WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm Phase Beasts in areas including Saltbarrens, Frost Hills, and Sundered Battlefield.
Phase Beast portals lead to challenges selected from the pool for the area where the beast appears. Some challenges emphasize chests or other objectives, but the reward is not a guaranteed gold amount or unique item. Treat each portal as a short side activity: read its objective, finish it, and collect the available reward before returning to the main map. If the activity draw is not useful for your gear or build, continue exploring for other content.
Before you go Reach an overworld area with a Phase Beast. Be prepared to defeat the beast and complete its randomly selected challenge. Leave room for drops and chest rewards. Explore the region until you locate a Phase Beast. Defeat the beast and enter the challenge portal it opens. Read the objective and identify hazards or targets before committing to a fight. Complete the challenge and collect accessible chests and dropped loot. Check the reward before leaving so gold and equipment are not overlooked. Return to the overworld and resume exploration or seek another activity. Farming tips Sundered Battlefield’s Avoid the Lava challenge is noted as a chest-focused option, but the portal draw is random. Pick up and compare items before leaving; a unique drop is possible but not guaranteed. Repeat, collect and use Repeat with other Phase Beasts as you encounter them. Challenge type and loot vary, so this is not a selectable gold or unique farm.
Common mistakes Entering with a full inventory and missing useful drops; make room before the challenge. Assuming you can select Avoid the Lava or another specific task; the challenge is randomly chosen. Leaving before checking chests; inspect the objective area after completion. When to stop or switch Complete the current challenge and leave when its rewards are collected; skip further searching if the activity is too risky or offers little value.
