Confused about how to increase corruption

so it seems like it is impossivle to get everytimeline to X number?

all these streamers and others who showcase 1000+ corruption, are they

FOCUSING ON 1 timeline only?

otherwide HTH are people getting 1000+ corruption on every timeline?

Just watch this:

With 1.2 there are two new ways to keep other timelines on par with your highest timeline.
So generally you want to focus on pushing one timeline and then you need to do 1 or 2 Shades in the other timelines to get on the same level.

When you start a new timelien fresh or reset it and ahve a other timeline higher there will always spawn a shade at the very start, after completign the first echo that will give you ~90% of your highest corruption timeline.

Alternatively you can play a Confluence fo Oblivion Woven Echo to raise the timeline ot the highest corrptuion you have in any timeline.

ummm ok

still not clear

how to i access the 3rd harbinger? ive have 6 echos to 118, and only seen 2 harbingers

alternatively confluence of oblivion is non exixstant for me.

in fact ive been at gain

22,222 woven influence for 3 days and havent gain 1 influence,.

also-- how do i get to 125 corruption? ive done the 118 corrutin over aqnd over and not increasing-- makes no sense

Have you selected the bottom left node in your Weaver Tree that prevents the Shade from increasing you corruption?

i havent manually clicked anything
and im hard stuck at 20/50 weaver tree becsue I HAVENT GAINED WEAVER INFLUENCE IN # FKN DAYS

It seems to be a extremely rare drop randomly, but if you spec the “Reflections of Orobyss” Node in the Weaver Tree, you can get it very easily.

But to be honest with how the regular guaranteed Shade works that brings you up to ~90% corruption you really don’t need this Woven Echo anyway unless you are playing a alt.

To increase corruption, you have to kill the Shade of Orobyss.

To gain more points in the weaver tree, you have to complete the Woven Maps.

ive killed the shades in every echo and im at 118.

do i have to keep killilng hte same shadeover and over and over int eh same echo to increase the corruption?

if so that a chore

are you telling me thats whatthe streames do? they reacj 1000 corruption in less that a day-- it takes about an 20 min to get a timeline to spawn a shade node

You probably have killed only one Shade yet, since you’re still at 118.
When you kill one of them, the entire echo web is reset and the corruption increases. Did that happen multiple times to you?

And if you indeed killed Shades and had your web reset multiple times, then you probably have the node Travoas asked you about.

About the streamers, this is how they manage to get 1000c in all monos.

sigh ok ill go look at these again, ty

To increase corruption you need to kill the shade.

There’s 2 ways to make the shade increase corruption. The first - and weakest - is to go as far away from the starting point as possible, this way the shade will increase corruption by up to… 10-12 or so I think? Not much and not worth it.

The other way is to kill the timeline boss, using runes of envy on random worthless items to increase stability so you can repeatedly kill it, or doing echos until the stability is high enough. That provides so called ‘Gaze of Orobyss’ which causes your shades to vastly increase your corruption in comparison. I for example currently have 6 gazes, they increase corruption by 52, as an example.

Also it’s better to increase a single timeline first as far as you comfortably can, every other timeline gets a bonus towards reaching the highest amount of corruption you have in any timeline.

That’s the gist of it.

thank you

OK this is what ive doine and its not working

timeline is at 118
i crafted items to make timeline stabiity to 1600

ruinsof solarium open s up again, but when i mouse over it it doenst increase corruption at all.

also-- it shows ZERO gaze of orybos attached to it

just did it again with 2 orobos orbs and NO CORRUPTION INCREASE FOLLING YOUR METHOD VERBATIM

ok so perhaps you need to clarify what you are saying.

i will ad lib what perhaps youa re trying to say

  1. YOU HAVE TO BRANCH out to activate a shade node, which you arent stating.

  2. as you stated to quickly stabilize the timeline via crafting.
    2a. this doenst open up shade nodes, only access to timeline boss IE Raylie of the Sun

  3. Killing the time line BOSS DOES NOT AWARD CORRUPTION AT ALL, ONLY THE SHADE NODE DOES.

  4. so im now guessing what you have to do is get kill the timeline boss repeatedly until you have multiple orybos orbs next to the timeline boss in the upper left.

4a. THEN

YOU HAVE REOPEN ENOUGH NODES TO REVEAL THE SHADE NODE< THEN KILL THE SHADE AGAIN?

this isnt how you worded it.

by reading what you posted i used 16 glyphs (had 26, now i have 10 with nothing to show) to repeated spawn the Raylie of the Sun and kill it to yield ZERO corruption.

the devs are very unclear
the answers so farhere seemed clear, but they werent.

So is my assumption correct now? as to how to get corruption?

or am i still wrong

I did, in the first sentence.

The shade. That’s the boss you fight there. You’ve already fought him so I imagined you knew who that is.

And yes, you need to kill the shade. either by being far away from the start point or by acquiring gazes. To clear it up completely I hope.
