Hard mode gives a more demanding Tech Duinn route and enhanced rewards, but entry consumes a specific pass and tradeable chest eligibility remains separate.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Tech Duinn Geata in Sen Mag or the Scuabtuinne Geata after its Generation 23 unlock.
This route is for players who have unlocked Tech Duinn and are ready for a Hard mission. The Geata offers Feth Fiada, Revived Illusion, Seven Nightmares, and Awakened Abyssal Lord; each has a Hard option. Secure the appropriate Solo or Party-of-4 pass before you form the run, then choose the mission and clear it. If you are chasing tradeable chest rewards, Neartite applies at the chest stage; the entry pass does not improve other drop rates.
Generation 22 Tech Duinn unlock and access to the selected mission.
A Hard Solo pass for solo entry, or a Hard Party-of-4 pass held by the party leader for party entry.
A prepared solo build or a group of up to four for the selected Hard mission.
Neartite if seeking eligibility for tradeable chest rewards.
Check that the desired mission is unlocked and select solo or party entry.
Acquire the matching Hard pass from the Researcher’s Shop or through an earned party-pass reward.
For a party entry, confirm the leader holds the Party-of-4 pass before reaching the entry confirmation.
Choose Feth Fiada, Revived Illusion, Seven Nightmares, or Awakened Abyssal Lord, then select Hard.
Clear the mission while adapting to the chosen encounter’s enemies and mechanics.
At the end chest, use Neartite only if pursuing the tradeable reward pool.
Collect the result and note which pass and reward target should guide the next attempt.
Farming tips
Only the leader needs to hold the party pass for a party entry.
The Hard pass covers entry; it does not increase unrelated chest drop rates.
Repeat, collect and use
Hard missions can be repeated when another appropriate pass is available. Neartite reward eligibility is a separate, limited consideration; neither a pass nor Neartite guarantees a particular drop.
Common mistakes
Arriving with a Solo pass for a party run or vice versa; match the pass to the entry type.
Expecting every party member to hold the party pass; the leader must have it.
Spending Neartite without a tradeable reward goal; reserve it for an eligible chest worth pursuing.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the desired Hard reward or practice target is met, or pause to obtain another pass before scheduling the next entry.
