The third in our series of instance previews takes us to the normal mode of Rift's Edge, an instance for 10 players.
The teleportal to Rift's Edge can be found in the Timeless Woods in Essenia. You should have an item level of at least 159 when entering this instance.
Your first challenge will be to defeat the Guwangi Captain who is guarding the first gate. There are two options – either you kill all the guwangi standing around him first, and then defeat the captain free from distractions, or you go straight for the jugular and aim to take out the captain and his men all at once.

Once you've defeated the Guwangi Captain you'll be able to press on to the Berserk Arachnaea, the Junction Gatekeeper. Defeat this monstrous spider to reach the airship which can take five players at a time over the ravine. Soon after the first group has departed, a second airship will become available.

The airships will take your group to an entirely new type of enemy: Yativio the Insectivore.

Yativio the Insectivore[/b]
[align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/34.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/34.png[/img][/url][/align]Yativio has a multitude of melee and distance attacks, and can summon monsters which either attack you directly or make him stronger. [align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/44.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/44.png[/img][/url][/align]The small yellow plants chase you down and explode once they've caught you. Avoid bunching together with your group when they are chasing you, as they cause damage all around them. [align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/52.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/52.png[/img][/url] [url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/62.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/62.png[/img][/url][/align]The blue and green plants present no attackable surfaces, and give Yativio a stackable buff. With each use of this effect, Yativio's power increases by 1%. Destroy these plants as quickly as possible to prevent him becoming too strong. [align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/72.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/72.png[/img][/url][/align]When Yativio starts to glow red, retreat as far away from him as possible. He'll release a circle of poison that fills almost the entire area. [align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/82.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/82.png[/img][/url] [/align][align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/92.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/92.png[/img][/url][/align] Avoid his various AoE attacks (wide circles, sharp spikes) as much as possible. [align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/101.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/101.png[/img][/url][/align]Yativio beats the ground around him with tendrils, unleashing areas of damage which move towards distant players in a straight line. After Yativio has been killed, the group will be rewarded with various items, such as a Blue Spiritual Imbued Blue Bead, Legacy Patron or Surrend equipment items. In the following room, all of the Elite Rift-Warriors must be defeated before you can move on to Vesporax. [b]
Vesporax the Giant Hornet[/b]
[align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/112.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/112.png[/img][/url][/align]Vesporax's attacks range from frontal AoE attacks, to aggressive bees, to area attacks that fill the entire room. Vesporax attacks you with poisonous stings, venom sprays and swarms of bees. [align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/121.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/121.png[/img][/url][/align]You should try to avoid the wide-reaching bee onslaught. This shouldn't be a problem for classes dealing damage to Vesporax from behind, but tanks shouldn't be left exposed to it without protection. [align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/131.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/131.png[/img][/url][/align]Vesporax spins around quickly, dealing damage to everything around her. [align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/141.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/141.png[/img][/url][/align]Dodge the sting, which can both deal damage and stun you! [align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/15.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/15.png[/img][/url][/align]If Vesporax flies into the air, all players standing behind her should quickly move to the side. He fires numerous barbs at the ground, which cause damage on contact. [align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/16.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/16.png[/img][/url][/align]Vesporax can also attack with his mandibles, turning 180° and damaging players all around. [align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/17.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/17.png[/img][/url][/align]Bees will occasionally be summoned which chase and poison you. Draw them towards the parasites and have them kill them for you, or defeat them yourselves. [align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/18.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/18.png[/img][/url][/align]When Vesporax moves towards the middle of the room, she's preparing her most powerful attack. This fills the entire cave, leaving only a few areas where it is safe to stand. The area attacks cause damage every second, and since the healers only have a tiny amount of space to use their skills in, don't stand still in the attack area whatever you do!
After Vesporax has been defeated, your group will be rewarded with various items, such as a Blue Spiritual Imbued Blue Bead, Legacy Patron or Abnegate equipment items. [b]
Koleogg the Giant Beetle[/b]
[align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/19.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/19.png[/img][/url][/align]The final boss in the Rift's Edge instance is Koleogg, a further new opponent type with the appearance of a giant beetle. His attacks are characterised by lightning, and aside from dealing damage can also cause effects such as a distorted screen or immoveable characters.
[u]Noxious Fumes[/u]
[align=center][url='http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/20.png'][img]http://en.tera.gameforge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/20.png[/img][/url][/align]Watch out! Sometimes Koleogg will turn around to produce a wide-reaching cone attack.

Each time this effect stacks, the affected players will lose 2% HP per second. The effect can be removed simply by jumping.

[u]Massive Lightning Charge[/u]
There are three variants of this attack, depending on the buff done to Koleogg. [list][*]If he is using a 30-second shield, the healers must remove it to make Koleogg particularly susceptible to being knocked down for a short period.[*]If he is using a 60-second shield, crystals will be summoned. Destroy all of the crystals, causing walls to shoot up from the ground which protect you from Koleogg's powerful area attack.[*]If he has a permanent shield, you must deal Koleogg a huge amount of damage in a short space of time to destroy the shield. If not, all group members will be dealt masses of damage and thrown to the ground. Priests can use Kaia's Shield to reduce the amount of damage and prevent group members being thrown to the ground.[/list]The following loot may await you when you defeat Koleogg: [list][*]Gold[*]Master Enigmatic Scroll[*]Tier 14 & 15 sacrifice items[*]Beautiful Koleogg's Wing[*]Koleogg's Wing[*]Blue Spiritual Imbued Blue Bead[*]Retool Bravuras[*]Draught and scroll recipes[*]Powerful brooch designs[*]Moloch equipment items[*]Legacy Patron equipment items[*]Muhrak's Curious Letter[*]Muhrak's Cryptic Document[*]Demokron's Plasma[*]Carapace Treasure Box[/list]
