Summary
The Scorched Desert Lair is located on the top left corner of the map.
Players should arrive at the Summits anima well. The lair missions can be found near a sacrificed villager (542, 1074).
By completing all the missions in this lair with your team, you will get your hands on Essences to enable you to spawn bosses. As explained in our Introduction to Lairs - spawning and successfully killing these bosses is how you get your hands on loot!
Notes for this area:
As with all lairs, remember you are working in a team. Wait for your team mates if they die, always remember to run back if you die in Anima Form, communicate if you are missing something in order to complete a mission and most importantly - have fun together!
The lair is a large, open area. It is fairly easy to avoid getting killed when doing the lair missions. Make sure to pay attention to the raid chat, in case the tank wants to pull a large amount of enemies and bring them to the group.

Missions
As in all lairs, there are 3 missions for you to complete. Ensure you pick all 3 missions up at the start of the lair so that your mission status progresses as you work through the lair with your team. You can finish the missions as the raid makes its way toward the temple with the giant brazier and the summoning location.
Mission 1: Return of the Red Nights
The temple was built before Akhenaten's decent into utter madness. Its altars were meant for genuine sun worship, not mindless sacrifice. However, the resurgent cultists make no distinction between the two. There is no one they won't kill, and nothing they won't unleash.
Tier 1 of 1:
- Kill 2 Chosen Cultists
- Kill 4 Red Desert Locusts
- Kill 40 Frenzied Throngs
- Kill 40 Red Desert Swarms
Mission 2: Up in Smoke
This is a defense mission. Once the brazier has been lit, enemies will attack the raid from different sides. You must stay alive and kill the enemies in order to complete the mission.
The giant brazier is a symbol of hope in the desert. Light the great fire and burn the torturous legacy of the Atenist uprising.
Tier 1 of 1:
- Light the Giant Brazier
Mission 3: Blood Garments
The raiments can be found strewn across the lair area. The raid must pick up the raiments to complete the mission.
The Atenists have been sacrificing in the name of their god. The innocent are bound in ancient raiments - oily garments are stitched into skin to ensure that burning bodies can never squirm away. Evidence of these deeds litters the area.
Tier 1 of 1:
- Gather 15 Sacrificial Raiments
Summoning lair bosses:
Once missions are complete and handed in, you will have three summoning essences in your inventory. The lair raid should head to the summoning area, which is on the roof of the ancient temple. See above map for summoning location. Read more about the lair bosses in the links below:
