Kurast Undercity

Unlocking: Progress through the campaign to Kurast Bazaar and complete the "Reunion" and "Living Memory" quests. This unlocks "The Kurast Undercity" questline, which involves three initial runs of the Undercity. Full access is granted after completing the third run.

Gameplay: Kurast Undercity is a timed dungeon with three levels, culminating in a boss fight. The goal is to clear levels quickly, earn Attunement, and defeat the boss. Rewards are influenced by Attunement gained and Tributes/Bargains used.

Time Limits: Each run starts with a dynamic timer (around 100 seconds, affected by Tributes). The timer begins when you leave the starting area. Time can be added by clearing floors and defeating Afflicted Monsters, which are marked with orange clock icons on the minimap. More time is also added at the start of each new level. The timer stops after the third level, before the boss fight.

Attunement: An Attunement bar fills as you kill enemies. Reaching the first tier is required for success, but a fuller bar yields better rewards. Attunement is also gained by activating Beacons, which summon waves of enemies (often including elites).

Strategy for Attunement and Time: Prioritize killing enemies and activating Beacons. Ideally, lure Afflicted Monsters towards Beacons to defeat both simultaneously. While routing can help, high DPS is crucial. Focus on objectives and don't get sidetracked by minor loot during runs.
