- Corrupted Ground: Certain areas are covered in a dark, pulsating substance that slows movement and deals minor damage. Tread carefully or find alternative paths.
- Illusory Walls and Traps: The Void Lord's influence can create deceptive pathways and hidden traps. Always be cautious of suspicious-looking walls or floor sections. Using abilities that reveal hidden objects can be beneficial.
