Descent — the Underhall’s labyrinth of the week

Every Monday at 03:00 Moscow time the stone shifts: a new labyrinth for the week, the same for everyone.

Floors and forks

• 5 floors, each with forks of 2–3 doors. Only what you passed is shown.
• At the end of a floor waits the Stair Warden (a dark opening). There may be a false exit beside it: step in and a candle stub goes out.
• Door signs hint at what lies behind: iron — a fight or an elite, bone — a dungeon boss echo, mossy — a “quiet” room (chest, rest or trap), carved — a riddle, an arch — anything.
• The Whisper of the Underhall at each fork is always true, if foggy.

A candle of 3 stubs

Lose a fight and a stub goes out; you may retry the fight with a new deal. When all are out, the run ends and your spoils remain. Your Health is full in every fight.

Riddles, the passage and the Heart

• Behind a carved door is a riddle verse: a fight condition (“no more than two cards”, “no damage in the first three turns”…). Meet it and the floor’s secret passage opens.
• The passages of all five floors within a week open the Heart of the Underhall and its Keeper.

Labyrinth items

They work only in the Underhall, at a fork; crafters make them and labyrinth chests give them; they sell on the auction. Never for money. None of them reveals a secret passage.

The Torch and the Thread also take a material of the labyrinth itself — Phosphor Moss and Deepweaver Silk; the Map takes three Map Scraps. These materials drop only in a keyed Descent.

Depths 1–10

Depth sets enemy strength and loot level. You unlock depths in order: clear the Descent and the next one opens. From depth 4 rooms get affixes, two from depth 7, three from depth 9. An unlocked depth lasts for the season.

Loot

• The weekly Underhall Chest (Monday): one item for a slot of your choice; its level follows your best depth of the week: 1–3 → 226, 4–6 → 232, 7–8 → 236, 9–10 → 239. That is below mythic (245) — the top still belongs to groups.
• Floor Wardens and the Keeper — a chance of an item; Marks of Distinction for floors (once a week per account) and Forge Shards for the fifth floor and the Heart.
• The Underhall Chronicle — weeks with the Heart (not necessarily in a row): a title, a frame, a card back, a battlefield, the “Guiding Firefly” pet and the “Underhall Aurochs” mount (15 weeks).

Journal

The labyrinth has no “How to beat”. There is the Underhall Journal: what was behind which doors on your runs and which Echoes you met. Every Monday last week’s map opens there too — with every passage and riddle answer.
