Glitchbound Realms
Quickstart
- Set the world to a difficulty above Peaceful. Craft a Rift Compass and use it to open the travel and archive menu.
- Choose Enter the Abyss. Once inside, use the compass again and select Replay an Ancient Memory. Defeat all three guardians to earn Memory Fragments and restore some willpower.
- Craft a Fracture Blade with a Memory Fragment, a diamond, and a stick (recipe below). Then use the compass to challenge the Errorbound Revenant. Give yourself room to dodge its arrows and close-range attacks.
- Collect the Revenant’s Memory Fragment and any curse gem it drops. Fuse one Ember Curse Gem and one Frost Curse Gem through the compass menu; carry the resulting Confluence Curse when you defeat the Revenant to awaken your Echo Relic.
To craft the Rift Compass, use a crafting table:
Overview
Glitchbound Realms centers on the Abyss, a custom dimension where you can fight the Errorbound Revenant, take on Ancient Memory trials, and build strength through your victories. Use the Rift Compass to travel, start challenges, fuse curses, and check your progress in the Glitchbound Archive.
The compass works in the Overworld and the Abyss. Its travel menu offers the trip that makes sense from where you are, along with a cancel option. The Abyss is held at night, and its challenges are started through the menu rather than ordinary monster spawning.
What It Adds
| Content | What it does |
|---|---|
| Rift Compass | Opens the travel and archive menu. |
| Errorbound Revenant | A powerful Abyss opponent that fires arrows and attacks at close range. |
| Ancient Memory trial | Summons three guardians to fight; defeating them all earns rewards. |
| Fracture Blade | A durable sword that builds weapon mastery as you land hits. |
| Echo Relic | Grants combat boosts when used; awakening it strengthens its ability. |
| Curse gems | Ember and Frost gems can be fused through the compass menu. |
| Abyss blocks | Abyss Grassstone, Abyssal Layerstone, Fractured Deepstone, and Ashen Shore. |
How To Use
- Open the archive: Use the Rift Compass, then choose an option. The archive shows your Abyss victories, Ancient Memories, willpower, sin resonance, bloodline, Fracture Blade style, and relic status.
- Enter or leave the Abyss: Choose the travel option in the compass menu. The menu changes the offered trip depending on whether you are inside or outside the Abyss.
- Start the Revenant challenge: Be inside the Abyss and above Peaceful difficulty. Select the challenge from the menu; an open area gives the Revenant room to form.
- Replay an Ancient Memory: Be inside the Abyss and above Peaceful difficulty, then choose the memory option. Defeat all three guardians to complete the trial.
- Fuse curses: Carry at least one Ember Curse Gem and one Frost Curse Gem, then choose the fusion option in the compass menu. It consumes one of each and gives you a Confluence Curse.
Crafting And Obtaining
The Fracture Blade is crafted at a crafting table. Its recipe uses one Memory Fragment, one diamond, and one stick:
Memory Fragments come from Revenant victories and completed memory trials. Defeating all three memory guardians grants two fragments. The Revenant also drops a fragment, and may drop an Ember or Frost Curse Gem.
The Echo Relic is a Revenant victory reward. If you defeat the Revenant while carrying a Confluence Curse and have not awakened a relic before, the curse is consumed and the relic awakens.
Abilities And Mechanics
- Willpower and sin resonance: These values appear on your action bar. Combat raises resonance; Fracture Blade hits also cost willpower. Death lowers willpower. Low willpower in the Abyss can bring bouts of nausea or slowness.
- Fracture Blade mastery: Landing hits builds mastery. After 30 hits, the blade grants brief Strength when its style is aggressive, or brief Resistance when its style is guarded. High resonance favors the guarded style.
- Echo Relic: Use the relic for brief Strength and Resistance, at the cost of willpower. It has a cooldown. An awakened relic provides stronger boosts and damages nearby enemies when used; while carried in the Abyss, it also grants Resistance.
- Revenant combat: The Revenant has substantial health, fires arrows at range, and can attack with melee strikes. Its challenge and the memory trial are unavailable on Peaceful difficulty.
- Abyss materials: Abyss Grassstone and Ashen Shore are shovel-mineable; Abyssal Layerstone and Fractured Deepstone are pickaxe-mineable.
Progression And Strategy
Try a memory trial early to earn fragments for the Fracture Blade and restore willpower. Use the blade carefully: each hit builds resonance but drains a little willpower. Keep an eye on both values in the archive or action bar.
Revenant victories restore some willpower, increase resonance, and provide an Echo Relic. Gather both types of curse gem from its drops, fuse them through the menu, and carry the Confluence Curse into a later victory to awaken the relic. Complete three Ancient Memory trials and earn an Abyss victory to unlock the Ancient Fractured bloodline.
