Bristle Woods Rift Maps and Changes

5 July 2017

The Bristle Woods Rift has morphed and changed!

Bristle Woods Rift Updates

The ever-shifting chambers within the Bristle Woods Rift have twisted and turned, revealing new secrets within the Rift Acolyte Tower!

Explore the Bristle Woods Rift with friends by taking on one of two new treasure maps, locate two new rare chambers, and take on the updated Frozen Alcove to discover hidden loot.

New Treasure Maps
Available from the Bristle Woods Rift Cartographer are two new Treasure Map Scroll Cases. The Rift Stalker Scroll Case contains a map with 30 mice spanning the Furoma and Bristle Woods Rift. The Bristle Woods Rift Scroll Case contains a map with 15 mice within only the Bristle Woods Rift.

New Rare Chambers
The Lucky Tower and Hidden Treasury can be found on rare occasion while exploring the Rift Acolyte Tower. These chambers have a massive stockpile of loot including Quantum Quartz, Rift Luck Charms, and Rift Wealth Charms.

Frozen Alcove and Absolute Acolyte Loot
The shifting of the Rift Acolyte Tower has caused a change within the Frozen Alcove. There is now 35 loot to be found within the Frozen Alcove, meaning hunters will be able to loot the chamber more quickly.

The enchantment within the Frozen Alcove has also changed to not only protect against the Absolute Acolyte but also weaken its icy grip. If you've completed the Frozen Alcove, the Absolute Acolyte will drop bonus loot in addition to the Rift Mysterious Box. The nature and value of these items can vary wildly, including anything from lowly Rift Curd to the extremely valuable Timesplit Rune, Clockwork Cogs, Ultimate Charms, and more! The power of the Quantum Pocketwatch is able to reach these items, meaning you'll get additional loot if the Acolyte Drops a rift item and you are using Quantum Quartz!

However, this beneficial discovery for hunters has also come at a price. The discovery of the Absolute Acolyte's weakness has enraged the villain, causing it to steal Time Sand from hunters! However, fear not! Your Acolyte Influence spell will protect you from this dastardly new ability of the Absolute Acolyte Mouse.

Bristle Woods Rift Journal Theme
Amongst all the updates, a new reward has been discovered! The collectible Bristle Woods Rift Journal Theme consists of three scraps hidden within the Rift Acolyte Tower. It's a safe bet that the Absolute Acolyte is carefully protecting one with its icy paws, but, where could the other two be?

Curse Removal Chambers
Finally, the shifting of the tower has revealed a few new paths to finding some chambers. Hunters within the Bristle Woods Rift should find that the Security Chamber, Pursuer Mousoleum, and Furnace Room are slightly easier to find. Additionally, the Acolyte Chamber itself will now appear with a little more regularity. Hunters should notice the Acolyte Chamber appearing a little more often when they have lower quantities of Time Sand.
