Chapter 22 Guide

Chapter 22 Guide

Chapter 22 is a 24-man Public Quest that is built as a raid for 24 Players.

These Public Quests were updated and re-launched in August 2024 with new mechanics.

At the time of writing this page, Chapter 22 now features the most mechanic-heavy fights in Return of Reckoning.

For a guide on the basic mechanics of each Chapter 22 PQ, please see below.

Public Quest Stages

Each Chapter 22 Public Quest features either four or five stages.

The first stages of each Chapter 22 PQ are generally straightforward, with the final bosses each featuring unique mechanics and enrage timers that require efficient teamwork to complete.

It may be possible to bypass or ignore some mechanics, but most are specifically designed in ways that give each member of the warband (and each class) very clear roles.

Chapter 22 Rewards

After successfully completing any Chapter 22 PQ, your warband will roll on bags that grant top-tier rewards, like Onslaught Gear and boxes of random best-in-slot Talismans.

Chapter 22 is the only place to acquire Onslaught Gear, a special PvE set that grants the Vanquisher Ward. (As part of the 2024 Re-work, Onslaught Gear was upgraded to Vanquisher Ward, given new pieces and set bonuses, and had its Renown requirement removed.)

Additionally, new Cosmetic Capes were added to Onslaught, each with unique looks that may be a draw for many Fashionhammer aficionados.

The Chest, Helmet, and Shoulders Onslaught pieces drop excusively from Gold Bags.

It is possible for players who do not need these to Opt Out of the PQ Gold Bags specifically to help players who need these get their gear; make sure to remind your warband as you enter the final stage to do this, just to be safe.
