Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium

Rosa 2 has a rollercoaster growth curve. She's not particularly strong early on, and once you build up enough mana, her damage explodes. However, managing her early on is a challenge.

If you're trying to build up mana in the early game, you'll find that your progress is slow, which suggests this isn't the best path for her. Use Lightning Spike and Earthquake as your primary abilities in the early game.

Pet Recommendations

Captain Kitty of the Furious Sea and Red Umbrella are recommended pets. If you have the latest pet, Red Umbrella can be substituted. Backup Power is also a good option, but requires additional paralysis.

Rosa 2 Traits

Rosa 2 is a class that focuses on mana as a core damage booster, with two forms: Mystic Mercury and Realm of Mercury.

• Mystic Mercury: When using non-channeled attack skills, attempt to consume 10% of your unsealed maximum mana. If successful, gain 10 Mercury. If mana is insufficient, consume 1% of your unsealed maximum mana to gain 5 Mercury.
• Realm of Mercury: For every 10% of your unsealed maximum mana, gain +2% attack speed and +4% elemental damage. When using non-channeled attack skills, restore 20% of your unsealed maximum mana. There is a special requirement: mana can only be consumed through Mystic Mercury, and mana can only be restored through Realm of Mercury.

Trait Selection

Boundless Sanctuary and Born to Cleanse are limited options, with Cleanse Filth and Utmost Devotion becoming options later on.

In the early stages, you need to simply acquire damage boosts through Boundless Sanctuary and Born to Cleanse at levels 60 and 75. Because mana and gear are difficult to accumulate early on, it's virtually impossible to meet the minimum damage requirement of over 10,000 mana.

At level 60, Boundless Sanctuary provides 35% bonus elemental damage, 25% bonus damage, and 37% bonus weapon damage. Adding Baptism of Purity (approximately 25%, not counting elemental damage) and the base damage boost, and you'll get a 20-30% bonus damage boost, for a total of approximately 3.7x damage (not counting bonus damage from mana and mana consumption), which is generally above average for all classes. (Most classes fluctuate around 3x.)

As for the upper limit in the later stages, you can obtain Cleanse Filth and Utmost Devotion, which grant a 25% damage reduction mana, and increase your damage by over 4x. It might not seem like much, but the main benefit is the level 75 trait, which grants you other ways to spend mana. Maintaining a constant Mithril bar allows you to maintain your Realm of Mercury state (which grants a significant amount of mana recovery). Spending mana also grants you damage bonuses to other mana-consuming abilities.

Skill Selection

Recommended Skills: Thunder Spike and Groundshaker

Rosa 2's initial skill, Frost Spike, isn't very powerful early on; you need to trigger Frostbite before its projectile damage increases. Consider switching to Groundshaker and focusing on Steep Strike.

Talents

God of Knowledge has no attack speed, and the medium talents aren't very good. If you're looking for increased attack damage, consider starting with God of Might or Goddess of Hunting.

• Goddess of Hunting (Perception and Rushed)
• Assassin (Conductive)
• Bladerunner (Waiting Attack)
• Ronin (Endless Fervor)
• Lich (Off the Beaten Track)

Gear

The following equipment recommendations are primarily Legendary items, but you can also craft your own using materials, saving some Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium.

Weapons

• Oathkeeper (usable up to Timemark 8)
• Farewell Desire (usable but nerfed in SS9)

You can craft weapons from level 86-99 early on, using a claw or dagger as your base to gain the damage bonuses for each weapon.

Affix Requirements:

Prefix: Physical + Physical Damage of the Item + Lightning Damage/Melee Damage/Dexterity

Suffix: Attack Speed + Elemental Damage + Combo Chance (If the prefix includes Dexterity, choose Physical Damage as the suffix)

Helmet

• Scarlet Decree (for transitional use only)
• Opening Heart

Affix Requirements

• Prefix: Shield + Shield + Dexterity
• Suffix: Critical Hit/Critical Damage/Shield/Resistance

Chest

• Undying Faith
• Corrupted Bulwark (Shield nerfed in SS9)

Gloves

• Ralph's Laws
• Thunder Manipulator

Shoes

• Grace Boots

You can create your own boots using a base item. The required affixes are as follows:

• Prefix: Skill Level + Double Shield
• Suffix: Resistance/Move Speed/Critical Hit

Necklace

• Despised Shadow
• Vortex Heart
• Ocean of Rock
• Mourner's Shadow

Ring

Can be crafted. Required affixes are as follows:

• Prefixes: Shield, Dexterity, Ignite

• Memory of Discipline: Base Attribute - Shield, Inherent Affixes (Critical Hit/Critical Damage, and Attack Speed)
• Memory of Progress: Base Attribute - Attack Speed, Inherent Affixes (Critical Hit/Critical Damage, and Attack Speed)

The above are the skills and weapons needed for Rosa 2. This build is sufficient until Timemark 8. After Timemark 8, you can focus on stacking mana to over 10,000, significantly increasing your damage. Overall, Rosa 2 isn't top-tier in SS9, roughly Tier B, and Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium required to cultivate her is significantly higher than a Tier S build.

