The twisted realm is a new world boss feature located in the guild halls. It can be unlocked after completing Stage 12-40.
It is on the same reset timer as the Arcane Labyrinth (48 hours).
Leaderboard
The highest score that a player achieves on the current boss will be shown on a global leaderboard. There are different leaderboards for players at different power levels. Under level 240, it’s based on the average power of their top 5 heroes. Beyond 240 it’s based purely on their Resonating Crystal level.
Rewards
Once the boss timer has expired, everyone will receive Twisted Essence & Poe coins in the mail based on their final placement. Twisted Essence is used to level up virtues in The Elder Tree, Poe Coins are used to buy furniture.
Diamonds can also be earned for everyone in their guild if they reach ‘Legend’ rank.
Boss Order
The bosses always rotate in the same order.
Kane > Demonic Entity > Arden > Ice Shemira > Grotesque Mage > Burning Brute

Skills
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
 Frozen Grasp | Shemira prioritizes her attack against two frontline enemies, dealing multiple instances of damage against them, also causing them to become slowed down. Shemira then unleashes a "Frost Nova" that deals damage to all enemies on the battlefield, freezing any enemies that have health lower than 50%. |
 Blizzard | When Shemira has stacked 1 layers of the "Enraged" effect a "Blizzard" will occur on the battlefield. While there is a blizzard occurring, enemies are unable to recover health. Once Shemira has stacked 1 layers of the "Enraged" effect, the blizzard's damage will be increase and also have a knock-back effect on enemies. |
 Frozen Barrier | Each time "Blizzard" is used, Shemira receives a shield that is able to mitigate damage for 12 seconds. Damage mitigated by the shield is equal to 5% of the damage required to stack another “Enraged" layer. Each stacked "Enraged" layer will increase the shield's value by 20%. Damage dealt to Shemira that is less than 50% of the shield's total value is completely negated. |

Demonic Entity
Waiting in the mist, the evil reflection of Nemora awaits its next victim. | ||||||
| #colspan# | Best Team[edgtf_separator position="center" border_style="" color="#dd3333" width="15%" thickness="4"]   Note: Rosaline needs to follow Shemira for it to work. | |||||
| #colspan# | Artifacts[edgtf_separator position="center" border_style="" color="#dd3333" width="15%" thickness="4"] Shemira (Blade), Estrilda (Eye/Chaos Bringer), Rosaline (Call), Rowan (Call), Twins (Call) | |||||
Strategy
This is the same boss from the Phantom of Horror’s Eve Event.
Nemora cannot be attacked, instead she will summon waves of 5 Dreafs. The general strategy is to use Shemira with support heroes to buff her energy and damage. These include the typical lineup of Rosaline, Rowan, Elijah & Lailah.
Another really good hero for this is Estrilda as her signature item is very strong for it.
Estrilda’s signature item increases the attack and defense ratings of all allies when an enemy is slain, this stacks up to 3 times. The Dreafs of Demonic Entity count as an enemy hero so it is permanently up during the fight.
Skills
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
 Baneful Guard | Produces a high-value shield around the ally with the lowest amount of energy. While protected by the shield, the affected ally will quickly recover energy. |
 Maligned Energy | Raises allies' Haste by 100 points and Crit Rating by 40 points for 5 seconds each time Dreaf is re-summoned. |
 Fiendish Underling | Nemora cannot be attacked. Whenever there are no surviving summoned Dreafs on the battlefield Nemora will summon 5 Dreafs. Summoned Dreafs will receive attribute increases when in an “Enraged" state and any damage that they receive will also be received by Nemora. |

