Altars of Sorrow is a horde mode public event on the Moon.
Overview
The Altars are located in Sorrow's Harbor on the Moon. The event activates on its own, displaying a message saying "The Hive call out to the Darkness". The Altars of Sorrow are on a time limit, each tier has a 1 minute timer.
There are several circular plates, altars, located all around the area. When the event is active, there is a green crystal hovering above one of the plates, shining a beam of pale green light down at the altar. A dark green dome covers one or more nearby altars. Players cannot enter these domes, but enemies come out of them.
Enemies can be separated into two types: normal Hive and Nightmares. Players have to defeat Nightmares before they sacrifice themselves at the altar with a crystal. If a Nightmare reaches its destination, it takes 10 seconds from the event's timer. Defeating ordinary Hive adds 1 second to the event's timer for each enemy killed.
Tiers
The event consists of six tiers, each is harder than the previous one. From third tier onwards, the wave of Nightmares is interrupted by shielded Wizards which hover by the enemy spawns. Their shields can be removed with cleavers, dropped by Accursed Swordbearers, Knights which spawn during this phase. Once the Wizards are defeated, the Nightmares resume their march.
- Tier I — four Nightmares;
- Tier II — five Nightmares;
- Tier III — six Nightmares, two Wizards;
- Tier IV — seven Nightmares, four Wizards;
- Tier V — eight Nightmares, six Wizards.
Bosses
The final tier consists of a boss fight. There are three bosses, they rotate daily and each drops a specific weapon. These bosses are the same as in the Nightmare Hunts, and just like in the Hunts, they occasionally become immune to all damage. During this immunity phase, the event's Nightmare enemies will spawn and try to make their way to the altar nearby. Once they are defeated or sacrificed, the boss loses its shield. If the time runs out during the boss fight, the event goes back to Tier V.
- Nightmare of Phogoth, the Untamed — drops Blasphemer;
- Nightmare of Taniks, the Scarred — drops Apostate;
- Nightmare of Zydron, Gate Lord — drops Heretic.
Rewards
- The Bane of Crota Shell has a small chance to drop from any boss' reward chest.
