New Raid – Sanctum of Domination


For eons the Jailer was bound within The Maw. Now, his endless armies gather as he expands its boundaries to consume Oribos. In the face of annihilation, Bolvar marshals his last remaining allies to charge into the heart of Torghast and confront the Jailer where he is most powerful.

This new Raid has 10 bosses.

The updated Maw


The Maw has been added with assaults. Similar to assaults in previous expansions.

Two times a week we get an assault.

An assault is two covenants that team up to attack a specific zone in The Maw and you help them complete this mission.
The objective is to complete the 4 quests that is handed to you when you get there.

Once completing an assault, you will be rewarded with reputation, gear, currencies and more.

This “small” change in the Maw has made it so much better.

The Eye – removed

Very early in the main questline, you will remove the Eye from the Maw, meaning that you can be there as long as you want.
