Gloom Tear
Gloom Tear is an Event that occurs in the Highlands. A small tear leading to the The Void has begun to manifest, and the source of the tear must eliminated.
Overview[edit]
Certain locations will have a small Gloom tear beginning to form. Approaching the tear and cutting it with the Gloom Dagger will cause it to widen, spawning Gloom reinforcements.
Opening the Tear[edit]
The tear will summon three waves of Gloom enemies to defend itself, with each wave having a time limit of one and half minute:
- Wave 1:
Tidings, 
Husks, 
Heralds - Wave 2:
Wretches, 
Foul Wretches, Heralds, 
Seers, 
Oracles - Wave 3: Foul Wretches, Heralds, Oracles
During the third wave, six small 
Prophecies will circle the outer edge of the area. Defeating these before finishing the wave will alter the event into it's Heroic variant, with the message, "The Heart Ripper awakens", appearing.
Eliminating the Source[edit]
After clearing the third wave, the Gloom tear will open and allow entry into a pocket of pure Gloom. Players must traverse platforms to reach the 
Ninth Herald. Defeating the Prophecies and enabling the Heroic variant will summon the 
Heart Ripper instead of the Ninth Herald. In either case, players will have eight minutes to defeat the source of the tear.
Rewards[edit]
The following will always be rewarded:
20Cragged Spectra or 
20Verdant Spectra
In addition, a ramp leading to two Gloom Chests and multiple Memory Fragments will appear. Completing the Heroic variant will create a second ramp leading to two additional Gloom chests and additional memory fragments.
