WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Sundered Battlefield Phase Beast portal when Avoid the Lava is selected.

Avoid the Lava is a Sundered Battlefield Phase Beast challenge described as a chest-focused route. The encounter combines a hazard to avoid with loot opportunities, so move carefully through the challenge rather than treating it as an ordinary room clear. The portal type is randomized when a Phase Beast is defeated; this route is only available when that activity is drawn. Collect accessible chests before exiting, and do not assume a particular chest or unique item will appear.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Reach Sundered Battlefield and locate a Phase Beast.
  • Receive the Avoid the Lava portal from its challenge pool.
  • Have enough health and movement control to navigate the hazard.
  1. Defeat the Phase Beast and enter the portal.
  2. Observe the lava hazard and identify a safe path before crossing the challenge area.
  3. Move along the safe route while avoiding unnecessary exposure to the hazard.
  4. Deal with enemies that block access without losing track of the safe ground.
  5. Search the accessible route for chests and open them before leaving.
  6. Collect useful drops, then exit and return to the overworld.

Farming tips

  • The challenge is chest-focused, so check the route and side areas you can safely reach.
  • Do not assume every Sundered Battlefield beast opens Avoid the Lava; its challenge draw varies.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat when another Phase Beast opens this challenge. Portal selection and chest contents are random.

Common mistakes

  • Rushing into lava while pursuing a chest; take a safe route and leave inaccessible loot.
  • Leaving without opening chests; inspect areas you can reach safely.
  • Assuming a particular unique or gold amount is guaranteed; evaluate the actual drops.

When to stop or switch

Finish once accessible chests are collected; leave early if the hazard makes the remaining route too dangerous for your character.
