Major Pulse Rift
A high-intensity Major Pulse Rift anchored in the trauma of Orc history—designed for experienced parties seeking tougher foes, elevated Chronocite gains, and premium loot scaling with difficulty.
Orc Dominion Instance
Orc Dominion is a Major Pulse Rift. Entry can only be accessed by using an Apex Rift Stone—the stone opens a random Major Pulse Rift, which may be this instance. A party of at least two players is required.
- Only the party leader can use the stone or start the instance.
- Solo players must still create a party before entering.
- Only party members present when the instance starts will have the instance created for them.
Rift Stones drop from monsters globally; see Obtaining Rift Stones for drop rates.
| Requirements | Reward Incentives |
|---|---|
| Base Level: 30+ | Chronocites (amount depends on difficulty) |
| Party: 2+ (required) | Orc Hero Transformation Buff, first-clear Ring of The Fallen, optional Lost Rift Traveller |
| Time Limit: 24 hours | Special Difficulty Bonuses |
Pulse Rift Walkthrough
Instance Information- Instance Cooldown Quest Name: Relive the Orc Dominion
- Instance Time Limit: 2 hours
- Map Names: 1@orcs, 2@orcs
Floor 1 (1@orcs): Shaman Grimnara sealed the basement into 4 zones. Each zone has Puppet Orcs—kill them to unseal the next zone. Avoid killing normal Orcs; every kill causes High Orcs to gather at the path to the second floor and can block it completely. Be as sneaky as possible. Touch Orc Hero Thragar once for a random buff (including a 30‑minute Orc Hero transformation). Floor 2 (2@orcs): Unseal zones by lighting the braziers in order; only the party leader can strengthen the flames—protect your leader. Then defeat Rekenber Orc Hero (Dominion Orc Hero), then Shaman Grimnara (Dominion Orc Lady) to complete the rift and earn Chronocites plus the Orc Hero Transformation buff.

Strategy Tips
- Be sneaky on floor 1: Your goal is to kill only Puppet Orcs to unseal each zone. Every normal Orc you kill causes High Orcs to gather at the path to the second floor—the path can be completely blocked if you fight too much.
- Focus on Puppet Orcs: Seek out and eliminate the Puppet Orcs in each of the four zones; they are the only kills that progress you. Avoid pulling or killing other Orcs when possible.
- Protect your party leader on floor 2: Only the party leader can light the braziers (in order). Keep your leader alive so they can unseal each zone and reach the boss area.
- Boss order: You fight Rekenber Orc Hero (Dominion Orc Hero) first, then Shaman Grimnara (Dominion Orc Lady). Save cooldowns and burst for Grimnara after the first boss falls.
- First clear: After defeating Grimnara, talk to the Orc Warrior near the exit to receive Ring of The Fallen once per rift. Use Ymir's Projection to leave when done.
