wow A Look Inside Torghast's Secret Treasure Room

[Stan 5,020]

A look inside the "secret goblin" treasure room of Torghast.

As previously noted, Torghast comes with goblin-like mobs called Lost Dredgers. When you use Ravenous Anima Cell on them, they have a chance to spawn a portal that leads to a secret treasure room.

But we actually haven't looked at how the room looks like in the game until now. The room is full of Ashen Phylacteries that contain Phantasma and Anima Hoards that give you Anima Powers.

You can use the portal in the secret room to return where you were before. Thanks to SS977 for the screenshot.

I got the portal too today. It's definitely good but not as exciting as I had hoped: I got 4 anima cells which ended up being decent common picks and the pots don't drop more phantasma than the usual pots. I thought the pots would hold an extra amount or the powers to have higher probablity or 100% chance of being rare/epic. Seeing the chances of actually getting a portal makes me think you should only try it if you have a spare ravenous orb and not saving your only one for it and missing out on good unique powers. It's a fun addition, though.

There are only 3 good "unique" powers you can get from the Ravenous Anima Cell.

One of them is only useful in the Fracture Chambers and Upper Reach. Use it on most of the mage type units found in there, as well as the mid-size zombie mobs. It greatly increases the amount of Phantasm you get from the little skeletons as well as the elite zombies.

The other one comes from Elementals and casters in the Soulforges. It gives 65% fire damage reduction, which is hella useful in the Soulforge, and provides you resistance to most fire traps (The Fire Trap which releases flames in a random pattern will still one-shot you at higher difficulty lvls regardless).

 

The third is 10-20 soul remnants from Archers and Interceptors, which spawn primarily in Skoldus Hall, but Archers can randomly spawn on other floors as part of a 3 man ambush squad.

Otherwise the powers are either for convenience (The 4 different mount powers) or completely !@#$ing useless (Everything else).

 

So getting 3-4 anima powers for the price of 1 cell is pretty damn good value.

Did not know about using Ravenous Anima Cells on the Dredgers till now; good to know on my future ventures into Torghast on the main and alts.

To add to the data paucity about this event, I did hit one with the orb just as he was casting his escape spell, and got the portal. I recommend that if you want to try this, you clear all the way to the exit first.

That's what I thought at first too, but the problem is the low chance of the portal actually spawning and it not being guaranteed. Most of the times you'll end up with 75 anima, which means you just lost 175 anima and probably missed one of the powers you mentioned. I think it's better to save them up until at the 3rd wing of your run and decide there whether you want to use them for the powers in your list (if even possible) or hope for a Lost Dredger there.
