Awakening
The long-term endgame ladder: 10 levels (I to X), each demanding a longer list of permanent account milestones.
Awakening mixes permanent account breadth with progress toward your next Awakening: completed Sanctum rituals, qualified 50+ wave runs, boss and enemy kills, power uses, crafted artifacts, rune ascensions, trained companions, maxed powers, Campaign and Artifact Attunement. It has no diamond, daily-chest or best-wave requirements. Each level requires every condition on its list (5 up to 12).
How Sanctum rituals are counted
Every completed Sanctum ritual counts as one, except the Ritual of the Deep Vein (Sanctum). AW I requires 400 rituals completed across the account. AW II–VII count only rituals completed after the previous Awakening. AW VIII requires 2,200 rituals in total, including all earlier ones. AW IX–X have no Sanctum ritual requirement.
How it appears
- Hidden at first — the game gives no hints early
- A whisper appears once you carry late-game signs (Epic+ gear or a Tier II artifact)
- The full condition list reveals at roughly 60% completion
- After Awakening I it stays visible permanently
What it unlocks
Awakening levels open the Awakening tree and AP, spells and spell slots, jewelry slots, extra rune slots, rune ascension capacity, ascension bonuses and bigger material caps. It is the gate to every endgame system.
