The Last Zones
By the developer
The game stops at level 50 for now. Three zones sit at the top of it: Necropolis Gate, the Nightmare Realm and Dragon Sanctum. Their Drift includes elite and named creatures, and it is where I would send anyone who thinks they have seen everything.
Necropolis Gate (levels 41 to 48)
Every monster you have killed since level 1 had to go somewhere. In my version, they all walk through this gate. That is a lot of rats.
The defender is the Death Soul Reaper Titan. The Drift line: "The gate drifts open for the restless dead." Once it is open, three things show up that live nowhere else. The Gatebone Herald, an elite. The Tomb-Crown Behemoth and the Soulchain Collector, both named.
Nightmare Realm (levels 43 to 50)
The Nightmare Realm is made of the fears of everyone who ever walked in. You add to it just by being there.
Its defender is the Terror Dream Eater Lord. The Drift line is my favorite in the game: "The nightmare drifts behind your eyes."
The Drift-only creatures here are the Sleep-Stitched Giant, the Mirrorfear Oracle and the Panic Eater. The Oracle and the Panic Eater are both named rares.
Dragon Sanctum (levels 45 to 50)
The last zone on the map. The raid boss is the Ancient Chromatic Dragon King, and it is the last raid in the game right now.
In the lore, the King holds the final anchor. The Quest Journal has a daily called Break the Anchor and another called Anchor Lords. Both can apply to this zone's Drift bosses. I still think of this as the anchor they mean.
Kill the King and the Sanctum drifts: "The sanctum drifts around ancient fire." Then come the Hoard-Curse Drake, the Scale-Eater Revenant and the Chromablight Seraph.
The Seraph and the Revenant are both named rares, one step under a boss. Expect to die to them a few times.
What happens after the last anchor
I have not decided. Nothing in the game answers it yet. When I raise the level limit past 50, this is where the answer goes.
