Cursed City

What is Cursed City?

Cursed City is a monthly challenge: you fight your way across Sintranos, one stage at a time, against fixed teams of enemies, under special team conditions that change. The city is split into 4 districts, Cobblemarket, Deadrise, Plagueholme and Soulcross, each with 25 stages. Beyond them waits Amius the Lunar Archon, the final boss, who has his own stage.

Clearing the boss stages earns Artifacts and Accessories from two gear sets you cannot get anywhere else: Supersonic and Merciless. Amius pays Cursed Remnants, which buy summons of Epic and Mythical champions, Void Epics among them.

The monthly rotation

Cursed City restarts every 30 days, at 14:15 UTC. The current rotation ends on 26 November 2026 at 14:15 UTC.

Each stage pays its first-clear reward once a rotation, and your progress through the city starts again when the rotation does. So clear what you can before it ends.

Keys

Every attempt on a stage costs 1 Cursed City Key, and you can hold up to 8. They refill over time; the game’s files do not say how many a day, so check in the game. Amius himself costs no key, but you need 3 Eclipse Keys to fight him (see Barriers and Eclipse Keys below).

Normal and Hard

Every district has the same 25 stages on Normal and on Hard, and Amius is on both. Hard is the step up: stronger enemies, and its own Cursed Remnants, kept apart from the Normal ones. Your progress on the two difficulties is separate, so a stage cleared on Normal is still waiting on Hard.

Every stage page here shows the enemy champions of that stage on the difficulty you pick, wave by wave, with their stats.

The kinds of stage

• Normal stages: 16 in each district. Three waves against a fixed team.
• Boss stages (a crown on the map): 3 in each district. One boss on its own.
• Double Boss stages (a crown and a double ring): 3 in each district. Two bosses at once.
• Awakened stages (a dashed ring): the last three of each district, 23 to 25. They ask for a team that brings Awakened champions: the Awakening grades of your team are added up and must reach the number shown on the stage.
• Amius: the final boss, alone in the middle of the city.

The game’s files carry no label for these kinds; they are told apart by how each stage is built (see raid-datamine’s CURSED_CITY.md).

Team conditions

Cursed City does not let you bring any team. Every stage carries 5 possible team conditions, numbered I to V, such as “bring at least one champion from these factions”. The game uses one of them for the whole rotation, the same numeral on every stage.

This rotation it is condition III, until 26 November 2026 at 14:15 UTC. Then it changes to condition IV. They take turns in order, one a rotation, and come round again after V.

• IIIThis rotation, until 26 November 2026
• IVFrom 26 November 2026
• VFrom 26 December 2026
• IFrom 25 January 2027
• IIFrom 24 February 2027

The requirement itself differs from stage to stage, so each stage page lists all 5 with the one in force highlighted. Where a condition lists several factions or affinities, a champion needs only one of them.

Barriers and Eclipse Keys

To fight Amius you must collect 3 Eclipse Keys. The game says they come from beating Double Boss stages in Cobblemarket, Deadrise and Plagueholme.

The files also mark 9 of those Double Boss stages on each difficulty as barriers (the Double Bosses of Soulcross are not marked). Barriers are the stages that guard Amius, and they open and close with the rotation.

Rewards

A stage pays its reward once a rotation, the first time you clear it; there is nothing to repeat for. The reward is on each stage’s page. Cursed Remnants come from quests as you clear more of the city, and buy a chest with 4 rolls:

Quest	Normal	Hard
Clear 25 stages	5	5
Clear 50 stages	5	5
Clear 101 stages	40	40
Clear 6 Awakened stages	10	10
Clear 12 Awakened stages	15	15
Defeat Amius	25	25
Remnant chest (4 rolls)	100 to buy	100 to buy
