2. Explore the realms and mine their ores with a pickaxe. Use the ore to craft a realm weapon, such as a .
3. When ready for a boss fight, craft a and use it in an open area. The Cinder Colossus appears a few blocks in front of you. Defeating a champion drops Realm Essence, used in the other boss sigils.

Overview

Shattered Realms adds two dimensions to explore, four underground ores, seven craftable weapons, rune-themed weapon enchantments, and five bosses summoned with crafted sigils. Each champion defeat grants Realm Essence and advances the boss-fight advancement chain.

What It Adds

Realms and biomes

Travel between Astral Reach and Umbral Depths with their respective compasses. Their custom biomes include Astral Highlands, Starglass Fields, Aurora Forest, Comet Crags, Moonfall Basin, Crystal Tundra, Solar Badlands, Umbral Fen, Gloomwood, Obsidian Wastes, Echo Caverns, Duskmoor, and Hollow Shore.

Ores and weapons

Astral Ore, Umbral Ore, Cinder Ore, and Tide Ore generate underground in the custom biomes. Mine them with a pickaxe to craft realm weapons.

Bosses

Boss sigils summon named champions in familiar mob forms. Each has increased health:

How To Use

• Travel: Use an Astral Compass or Umbral Compass to go to its named realm. Use a Return Compass from either realm to travel back to the Overworld.
• Summon a champion: Hold its sigil and use it. The boss appears a few blocks ahead, so leave room and prepare the area before summoning.
• Enchant weapons: The mod’s weapons can be enchanted. Its 22 Rune enchantments are weapon enchantments with a maximum level of III; each adds weapon damage. They are Ember, Frost, Storm, Void, Vitality, Warding, Leeching, Swiftstep, Deep Mining, Treasure, Siphon, Thorns, Guardian, Precision, Tide, Wind, Gravity, Echo, Phoenix, Execution, Crescendo, and Astral Rune.

Weapons

The mod’s items are also available in the Combat tab of the Creative inventory.

Abilities And Mechanics

Each realm weapon adds extra damage on a successful hit. The bonus damage varies by weapon: Gloam Scythe +4, Riftblade +5, Glacier Edge +5.5, Cinderfang +6, Starfall Lance +7, Wardenbreaker +8, and Voidcleaver +9.

Realm Essence drops when one of the five sigil bosses dies. It is required for the Gloam Oracle, Hollow Warden, Rift Reaver, and Star Devourer sigils.

Progression And Strategy

The Cinder Colossus sigil is the only boss sigil recipe that does not require Realm Essence, making it a natural first challenge. Use the Essence it drops to craft another sigil, then gather the additional materials for that champion. The advancements track victories in this order: Cinder Colossus, Gloam Oracle, Hollow Warden, Rift Reaver, and Star Devourer.

Prepare a clear arena before using a sigil, especially for the later champions with much higher health.
