The Dreamrift in the Adventure Guide

Raid - Midnight

The Dreamrift

1 encounter, 26 boss abilities and 18 drops, with the Adventure Guide’s own ability and strategy notes for each fight. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.

The Dreamrift exists deep within the Rift of Aln, where the dreams of Aln'hara took form long ago. Dark manifestations have grown within the rift in Aln'hara's absence, devouring each other in an endless cycle. Even the brave haranir dare not delve too deep, for now something greater and more terrible lurks within the Dreamrift's depths.

Chimaerus the Undreamt God

When Aln'hara was taken from her Cradle, only pain and madness were left to shape the chaos of the rift. Chimaerus feasted on the void left behind, gorging itself on other nightmarish manifestations. Now it stands as the monster within the rift: a being of agony and rage.