Today, we'd like to take a look at Netherrealm endgame in Torchlight Infinite SS9. Netherrealm is the endgame content unlocked after completing the main storyline. Here, players can explore challenging dungeons, defeat bosses, and collect FE to upgrade their characters.

Netherrealm endgame features multiple planes, each with unique levels and challenges, and introduces mechanics like Spacetime Turbulence mode and Resonance, allowing players to further customize their gaming experience.

So, here, we'll introduce Netherrealm exploration path in Torchlight Infinite and provide some practical tips to make your endgame progress all the way to Timemark 7 easier. Without further ado, let's get started.

Timemark Level Advancement

Once you complete Chapter 3 and return to town, the endgame battle begins.

From here, simply go to the top right of town, climb the stairs, and interact with the items on the ground. This will then lead you into Netherrealm, where you'll progress through different Timemark levels.

If you're a Path of Exile veteran, I'll explain this another way to make it easier to understand: Timemarks 1-7 are essentially equivalent to White Map in POE, Timemark 8 is Yellow Map, and all subsequent maps are equivalent to Red Map and above.

In terms of progression, the mechanics are quite simple. You initially activate Glacial Abyss, and all other areas are locked. As you reach the corresponding Timemark levels, you gradually unlock these areas.

In Glacial Abyss, you simply choose one area to explore. After completing two of them, you'll be able to fight the boss. This will upgrade your Timemark to level 2. From there, you can also enter Blistering Lava Sea.

After that, you simply need to return to Glacial Abyss in Timemark 2, complete two more battles there, and then fight the second-level boss before you can proceed to Blistering Lava Sea and do the same thing. After completing these two areas, you'll advance to Tier 3, unlock Steel Forge, and repeat the same process until Tier 7.

Here's a quick tip: Don't forget to check the small black hole in the upper right corner of each area icon; it indicates that you can still earn passive points by completing that area, meaning you haven't fully completed it yet.

Once you have all the passive points and have completed all areas, a small arrow will appear on the icon in the lower left corner, indicating that it's time to advance to the next level.

Farming Beacons

In fact, to access these areas, you also need to own a Beacon corresponding to the specific area you want to enter and the specific Timemark level you're interested in.

This means that to enter Glacial Abyss, you need to use Glacial Abyss Beacon from Timemark 1, then Blistering Lava Sea Beacon from Tier 2, and so on.

Note that you can earn a fair amount of Beacon drops simply by playing the game and clearing the entire map, so your sustain should be no problem. I don't recommend jumping into a Boss Rush right away.

If you run out of Beacon and need more, you can trade directly with Zac the Hunter. You can exchange your Netherrealm Resonance for Beacons of different levels in different areas or other valuable Torchlight Infinite Currency.

Void Chart Points

As you advance and defeat bosses, you may notice these Void Chart Passive Points appearing in the upper right corner of the screen. You can earn up to 92 points.

These Passive Points can be spent on specific mechanics in Void Chart. You can also use them to increase Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium drop rate from every monster you encounter, increase Beacon drop rate, or basically anything else you want to farm. There are many different options available; simply click on the configuration you're interested in.

Talent Tree Settings

Then, the game will then directly show you how to allocate your Passive Points to the corresponding talent tree. I personally recommend starting your passive tree by picking up all nodes that grant bonus Netherrealm Resonance when killing bosses.

Next, you'll want to focus on acquiring Beacon nodes. Currently, bosses have a fairly high chance of dropping a large amount of Resonance at once. This node converts 0.3% of that Resonance into Beacon. Basically, all Beacons are processed the same way up to tier 7.

Beyond that, you can increase boss spawn times to spawn multiple bosses per map, which not only keeps the map running smoothly but also earns a considerable amount of Torchlight Infinite FE.

If you have six or more modifiers on your map, you'll have a 50% chance of encountering two additional bosses, which will really speed up your strategy and earn you a considerable amount of currency.

There's also Medium Node, which has a 10% chance of granting you a Winding Key. If you're not satisfied with your setup, you can also use all of these points to acquire additional Energy Cores and Embers. These three items - Keys, Energy Cores, and Embers - are highly sought-after commodities, and you can passively generate a fair amount of them, which you can then sell on Auction House for a good profit.

Currently, a bag of 999 Netherrealm Resonance sells for around 40 to 50 Flame Elementium, the currency we used to trade almost everything in Torchlight Infinite. This substantial gain should be enough to get you started and acquire items for whatever build you're playing.

In short, Torchlight Infinite's Netherrealm endgame has quite a few strategies to employ, and while we've been able to cover some of them, we can't show you how it works in action. Trust us, it's fun to explore and try things out for yourself. Give it a try!
