Sintranos the Cursed City: Rotation 1 – NORMAL MODE
The Cursed City of Sintranos went live today, and as such we’ve broken down all of the individual stage requirements that you’ll need to conquer to fully clear Cursed City: Rotation 1 – Normal Mode, of course – you may pick your path and clearing 100% of it is not required to unlock the final boss, Amius – but in terms of rewards, you will want to aim to complete as much of this content as possible every single month.
This guide is relevant only to Cursed City: Rotation 1 – Normal Mode; starting December 12th, and lasting till January 10th 2024.
You can find full in-depth breakdowns of each stage and the rewards in our Raid Stages Tool.

Which of these stages in Cursed City: Rotation 1 do you think will pose the biggest threats?
It is actually fun to explore the levels in Sintranos. Those requirements make it more challenging too. You now might need different champions than normal.
I tried to add a bit of a challenge, to do each stage with as less as possible champions. That might be helpful for others too.
Wrote my progress so far down in a blog post.
But it’s on hard mode though. But I will do the same on normal.
This will only be fun for the elites with 2+ years experience, and hell for anyone else. The Plagueholme layout is a perfect case in point. To get to the key there are four pathways:
I have seventy level-60s and have zero hope of finishing any Soulcross levels, period, to enter from the back door to the north.
You face Sorath and your only burner is a level-40 Mordecai, and even in all-perception gear and 263 ACC he is lucky to freeze Sorath 20% of the time. Hell, Serris with ACC > 550 can’t reliably toss Decrease Defense on it. Stages tool says we need 230 ACC to touch it reliably? Bullshit, double that doesn’t even generate confidence, and you have a VERY slight window of opportunity to stop the torture in your favor with a timely HP Burn.
You get basically no turn meter control against Dark Fae, and she always picks Ronda to clone after you kill the initial 5 clones, and you can’t kill her new clone before she wipes you because you always screw up enough True Fear rolls. You hope Hellmut with 350+ ACC and 105% CritRate can stun the others, but no, his Timeslip 2nd part doesn’t even proc 20% of the time. This Dark Fae battle always was bullshit, and that is exemplified nowhere better than right here and right now.
Then there’s the Awakening-10 battle, and we can only muster 9 stars of Awakening, despite having blessings on almost all my Legos and most of my Epics.
The whales, content creators, and the elites will lay waste to this place. The rest of us will be roadblocked.
I do not agree with you here. True that I started bragging about soloing stages in Cobblemarket and true that I got stuck both in Plagueholme too. I did not take Sorath too, but I will when Mordecai has more ACC. Same in Deadrise where I can’t get past Scarab King and Stage D7.
About Dark Fae, that took some thinking. She is slow. I used Archmage, Seer, Stag Knight, Ursala and Grohak. And no where near 350ACC. Just time your buffs and attacks.
But that is the fun of it. That you have to think and rebuild to go trough. How else is it a challenge?
Say you are relatively new and you can manage to do Cobblemarket. Even then the rewards are quite good.
I have not reached Animus yet, but seen a battle from Nubraids. I do have the champions except Krisk. We’ll see.
And I do not know what. level you are or the champs you have, but I am at level 89, so no where considered anywhere near CCreators, elites and whales (at least I think).
Strange, I responded on this one here, but my comment is gone. Please let me know if I said something wrongful.
It was about that I like the new content very much and that you are right where saying it is difficult. But that is the fun and challenge of it if you ask me.
I do not know which level you are, I am 89 but I am not near CC, elites level I think.
Sorath is doable with Mordecai, with some ACC of course. Dark Fae is doable too, without stats you mention. Try using Seer and time her A3.
For now I am blocked too at several points. And I need to rebuild and change. But again, that is the fun of it.
Sorry Lord Banshee, but if you are saying that yu have 20 x lvl 60 champs and you cannot do anything in cursed city… I have to strongly think that you are having a problem with the game.
I am lvl 91, no elite, I am still struggling to finish faction wars!!
I have 40 x lvl 60 champs and I find cursed city (normal and hard mode) highly entertaining.
What do you want exactly from new content? Do you want to finish everything at the first day of release in Auto-mode?
Dammit, I meant “you have 70 x lvl 60 champs”.
First encounter with Animus, change phase with Gnishak bombs on. He performs 5-6 attacks and kills the entire team.. ok
