Enter the Sift

Rifts appear in the Overworld once the main story reaches the first Sift quest. Entering one sends you to the Sift.

Entry

Rifts are the way in

The Sift is reached through rifts that appear in the Overworld, not from a permanent menu. Once you enter, you arrive in the Sift world layer.

47 Overworld rifts are recorded as entry points.

Getting around

Minecart Stations

Minecart stations connect the Sift. Discover them once and you can fast travel between them.

World rules

What Changes When You Enter the Sift?

The Sift is a separate world layer, so a few rules and habits change when you cross a rift.

  • Different terrain

    Regions such as Singer's Meadow, Humbler Huskland and Lullaby Hills each have their own look, hazards and ambience instead of the Overworld terrain.

  • Traversal

    Travel works through rift entry points and minecart stations rather than one continuous Overworld path.

  • Hazards and themes

    Some areas are built around hazard themes. Check the region page before you commit a build, because the safe route is not always obvious.

  • Stronger encounters

    Sift encounters lean on corruption, soul and heavy elite pressure. Region pages list the confirmed mobs and bosses for each area.

  • World events

    Soul Storms and storm generators can appear in eligible Sift regions, adding timed objectives and stronger waves.

Exact mechanic values stay on the region, quest and boss owners. This page only explains what changes.

Endgame handoff

Soul Storms in the Sift

The Sift is not the Soul Storm mode. Storms are a separate endgame system that can also reach eligible Sift regions.

Soul Storms are an endgame system that can affect eligible regions, including parts of the Sift. They add generator objectives, stronger encounters and better reward chances.

3 of 7 eligible regions are in the Sift

Sift regions are eligible for Soul Storms.

Storm timing, shields and reward rules live on the Soul Storm page, not here.
