Empyrean Onslaughts are timed invasion events that rotate across four Ascension hunting zones: Hinterwilds, Moonsedge, The Hive, and Sailors Grief. When an Onslaught is active, invasion portals appear in the targeted zone and transport you to the Empyrean fleet. Each Onslaught runs for four hours before the fleet withdraws.

Use GEM ONSLAUGHT to check whether an event is currently active, where it's happening, and how much time remains.

These specific changes are applied to the test realm:
The quest Shadow's Descent is disabled. No spoilers!
Access to Onslaughts is not gated by Shadow's Descent.
There is a cooldown of one minute between Onslaughts, rather than day(s).

Head to the test realm, give it a spin, and report any issue you have at ⁠[https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1505233733559521430/1505233733559521430 mechanics = Empyrean Onslaughts and Codices]
