WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm Act 2: Endless Desert, from The Cursed at 7:00 to The Djinn at 20:00.
Endless Desert has bosses at 7:00, 14:00 and 20:00: The Cursed, Insect Queen and The Djinn. Defeating a boss improves the shop’s item quality ceiling, giving each checkpoint value even when the run ends before the final fight. Secure progress in order and judge continuation by the build’s remaining safety.
Before you go Unlock Endless Desert. Build for both wave clear and boss damage. Keep mobility and an escape route for the Act’s area hazards. Start an Act 2 run and build steadily through the opening waves. Before 7:00, move into open ground and defeat The Cursed while responding to its acid hazard and close-range threat. Check the shop after the first boss if you need a stronger item. Before 14:00, approach the Insect Queen with room to move and clear helpers if they prevent meaningful damage to her. Reassess the build and shop after the Queen’s checkpoint. If the run remains stable, prepare for The Djinn before 20:00; use available cover against its fire and area attacks. Collect the run’s actual rewards and compare equipment in town. Farming tips Each boss checkpoint can improve shop quality, so inspect the shop as you progress. Act 2 is the Tier 2 realm; finishing reliably can prepare a build for Darkmoor. Repeat, collect and use Repeat the sequence for boss rewards and item opportunities. The farm is repeatable, but exact drops and quantities vary.
Common mistakes Ignoring hazards while attacking The Cursed; move as soon as the area danger appears. Attacking the Insect Queen through helpers that block meaningful damage; clear the obstructing adds. Assuming every run must reach The Djinn; bank a reliable earlier checkpoint when the build is strained. When to stop or switch Continue toward Act 3 once you can regularly reach the later Act 2 checkpoints with a build that survives the route.
