Rift Incursions

Rift Incursions are portals to the Shadow Realm opened through dark rituals involving blood crystals. In these world events you will face off against Dracula's Legion of Noctum - hordes of draculin vampires & monsters. 2 smaller blood crystals will be connected to the main blood crystal in the centre, indicating their location. Destroy the blood crystals by defeating enemies to end the ritual.

At the end of an incursion, a (brutal difficulty) imitation of a V Blood Carrier will be summoned, known as Lesser and Primal Blood Souls. (Tier 1 and Tier 2 respectively)
Defeating and feeding on the blood soul will destroy the blood crystal and end the Rift Incursion.

Rift Incursions come in 2 tiers. The game recommends you must be at least level 57 for Tier 1, and 83 for Tier 2 incursions. With more elite Draculin being summoned in Tier 2.
The Eye of Mortium allows the player to track when Rift Incursion events will be active in Ruins of Mortium.
