Gain Renown with Zul’jarra’s Forces

Before you even make landfall on the Coiled Isle, you’ll begin accumulating Renown with Zul’jarra’s Forces through a series of quests in Zul’Aman as you aid Lady Liadrin, Orweyna, and Zul’jarra. As you progress through the campaign and new zone, you’ll gain access to a variety of new rewards and can purchase them from the Renown Quartermaster, Jan’sari the Watchful in Tokka’s Landing.

Players can earn Renown by progressing through the campaign, completing activities across the zone, and aiding the Amani resistance. Each Renown rank unlocks new rewards, cosmetics, progression bonuses, and profession opportunities.

Pursue Zul’jan Into The Altar of Fangs Dungeon

Located within the Vaults of Atal’Utek, this three-boss dungeon carries players further into the ongoing story of Zul’jan and the treacherous path he treads in his bid for power beyond the loa.

Bosses: 3
Location: Vaults of Atal’Utek, The Coiled Isle
Difficulties: Dungeon Follower, Normal, Heroic, Mythic

• Ravi: This ravenous hydra has survived this cursed place through scavenging the meat of the fallen. That doesn’t mean it is not a fearsome combatant, eager to add some fresh temple explorers to its otherwise rotting diet.
• The Writhing Coil: In the feeding frenzy upon each other, there has been one Child of Ula’tek that has proved victorious over the rest of the brood. With every battle won, the twisting monstrosity known as the Writhing Coil only grows stronger.
• Zul’jan: With the Fang of Ula’tek, Zul’jan performs the final ritual to gain the power to release the monstrous weapon his ancestors sealed away thousands of years ago. Still held in sway of the spirit of Malacrass, Zul’jan is unaware that the Fang is also the only hope for his sister Zul’jarra’s survival.

The Vaults of Atal’Utek

Hidden beneath the Coiled Isle, the Vaults of Atal’Utek are an ancient Amani complex that serves as the heart of the island’s repeatable content and public events. Complete the quest, “Into the Vaults of Atal’Utek” from Warleader Abdumati to unlock access, then take part in Temple Patrols, Strikes, Incursions, and battles against Ancient Foes to earn Corrosive Souls, Trovehunter’s Bounty, Venom-Cursed Fragments, Corrosive Coins, and Renown with Zul’jarra’s Forces. It’s dangerous to go it alone, so you may want to make friends or bring a couple with you.

Amani Windcallers can help transport you around the Vaults and even use the wind to hide you temporarily from sight from hostile creatures as you travel through the caustic depths. As you progress through the Vaults of Atal’Utek, you can gain access to additional points making it easier to traverse over the pools of venom.

Get the Upper Hand at the Altar of Corrosion

The Altar of Corrosion is a zone progression system that grants exploration, combat, mobility, and reward bonuses throughout the Coiled Isle. Spend Corrosive Coins to unlock various abilities in a custom talent tree at the Altar of Corrosion in the Amani Foothold in the Vaults of Atal’Utek. These perks will aid you as you continue to explore throughout the Coiled Isle. Additionally, as you unlock more traits, you will also unlock multipliers to the Corrosive Coins you earn within the Vaults, as shown at the top of the tree.

You can stop by the altar at any time to change your talents out.

The Skull of Er’inye vendor offers mounts, companion pets, cosmetic armor sets, weapon arsenals, profession recipes, and housing decorations in exchange for Corrosive Coins.

Corrosive Coin: Spirits of the Amani within the Vaults of Atal’Utek deal exclusively in this phantasmal token.

Unlock the Corrosive Codex

You’ll also unlock access to the Corrosive Codex at the Altar of Corrosion through a short questline beginning with the quest “Corrosive Gifts: Corrosive Power.” You’ll need the Codex of the Soul Coilers item first to begin the first quest.

Corrosive Powers can be unlocked in any order, allowing you to choose which options are active at any time. After unlocking eight Corrosive Powers, players will be able to have two powers active at once, empowering them to create powerful synergistic combinations.

These powers can be used in Midnight outdoor zones and within Delves. Players will also encounter a mysterious projection of the Altar of Corrosion within Midnight Delves once the system has been unlocked, allowing players to change and experiment with power combinations at the start of any of these Delves.

You’ll need to use Corrosive Souls to unlock Corrosive Powers. This currency can be obtained from a variety of outdoor activities including Vaults of Atal’Utek activities and bosses, the Prey boss, Ral’Kala, Curse Surges, the lair with Nymrissa Wavecaller, and through Bountiful Delves and Prey Hunts. They can either be spent at the Altar of Corrosion using the Corrosive Codex or given to the Skull of Er’inye vendor in exchange for Corrosive Coins.
