A dungeon for a crew of up to five, through a door in a glade south of the town: three wings and three bosses, on a clock. Beat the clock and the key that started the run climbs, as in the Wreck and the Orchard. Opens at level 10.
At dawn every light in the Orchard drifts downhill into the Gloamhollow, where the Lampwright keeps them through the day.
This dusk they did not come back up. The Weaver has strung her web across the Hollow's mouth, and below it someone has decided to keep the lights for good.
A lamp-lit path from the street by the Bank leads into the woods south of the town, to a glade and the Gloamhollow's door.
Press G at the door (or right-click it) to gather a crew. It wants level 10. A crew runs the Gloamhollow when the key that starts the run points here (your key).
Kill all 3 bosses and reach 250 enemy forces; the forces and the bosses can come in either order. The map holds 359, the main path 214, so 36 more come from the side areas (the Silk Nursery 27, the Stag Run 56, the Mire patrol 22, the Hollow Bend 11 and the Mushroom Ring 29). Only the packs on the map count, not a boss's adds, and a wisp that flared adds nothing.
Fall and you rise at the last lit checkpoint (the entrance, the Loom's far door and the Moonpool's north door): each lights when the boss before it dies. The clock never stops.
A boss's doors seal 7 s after the pull, until it falls: be inside by then. If nobody in its room is left standing, it returns to its post, healed, and the doors open.
Timed, your key climbs +1 in par (36:00), +2 under 28:48 and +3 under 21:36, then draws its next dungeon at random (maybe the Gloamhollow again). Over par it drops one and draws again. A wipe does not end a run here: the crew rises at the last lit checkpoint. If everyone leaves, or the run is still going after an hour, the key drops one and stays in the Gloamhollow. If every line in the run dropped (an outage), the key is kept as it was only if nobody had left the run by choice or been removed from the crew and it was still within par; otherwise it drops one and stays in the Gloamhollow. A server restart keeps it as it was.
The key of the character that starts the run moves: how a run moves a key. Each boss has a hard enrage: The Gilded Weaver 5:00, The Duskwing 5:00, Vesperine 6:00. From key 12 every death adds 15 s to the clock.
Enemies get tougher every key: their health grows 8% a key to key 5, 10% to key 10, 20% to key 15, 3% to key 20, 20% to key 22 and 45% from key 23, and their damage 10% a key to key 5, 11% to key 10 and 3% from key 11.
Each kind of blow also has its own dial. A move that shows on the ground first hits 2.4 times as hard at keys 1 to 3, 25% more at key 4, 6% more a key to key 10 and 17% more a key from key 11. A plain swing hits 1.8 times as hard at key 1, 11% more a key to key 10 and 4.9% more a key from key 11. A move that takes a share of your health takes the same share at keys 1 to 10 and 16% more a key from key 11. The Fang Strike, which its target cannot step out of, hits as the harder of a ground move and a plain swing, the ground move's dial stopped at key 10. Blows here land 20% harder than in the Wreck and the Orchard, at every key; a share of your health is the same.
New twists join at keys 4, 7, 10, 12 and 15, and enemies learn new moves along the way.
The week's twists join here too, by the key. When Powder Kegs is the week's twist, the giant caps by the packs are cover from its blast too.
The Mire's lamps are dark, and the Gloam on the ground wears you down. Light all four and the Lamp Path opens: every walk back is shorter. The Duskwing and Vesperine put lamps out; their wisps light them again.
In the Gloam you gain a stack every 4 s, up to 5, each costing 0.4% of your health a second. Lamplight (12 m round a lit lamp) clears them all. A wisp killed within 6 m of a dark lamp lights it.
In the Lamp Hall the braziers are the lamps. A lit brazier's light reaches 12 m. When one goes out, the ground within 12 m of it turns to Gloam, a stack there costing 0.8% of your health a second. At Last Light the dark spreads from every dark brazier, 1.5 m a second, out to 24 m: only a lit brazier's light holds it back.
The Hollow's mouth: a steep glade under great blue trees, gold silk strung between them, and the Golden Loom at its end.
6 packs on the path, 59 forces · the Silk Nursery: 27 · Boss: The Gilded Weaver, in the Golden Loom

Numbers on this page are at key 1: damage, health and the share-of-health figures grow with the key (the key ladder).
Small, quick, never alone; their dust slows you. Fight them together.
1 force · Health at key 1: 728.
Lobs Hush from afar: a cloud that slows, lingers and stings. Kill it first; stay out of the fog.

