How to reach the Altar of Mirages dungeon
Players must meet a few prerequisites to enter. First, reach Adventure Rank 28. Next, unlock the Sumeru region. Finally, complete the Golden Dreamland quest chain to obtain the artifact Tile of red sand.
Once these steps are finished, the path becomes clear. The hidden fast travel point in the Temple of Hemenu will be available, and it serves as the teleport anchor after finishing the final quest in the Dreamland sequence, the Golden Land of Dreams.
As the journey continues, move forward, then veer to the right. Enter the next room, turn right again, then left to progress.
There is a closed door that could not be opened before due to insufficient power. Interact with the ancient book, take the Dendroculus, and jump down to reach the dungeon itself.
Proceed with caution and keep moving along the corridor until the entrance to the dungeon reveals itself.
How to complete the Behind the Illusory Curtain challenge
The dungeon offers a single active challenge: survive eighteen waves of adversaries. There is no time limit, but later waves pose tougher fights for many teams.
It helps to bring a well-upgraded roster. Without strong heroes, health restoration can drain supplies quickly. Using items to boost damage and defensive buffs before combat is a smart move.
Rewards for finishing the Altar of Mirages dungeon
Besides the standard loot, a special chest can yield valuable items:
- Bronze stones (50)
- Golden years (1)
- Adventure Experience (530)
- Mora (30,000)
- Seal of Dendro (8)
- Enchanting Magic Ore (4)
- Hero experience (2)
