Plane of Time B

From Shadowed Eclipse

Plane of Time B

Plane of Time B is the final Shadowed Eclipse 1.0 PoP zone. It is not just a Quarm room. The zone is a staged finale: the moving four, the god wave, the rotating god phase, Quarm, the Unholy Portal, then Nyseria and the Coven pressure beyond the portal.

The most important progression warning is this: killing Quarm opens the Unholy Portal, but the portal will not move you forward unless you are marked by The Unholy Key of the Coven. To make that key, you must take Shard of Unholy Awakening from Quarm and go back through earlier expansions to awaken four dormant unholy chests.

Phase One: The Moving Four

The opening set is Saryrn, Terris Thule, Vallon Zek, and Tallon Zek. Once the event starts, these bosses begin creeping toward the raid. The boss that receives real player damage becomes the active fight. The others can return home if they drift too close while another boss is active.

Pick one target and commit. When all four are dead, the controller spawns the next portal step.

The opening bosses can drop Time B base loot and have small chances at special rewards, including Unholy Coven Stone and assigned 3.0-style rewards:

Terris also has Nightmare/Time themed rewards in her normal table, such as Vanazir, Dreamer's Despair, Cape of Endless Torment, Coif of Flowing Time, Hammer of Hours, Orb of Clinging Death, Cudgel of Venomous Hatred, Earring of Corporeal Essence, Talisman of Tainted Energy, and Armguards of the Brute.

Phase Two: The God Wave

After the first portal step, the zone moves into the god wave. Bertoxxulous, Cazic Thule, Innoruuk, and Rallos Zek are chained together through the controller. Their deaths are counted, and when the required set is dead the next portal step appears.

These gods can also roll Unholy Coven Stone, Time B base loot, and assigned 3.0-style rewards:

Phase Three: Rotating Gods

The third combat phase uses Agnarr, Xegony, Solusek Ro, and Fennin Ro. The controller freezes all four, then activates one at random every 30 seconds. Only the active boss is meant to be fought.

If the active target changes, switch cleanly. Damage into inactive targets is wasted, and the point of this phase is target discipline.

Assigned rewards in this phase include:

When all four rotating gods are dead, the real Quarm spawns near the cave center.

Quarm

Quarm is the Time B capstone boss before the Coven ending. His fight uses time vortex adds and phase-based AE packages.

During combat, Quarm periodically spawns three time vortexes around himself. His AE package changes as he loses heads, with major phase shifts around 76%, 51%, and 26%. Each head break wipes his buffs and restarts the AE timer, so expect the rhythm of the fight to change as he drops.

Quarm drops Shard of Unholy Awakening. This is the piece you must carry back through old progression zones to awaken the four dormant unholy chests.

Quarm can also roll:

When Quarm dies, he depops remaining time vortexes and spawns the Unholy Portal.

The Unholy Portal

The Unholy Portal appears after Quarm. Hailing it checks whether your character has been marked by The Unholy Key of the Coven.

If you are marked, the portal lets you say ready and moves you into the Coven pressure stage. If you are not marked, it refuses you and hints at four echoes:

  • An indigo citadel where old vengeance lingers.
  • A fallen empire swallowed by jungle.
  • A frozen city of the draconic dead.
  • A city where shadows hide behind polished stone.

Those are the four places you must revisit with Shard of Unholy Awakening.

Making The Unholy Key Of The Coven

After Quarm, keep Shard of Unholy Awakening in your inventory. Go back to the four dormant unholy chests. When you stand close enough to a dormant chest while carrying the shard, the dormant chest wakes and spawns An Unholy Chest.

An Unholy Chest is a real fight. Each awakened chest has a chance to drop its zone's Coven key fragment.

Zone Fragment
Plane of Hate B Coven Key Fragment of Ash
Sebilis Coven Key Fragment of Bone
Dragon Necropolis Coven Key Fragment of Blood
Katta Castellum Coven Key Fragment of Thorn

The fragment drop chance from each awakened chest is 27%, so you may need multiple awakenings/kills to finish the key.

Combine the four fragments in Tier Upgrade Kit to create The Unholy Key of the Coven.

Combine:

Right-click The Unholy Key of the Coven. The key is consumed and marks the clicker. If the clicker is grouped or raided, same-IP group or raid members are marked too. That mark is what the Unholy Portal checks after Quarm.

Beyond The Portal: Welcome Wagon

Once you are marked, return to Plane of Time B, kill Quarm again if needed, hail the Unholy Portal, and say ready.

The portal moves you into the Coven stage and spawns the first pressure set. The Final Welcome Wagon is the doorway fight, not the true ending. It calls minions at 75%, 50%, and 25%, uses periodic lure pressure, and warns that the Coven waits beyond it.

The Final Welcome Wagon can drop:

When it dies, Nyseria's next stage begins.

Nyseria And The Coven Pressure

Nyseria the Veilkeeper is the final Shadowed Eclipse antagonist layer in Time B. Her fight is intentionally staged and disruptive. The controller saves her health, despawns her at thresholds, and respawns her after each pressure phase.

At 75%, Nyseria calls guards. Kill the guards to continue. Nyseria guards can drop Unholy Coven Stone and can also roll Time B base loot or 3.0-style rewards.

At 50%, Nyseria calls zealots. The controller spawns timed waves of Coven zealots and waits for the full kill count before Nyseria resumes.

At 15%, Nyseria calls gods. Four random god echoes spawn from the Time B god pool. Kill them to bring Nyseria back for the final stretch.

Nyseria's final reward package can include:

Epilogue Envoy

After Nyseria dies, the Envoy appears for the epilogue. He frames the end of the Coven story and hints at what could exist beyond the Shadowed Eclipse, but this is the end of the current SE 1.0 progression path.

Practical Route

  1. Clear the moving four: Saryrn, Terris Thule, Vallon Zek, and Tallon Zek.
  2. Clear the god wave.
  3. Handle the rotating god phase by attacking only the active boss.
  4. Kill Quarm and loot Shard of Unholy Awakening.
  5. Go back to Plane of Hate B, Sebilis, Dragon Necropolis, and Katta Castellum with the shard.
  6. Awaken each dormant unholy chest and farm the four Coven key fragments.
  7. Combine the four fragments into The Unholy Key of the Coven.
  8. Right-click the key to mark yourself and same-IP group or raid members.
  9. Return to Time B, kill Quarm again if needed, then hail the Unholy Portal and say ready.
  10. Kill the Welcome Wagon, survive Nyseria's guard/zealot/god phases, and finish Nyseria.
