The Acts

The story is told in Acts. Each Act is a chapter of your quest book with its own voice, bosses and rewards.

Act	Title	What it is	Page
I	The Shadowfall	The tutorial: survive, iron, magic, the Nether	Getting Started
II	The Ledger Opens	Coins, contracts, the Oath	Act II
III	Seal of Steel	Nine arena bosses	Act III
IV	Seal of the Wild	Six titans and wyrms	Act IV
V	Seal of Ages	The four vanilla ancients	Act V
VI	Seal of Ruin	Eight Cataclysm thrones	Act VI
VII	The Crownfall	The finale	Act VII

Only Act II must come first. Acts III to VI can be done in any order. Act VII needs all four Seals.

The boss lane

Every boss is a four-step lane. Read left to right in the quest book.

Step	Shape	Meaning
Locate	Diamond	Find the place, or gather the item that points to it
Prepare	Rounded square	Collect the supplies that fight needs
Awaken	Circle	Clear the approach or complete the ritual
Slay	Hexagon	Kill the boss

Each step pays small rewards. The Slay step pays coins, XP levels and a piece of gear.

Nothing in a lane is a "click to continue" quest. Every step is a real task: discover a place, hold items, kill mobs, or complete an advancement.

Column	Meaning
Locate	What to find or reach
Prepare	Items to hold
Awaken	What to clear, hold or summon
Reward	Gold, XP levels and the gear piece

Most Acts also have optional Field Work quests. They pay well, and they are a good use of downtime between bosses.

Every Seal ends with a finale that pays big, unlocks part of the Vault, and reveals a letter from Queen Isolde.
