Interlude is a temporary act. The player and The Hooded One seek out allies to recruit before heading to Oriath and wage war against the Twilight Order.

The Interlude consists of three sub-sections across three regions. These areas can be visited in any order and zone levels will scale with progress.

Resistance penalties are based on zone level, as follows:

  • Level 54-59: -40%
  • Level 60-64: -50%
  • Level 65+: -60%

The Interlude will only be available during Early Access, serving to fill the gap between Act 4 and endgame. They will be removed with the release of Acts 5 and 6.
