Thaumanova Reactor
The Thaumanova reactor had an incident and is now creating crossdimensional rifts through the mists.
Basicly chaos and some of these rifts get into the underworld. Wibbly Wobbly etc
Oh thank you for explaining that
No problem, if you want to experience a bit more you will find somet things in the world:
Talking to the NPCs in the area will reveal a bit about what happened.
For long some of the information about what happened was only available through this (and some interviews) but as you traverse the world you could find similiar anomalies.
The most exciting was the “chrystal cavern” jumping puzzle, which is directly linked there (but not in the same area)
There is also some connection to the dungeon “Crucible of Eternity”, however the one with the closest connection to date is the Thaumanova Fractal, that was introduced with the “fractured” update, in which you can relive the incident yourself
In the swamp south of CoE there is a chaos rift which spawns rarely creatures from Thaumanova. Just to get an impression how huge this impact is.
The reactor from Thaumanova (or part of it, at least) was apparently recovered and is now a skill point housed in an Inquest base directly north of it (in southwest Brisban), and the swamp between the two has the same teleporting creatures (though mostly ambient ones in this case).
