Official Artwork of the Apocrea event featuring the Apocrean Harvester.

Shroud of the Apocrea is an event.

Overview

In the deep dark below, beyond the space where time wakens and yawns, beyond the shadows cast by the great leviathan of eternity, the Apocrea stir. Within cities where geometry and madness share meaning, constructed from thought, from unnatural impulse, the Apocrea dream dark machines into being.

Only souls keep these engines roaring, heard screaming across distant stars. Only souls can fill their void, sublime in its vast emptiness. Oh such beautiful souls! Bright and vibrant like fruit warming on the branch from a summer’s sun, longing for the pull of the earth below, the chance to seed and grow and birth anew.

What terrible naivety! What utter farce! All of them mere crops against their relentless scythe! Though they may steal sanctuary in the cracks and corners of their terrible realm, it is ever fleeting. The blinding gaze of the Apocrea is boundless.

The daylight, the starlight; all hope is merely waiting for their dark shroud to return this cosmic play to its primordial black.

Dear heavens! The stars grin down with lustful intent! It is an abomination, an embodiment of sublime beauty, dark and blooded! I weep and laugh before the shroud that waits!

Nuul-duggath, I am seared in your gaze oh Apocrea, teeming filth of ages! Nyarrlotth-MORG!

(The remaining pages are a series of indecipherable symbols and patterns, seemingly drawn with great haste.)

Gameplay

Arcade

There are no changes to regular gameplay in the arcade. The only gameplay available for Shroud of the Apocrea is through the event-exclusive prestige mission.

Prestige

Mission-Shroud of the Apocrea.png

"Shroud of the Apocrea" is a prestige mission that can be started as often as the player desires during the event, so long as the player is at least Rank 4-1. It features a large graveyard called the Grasping Plateau, in which players can search for Apocrean Sigils (by freeing Souls) and encounter difficult monsters. The mission has several random floors of arenas, tunnels, and Grasping Plateaus. The last combat floor is always a Grasping Plateau.


Rewards and Prizes

Token Exchange

Apocrean Sigils can be exchanged with Lost Soul (Apocrean Item Trader) for related materials or aesthetics. Players can use the materials to craft various Apocrea-related gear.

Prize Boxes

Notes

Apocrean Sigils do not expire.

This event and its related items (materials, gear, and so on) seem to be described in the style of Lovecraftian Horror.

Other events considered "scary" or "spooky" by the community (such as the Dark Harvest Festival) are not directly tied into the Shroud of the Apocrea. These events just sometimes occur simultaneously.
