The final two encounters in the Sanctum of Domination raid drop weapons with unique special effects, such as Rae'shalare, Death's Whisper and the recently showcased Cruciform Veinripper, and today we're highlighting Jaithys, the Prison Blade, a curious two-handed sword which consumes other items to empower itself.

Players have found out that Ventunax has had an undocumented nerf in Spires of Ascension in Patch 9.1, making this encounter much much easier for all players!

In Patch 9,1, players can deplete their M+ Keystones by speaking to Ta'hsup in Oribos. This can repeatedly be done to deplete the keystone multiple times.
