How it worksValuable dropsBossFAQ

How Breach works

  • Opening a Breach starts an on-screen timer; killing enemies inside it extends the encounter.
  • Resist the invasion long enough to stabilise the Breach and fight the strongest Hiveborn within.
  • Harvest Hiveblood from slain Hiveborn to fertilise the Genesis Tree, unlocking exclusive new jewellery base types (Wombgifts plus new rings and amulets) with modifiers found nowhere else.
  • Pushing into the Hiveborn domain reveals living hives and vast Skyhives, where the Breachlords wait.
