Rares during the Twilight Ascension event spawn in a rotation in the Twilight Highlands. Every 10 minutes, the Twlight's Blade will start an event in the zone, with the zone-wide announcement The Twilight's Blade have begun summoning more forces. Defeat their ritual leaders! Once this event is active, the Rare is spawned but enshrouded in an immunity shield. To break that shield you will need to participate in the event, which has 3 stages:
- Stop the Ritual: Kill Twilight's Blade forces and disrupt their camp.
- Slay the Ritualists: Kill the three ritualists shielding the Rare mob.
- Twilight's Champion: The Twilight's Blade rare is now vulnerable. Kill them!
At the top of every hour
In addition to this, at the top of every hour, an Ephemeral Void will spawn at the Twilight's Blade camps during the Rare events with the zone-wide announcement, An Ephemeral Void has manifested in the Highland Forest! You interact with it by destroying Disparate Ephemera scattered around the camps. Destroying enough of them will summon the rare Voice of the Eclipse. This rare is exclusive to the Ephemeral Void sub-event and is also required for the Two Minutes to Midnight achievement.undefined
