Emberbound: Three Pyres

Keep moving. Close the loop.

Every step leaves a trail of fire. Circle back before it fades to burn the enemies inside. Attacks fire automatically, freeing you to dodge and gather embers. Chain three loops that each catch at least five enemies to trigger a blast.

Build your blaze

Choose from ten powers. Bring matching powers to rank III and earn a seal to unlock one of six evolutions. Track a recipe, banish an upgrade, specialize your loop and dodge, or bring Blades, Phoenix or Frost to rank V to unlock its mastery.

Survive the night

Fight through Watchers’ Wood, Lantern Marsh and the Sunken Forges. At five and ten minutes, hordes form crescents and double columns where the terrain allows. Use the terrain to your advantage and face the realm’s two-phase guardian after fifteen minutes.

Choose your risks

Defend the last tree, escort the lantern or seal the vents. Rekindle pyres in standard or intense trials. The intense trial awards an evolution seal and restores up to 35 HP. Relics come with trade-offs and elites can drop boons.

Three embers to play

Start as Spark and unlock Flicker and Cinder. Each character has two starting styles. Try pacts and fixed-loadout challenges, consult the bestiary and tactical recap, or replay a seed from your run history.
