The Dark Rift is a new PVE experience for players who have completed the prerequisite quests. This quest is the “[Awakening Complete] Memories of the Past” quest, which is available once you have completed the awakening for your class.
Monsters will randomly appear in certain areas and can be defeated for various rewards. You will get a notification from your Black Spirit once a Dark Rift monster has spawned. This is shown in the bottom right corner of your screen.
Dark Rift monsters can only be seen and defeated by you. Your party members and any other players cannot see the monster. They have various levels of difficulty but you do not get death penalties when you die to them.
You can click the button next to the monsters name to get the location on your map.
The monsters do not disapear randomly and will not go away until you have defeated them. You will also not get another Dark Rift monster until you have defeated the current one. These monsters also cannot be attacked during a Conquest/Node War, so you will need to move to a different server to engage in combat with them during this time.
Rewards
Once you have defeated a monster from the Dark Rift, you can collect the rewards. You can earn various rewards, such as blackstones and memory fragments. Depending on the difficulty of the monster, you may earn a special loot box called the Box of the Silent/Distorted/Desperate Dead. Below shows what these boxes can contain (click to enlarge image)
