Courtyard of Wasting map boss drops Echo of Loneliness which contains Incarnation of Neglect

Chambers of Impurity map boss drops Echo of Trauma which contains Incarnation of Fear

Theatre of Lies Map drops Echo of Reverence which contains Incarnation of Dread


Am I the only one that thinks it's very confusing that there are three sets of names which do not reference each other? I would suggest at least some kind of tooltip to remind players what each chain actually leads to.

Yeah its confusing af, I constantly have to keep checking the wiki when deciding which ones to reduce the chance of on the atlas tree lmao

It’s honestly not that deep. It’s just tight wordplay where the location, the drop, and what’s inside all echo the same idea.

Courtyard of Wasting - Echo of Loneliness - Incarnation of Neglect
A courtyard left to waste is abandonment made physical. Abandonment becomes loneliness. Loneliness becomes neglect. One semantic thread, reiterated with nuance.

Chambers of Impurity - Echo of Trauma - Incarnation of Fear
Impurity implies corruption. Corruption inflicts damage. Damage becomes trauma, and trauma manifests as fear. A precise emotional progression.

Theater of Lies - Echo of Reverence - Incarnation of Dread
A theater is staged illusion. Lies elevated become false reverence. False reverence curdles into dread. Performance turns into consequence.

It’s not over-complicated. It’s cohesive and just advanced, deliberate wordplay executed cleanly.
