechanics tied to the primal powers.
Players who want to add unique items to their player house will definitely want to group up to defeat Koral!
The Defile’s Siege of the Lightspire event offers guilds or public event circles a lot more to do - a five-part, 20-person public event where Exiles and Dominion can join forces (temporarily of course) to aim their guns and spells at a common foe: the Dreadwatcher.
