  2. Get 300 mastery on each sword
  3. Go to Land of the Gods (Third Sea spawn) and interact with the Rock Shrine to unlock 3SS

2. Race V2 Quest

Zenith is the final task in the Race V2 quest chain:

  1. Go to the starter island in C2
  2. Find the NPC in the same building as the spawn point
  3. Complete three quests:
    • Quest 1: Defeat a Sea Beast (50k–100k+ bounty increases spawn rate)
    • Quest 2: Collect 50 chests (~15 minutes)
    • Quest 3: Defeat Zenith
  4. Pay 1,000,000 Beli + 100 Gems to unlock your Race V2
  5. This quest can be repeated for any other race to unlock their V2 variant

Each race gets unique V2 bonuses (Trello-confirmed):

  • Dragonborne: +10% Health + Glide Ability (hold space to fall 2x slower)
  • Demon: 3% Life Steal + 10% chance for Hellfire circle on dash
  • Skyborne: Glide Ability + first Skywalk is 2x powerful

Tips

  • Zenith is an easy kill at end-game levels — don’t stress about the fight
  • Time your run around the 2h 35m storm cycle to avoid waiting
  • Get Zenith before attempting 3SS — the 100% drop rate makes it the easiest of the three swords
  • If you’re doing Race V2, complete the Sea Beast and chest quests first, then head to Shadow Island for Zenith
