Notes

• The appearance of a rift is announced via an on-screen, map-wide message stating "An active disturbance has been detected!".
• There is always one event active on the map. Should one be completed or time out, a new one will immediately spawn in the other four locations.
  • The locations do not have a fixed sequence, so it is possible that the event will respawn in a recently cleared location.
  • The two western locations are visible north of  Venta Pass Waypoint — , while the other three locations are visible after climbing the cliff south of  Yatendi Village Waypoint — - with the top of the Rilohn River bubble visible in the distance to the north.
• Entering the event bubble gives you ₅ Confusion.
• Event scaling can lead to multiple incursions and Tethered Riftstalkers may occur within a single rift event.
• Should the event fail, the area around will be under the Shattered Reality effect:

This area has been destabilized due to Branded incursions. Prevent Branded invasions to repair damage to the world.

Bugs:

• A rift may randomly despawn when the pre-event timer ("Time until rift is fully formed") reaches 0 seconds, the cause is unknown. A new event will spawn in a different location.
