What Is The Locked Diary: How To Use

Key Item Needed To Enter The Dark Aethal Rift

The Locked Diary is a key item that you place on top of a Rift Pedestal with a Cryo Freeze Mark on it. The Locked Diary is sealed with an Icy Mist, which indicates the pedestal that matches it is the one marked with a Cryo.

Gather 4 Key Items To Spawn A Mega Abomination

There are also 3 other keys, making 4 in total. By placing all 4 keys on the correct pedestal you summon a Mega Abomination, an enemy that drops a Sigil which is used to open The Dark Aethel Rift.

With Just The Locked Diary, The Mega Abomination Won't Spawn

There are a total of 4 keys, and you will need to have all 4 for it to work. The Locked Diary by itself will not summon the Mega Abomination.

Do NOT Place The Locked Diary Until You Have All 4

To summon the Mawloom, you will need 4 Keys that match each of the markings on the Pedestals. Once you place the Locked Diary on the Pedestal, you will not be able to pick it back up and it will disappear in the next match. Due to this, do not place the key item on the pedestal until you have all 4 Keys.
