The Origins of Divinity
Return of the Ancients
Wraeclast lies in ruin after a devastating cataclysm, consumed by a creeping corruption that gnaws at all it touches. Guided by Doryani, the Vaal thaumaturge, you must seek out the makers of the Third Edict, the Precursors, and uncover what path remains.
Reach the fortress by traversing forsaken maps, and unseal its ancient gates.
Exploring the Fortress
Beyond the walls lies more than first meets the eye. The fortress holds many paths to explore and many new things to find. Power up ancient machines, fight new and deadly foes, discover new depths, and uncover dark secrets buried deep within.
Lose 1 portal per 2 mods on a Waystones, so 6 mod maps should have 3 portals.

- Essence Trove: All Rare monster are Essence monsters
- Twinned Terrors: Summoning Circles always summon an additional Boss
- Hunting Grounds: Contains 2 additional Rogue Exiles and 5 additional Rare Beasts

- Nature Shrines: Shrines release an Azmeri Spirit when activated
Reshaped Atlas Tree
In Return of the Ancients, we have significantly reworked and upgraded the Atlas Passive Tree. With nodes that combine mechanics in new ways and many providing multiple choices, you can customise your Atlas like never before.
Behold the First Edict
Should you press onward to the fortress’s heart... a mighty foe awaits.
Delirium - The Raven and the Hare
An ancient trickster god has been unleashed, spreading madness across Wraeclast. Do you dare to uncover his origins and confront your darkest fears?
The entity of Delirium, the Strange Voice, has grown in power. A new progression system now measures how far you descend into the fog, with danger and madness intensifying as you venture deeper into the Withered Willow.
Encounter warped reflections of reality alongside nightmarish foes. Those who endure will uncover potent new rewards, as well as deeper, more perilous layers of the Delirium.
Enter the Distortion
Consuming a Strange Fruit draws a pall of fog across the Atlas, its shroud thickening with each step forward. In time, this descent gives rise to a Simulacrum, a twisted echo of one's memory.
Overcome the insanity to earn passage to the Raven Trickster’s domain.
Improved Rewards
Distilled Emotions are powerful Delirium rewards that, in Return of the Ancients, can be used in two ways: to instill notable passive buffs onto amulets, and to craft specific mods onto jewels.
Each emotion can provide modifiers such as critical strike chance, movement speed, and many more valuable stats to jewels.

Face the Madness
After conquering the Simulacrum, you earn the right to stand before Tangmazu. Once the questline is complete, Grand Mirrors will begin to surface across the Atlas. Through them, Tangmazu may be challenged anew, yielding ever more coveted relics to those who tread the path again.
Breach - Waking the Dreamer
The Hiveborn are grotesque creatures from a strange realm, seeking to break free and overrun another. Ailith and the Keepers of the Flame have held them at bay, but their strength wanes as the Hiveborn multiply, forcing Ailith to call upon Exiles to take up the fight.
Annihilate Breaches
Encountering a Breach will now display an indicator, extending the encounter time as enemies within it are slain. Resist the invasion long enough to stabilise the Breach and face the toughest miscreations the Hiveborn have to offer.
Genesis Tree Crafting
Behold the Genesis Tree, a vital asset in the war effort, stolen from the enemy and gifted to the Keepers by the Dreamer himself.
Fertilise the tree with Hiveblood harvested from slain Hiveborn abominations to unlock its vast crafting potential. Control what grows upon its branches to access new jewelry base types with powerful modifiers unavailable anywhere else.

Purge these twisted structures and defeat the Breachlords to collapse their foothold once and for all.

Ritual - The Rite of the Nameless
Aoife lingers as a restless spirit, bound to the Wildwood and searching for one who might answer her call. The King in the Mists has claimed her flesh, leaving her soul adrift, untethered and unable to pass beyond. She believes that only by reclaiming what was taken can she be made whole once more.

Meet the King
Head into the Wildwood to complete Rituals that resurrect bound monsters, earning Tribute that can now be spent on Uniques or Omens, making these encounters more rewarding than before.
Use any remaining Tribute to fill the meter and gain an audience with the King in the Mists.
Become the Champion
The Rite of the Nameless begins as a ritual encounter, swelling in power until the Map Boss is defeated, leaving behind a fragment of an effigy.
It then bleeds into other maps, with each choice you make compounding the difficulty and rewards. Fight your way through and complete it to face a devastating final trial.
Challenge the Darkness
With the Rite of the Nameless brought to its end, etch your name into the effigy and step into the prison, where the darkness itself awaits.
Abyss
When you first encounter one in the endgame, you'll get a quest that leads you to the east, where you will find these mega abyss cracks on the earth, leading away from the Well of Souls. All the maps along the cracks will contain abysses with special properties, and mapping along these cracks will close the Atlas scale abysses, giving you points for the Abyss Atlas Tree.
At the end of each Atlas Abyss, you'll find an abyssal depths with the boss fight for one of the Abyssal factions. After completing all three, you'll get a key for the Well of Souls, allowing you fight the Vessel of Kulemak.
and Much More!