The tank's. Its Gore hits in front; step out of its Stomp's ring or be thrown.
6 forces · Health at key 1: 4,420.

1 force · Health at key 1: 624.
While it stands, packmates close by take half damage (thorn tethers show who). Kill it first, or pull it alone.
10 forces · Health at key 1: 6,760.

4 forces · Health at key 1: 2,340.
A golden orb-weaver the size of a cart. She has three moods, and she lets you know when she changes.
Keep her facing away from the crew. While she is in the trees, gather the spiderlings; when she drops, turn her round before she wakes.
Heal the webbed and the poisoned first; her drop takes a big bite of whoever it catches. Stay out of the Web Spray yourself.

A great moth over the Moonpool, grey-violet with a pale skull across its back and six metres of wing. Light draws it, and where it settles the light goes out under its wings.
Hold its Wingbuffet away from the crew. Keep the crew spread over the lit lamps: Smother and Dive pick the busiest.
Outside lamplight the Gloam wears everyone down, and a Dive takes a big bite. Stay in the light yourself.
Kill the wisps by a dark lamp to light it again. Save your burst for the Smother, when it takes more damage.

She lit the Orchard's lamps for years, taught Moth everything he knows, then went down into the Hollow to keep its lights. She is tired of watching the wood burn them out, and she means to keep every one.
Keep her back to the crew. At the Gathering, take both wardens and drag them apart.
A Kindle hurts less on a carrier alone: call it out. In Last Light, spend everything you have.
Wisps first, then the wardens, then her. Last Light is a race against the pulses.

When: At 60% health · Effect: She is out of reach for 12 s, two Thornwardens (while two stand within 8 m of each other they take 50% less damage)
Wisps go for whoever is farthest from her. Kill them before they flare; one killed by a dark brazier lights it.
When: From phase 2, every 20 s · Effect: 2 Lanternwisps
The dark spreads from every dead brazier; only a lit one holds it back. Pulses hit the whole crew, harder each time, and Kindles come faster: a race.
When: At 30% health, every 3 s · Effect: 2% of everyone's health a pulse, 1% more each time, while the dark spreads from every dark brazier, 1.5 m a second, out to 24 m

The three dungeons share one table, split by slot: the Gloamhollow drops weapons and trinkets, the Wreck off-hands and heads and the Overgrown Orchard bodies and backs. A piece drops where its slot does, whichever dungeon it was made for.
16 at key 1, rising 3 a key to 58 at key 15, and stopping there. That is 3 above the other dungeons. Wearing a piece needs level 10.
From key 10, every slot comes in two versions for each class, each with its own stat order; a piece is one of its owner's two, at even odds.
From key 10, every run you finish in any of the three dungeons gives you a 0.1% chance at your own class's legendary: its weapon or its trinket, at even odds, item level 60.
Each person's own: Black Pearls on a timed run (1.5, 1.5 more under 80% of par, 1.5 more under 60%; a half pearl is a coin flip; none for a run 4 or more levels below your best there), and the week's sure piece for your first timed clear of the week at your best level there or higher, one a week in any dungeon. Mastery pays as in the Wreck, ×3 on that clear.
The crew's pieces by the run's result and the crew's size. A smaller crew gets the same share a person, rounded up. Everyone gets the same whole number of pieces and the rest go to different people at random; each piece is made for its owner's class, and people who left get none.
| The run | a crew of 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| timed +1 (within par, 36:00) | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| timed +2 (under 28:48) | 4 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| timed +3 (under 21:36) | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
| over par | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| not finished (a wipe ends a run in the Wreck and the Orchard; here a run ends when everyone has left or an hour has passed) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Above key 15, each level adds a piece to a timed run's loot:
| a crew of 5, timed | +1 | +2 | +3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| key 15 and below | 3 | 4 | 6 |
| key 16 | 4 | 5 | 7 |
| key 17 | 5 | 6 | 8 |
| key 18 | 6 | 7 | 9 |
| key 19 | 7 | 8 | 10 |
| key 20 | 8 | 9 | 11 |
Keys 1 to 9
Keys 1 to 9
Each class's two versions of each slot, by their owner's class:
From key 10 the trinkets here are the Gloamhollow's own 12, always epic, two for each class: one works by itself, the other is a power you use from a button of its own (T by default).

Every finished run counts toward your rating. The in-game dungeon journal (J) lists every dungeon's bosses, abilities and loot.
