How to get Kulemak's Invitation

  • The Invitation drops from Abyssal Commanders — Tasgul, Swallower of Light and Vandroth, Blackblooded Enslaver — found in hidden Abyssal Cities.
  • Abyssal Cities appear inside Abyssal Depths in high-level maps (area level 79+), so push deep into the Abyss cracks on the Atlas to find them.
  • Neither Commander is guaranteed to appear in a given map, but when one does, it always drops the Invitation.

How to use Kulemak's Invitation

  • Offer Kulemak's Invitation at the sealed door in the Well of Souls to open the final arena.
  • Inside, the Vessel of Kulemak fights in multiple phases, reviving several times before staying down — bring sustained damage, not just a burst opener.