Kane
The infernal knight that slayed his king. He knows nothing but bitterness and hatred. | ||||||
| #colspan# | Best Team[edgtf_separator position="center" border_style="" color="#dd3333" width="15%" thickness="4"]  Replacements: Daimon (Eye, 3/9 FI) for Mortas. Alternative Team: Saurus (Chaos Bringer/Blade), Rosaline (Blade, following Saurus), Belinda (Eye), Rowan (Call), Twins (Call). | |||||
| #colspan# | Artifacts[edgtf_separator position="center" border_style="" color="#dd3333" width="15%" thickness="4"] Talene (Blade), Grezhul (Eye), Warek (Chaos Bringer/Eye), Mortas (Tidebearer/Call), Twins (Call) | |||||
Strategy
Kane will kill your highest damage dealer at 3 points during the fight. This makes Talene the ideal candidate to counter him. However, it requires that she is the highest DPS, which might not always be viable.
Another strategy is to bring 2 DPS and sacrifice one of them at 15 seconds. This can be done by playing in manual mode and only using the ultimate ability on the hero you want to sacrifice. Once it dies, auto mode can be resumed.
Heroes such as Rosaline, Elijah & Lailah, Rowan are always going to be useful in this fight as support. The best DPS outside of Talene could be either Shemira, Athalia, Mehira, Baden, Isabella, Kaz, Safiya or Thane. Keep in mind that some of them may require upgraded signature items to really shine.
Skills
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
 Hell's Judgment | At 15, 40 and 65 seconds into the battle, the enemy that has dealt the highest amount of damage will be annihilated by Kane. |
 Dragon Fire | Kane's dragon breathes fire on enemies, dealing 130% AoE damage to them. |
 Hellblade | Deals multi-stage damage. The first stage deals 30% damage to all enemies, destroying all protective shields that they may be using. The second stage deals 165% damage to all enemies on the battlefield. |
In-game Guide
The Twisted Realm may be opened 2 times per day.
The floor that players are placed on is based upon the average value of their 5 heroes which are currently standing upon the Pentagram within the Resonating Crystal. After reaching a Resonating Crystal level of 240, floor placement will then be based upon the Resonating Crystal level and no longer based upon average level of Pentagram heroes. Players currently on the same floor will compete against one another on the same leaderboard.
The Twisted Realm floor placements are determined by the average level of all heroes currently standing upon the Pentagram within the Resonating Crystal or the Pentagram’s own level after the player has surpassed a Pentagram level of 240.
Heroes within the Twisted Realm will all be set to the same level, however, heroes’ gear and ascension levels will remain as they originally were.
Players may only mercenaries, dimensional heroes and heroes which are within the Resonating Crystal.
Bosses will stack attributes and grow stronger every time a certain amount of their health is lost.
Within each new Twisted Realm session, players are able to challenge bosses 5 times for free, after which the expenditure of diamonds will be required in order to continue challenging bosses. Players may challenge bosses a maximum of 99 times per session. One battle challenge attempt will be deducted each time a player enters a battle.
Only one mercenary may be used per formation within the Twisted Realm, however, the number of times that a mercenary can be used is unlimited.
Only the highest recorded damage dealt throughout all boss challenges will count towards your final ranking. Your final ranking will be determined at the end of each session.
At the end of each Twisted Realm session players will receive two (guild and individual rewards) e-mails that include their rewards.
Reward Rules
Rewards displayed here are an indication of your final session rewards, which are determined by the highest amount of damage you have currently dealt, as well as your current ranking. The final amount of rewards you receive will be determined at the end of the session and may differ slightly from the above number.

Lore
The Twisted Realm belongs to a dimension that does not adhere to the conventional laws of space and time. The scientists of Esperia predicted that the world may not be as we see it and that in actual fact there are countless planes of existence, much like a floor that exist in-parallel.
The Twisted Realm now begins to grow and encroaches upon the physical plane also known as Esperia. The line between reality and this peculiar dream-like state becomes increasingly blurred with each passing day.
The Hypogeans are using this malevolent plane to project their hellish intentions onto the unblemished minds of the Esperian denizens. Sensing this malevolent encroachment, Tasi Dreamhopper has called upon Esperia’s greatest warriors halt this affliction that threatens the world’s very existence.
