🔑 How to unlock Navalea
Requires the Sands of Ulminin DLC, then an in-game quest.
- Take the Yellow Portal to The Ulminin Desert from Act 1 or Act 2.
- (Recommended) At the Tent, the "Information Brokers" event: [Pay] 300g for information about the sealed tomb in the north. This gives a guaranteed option at the Tomb instead of a skill check — failing that check locks you out of the quest for the run.
- Go to the Tomb node at the top of the map and [Enter] / [Open] it.
- Reach the Burial Chamber and [Accept] Navalea's request, starting "Searching for the source".
- Take the north path to the Mural and [Continue] to pick up Navalea's badge (the quest becomes "Lifting the curse"), then finish the act.
- At the end of Act 3: if you take the white portal to The Void, go to the Upper Void → north path → Cathedral and [Continue] to purify the badge. If you take the black portal to The Dusk Lands, go to the Archive and [Continue].
- Either route completes the quest and unlocks Navalea for all future runs.
