Act III – Into The Flames

Act III – Into The Flames is the third chapter of The Exalted Path and the first one in the Nether. It opens after the Seal of the Underworld. The act has two halves: Nether bosses and structures, reached through the Nether itself, and the Eight Sins, the Cataclysm bosses that each live in their own dimension. Despite its text, the act’s last quest doesn’t need any Sin: it opens Act IV once five Legendary Eye quests are done and the player has entered the End.

Branches#

All of these depend only on Into the Flames, the act’s first quest.

Other Act III quests:

  • Empowered Remnant (“A Pain to Make…”): have an Empowered Remnant for 1 XP level. See Into the Flames.
  • Nautilus Shell: have a Nautilus Shell for a Coral Chunk. Its text says Nautilus Shells come from the Sunken City, the Eye of Abyss dimension.
  • The Nether and The Caverns: checkmarks that link to the Nether and Caverns chapters of Fabled Realms.

The way to Act IV#

The last quest of the act is an octagon titled Act IV - Beyond Reality. See Act IV – Beyond Reality Gate: it needs any five of the sixteen eye quests in Journey To The End, and then a visit to the End.

Note

The Eight Sins quest says “Defeat at least Four Sins to unlock Act IV”, but no Sin kill is required. The gate only checks the Legendary Eye quests and the End.

Bosses in this act#

See Act III Bosses. The Caverns chapter adds the five Alex’s Caves bosses, such as Hullbreaker and Magnetron.
