What are the 4 GloryBound Trials?
The game description lists them in one line: Defeat Ignis, Glaucus, the Hydra of Lerna and Janus.
The names follow Roman and Greek myth, which is a fair hint at each fight’s theme, but SphereX Studio has not published their mechanics.
Trial
Ignis
Latin for “fire”. Expect a fire-themed fight.
Trial
Glaucus
In myth, a sea god and fisherman turned immortal. Expect a sea or water theme.
Trial · Raid base
Hydra of Lerna
The many-headed serpent from the labours of Hercules. Its Extreme form is the current Weekly Raid boss.

The two-faced Roman god of gates and beginnings.
Boss names: official The one-line notes on each name are mythology background, not in-game data.
What is the Weekly Raid?
The Update 3 event post calls it the Weekly Ultimate Raid: Take on rotating Extreme Bosses with devastating mechanics that will test your teamwork and skills.
The game description names the current one: WEEKLY RAID: Take on the Hydra of Lerna Extreme with your squad.
- Squad content. Both official texts stress teamwork. Survival squads are up to 4 players, so plan for a full party.
- Rotating boss. The Hydra of Lerna Extreme is this rotation; a different Extreme boss is expected in later weeks.
- Reset time. Not published yet.
What do the Trials and the Raid reward?
The Update 3 event lists Exclusive Mythic rewards: Earn Aether Shards and powerful Mythic Weapons!
Aether Shards are new with this update; what they buy is not published yet. Forge Embers, from deep Survival rounds, remain the other route to Legendary and Mythic gear. Loot and crafting →
How do you prepare for the Trials?
- Push Survival first. Survival now goes to wave 60. Deep runs give Forge Embers for Legendary and Mythic gear, and the Insane waves (41+) are a fair test of whether you are ready for an Extreme boss.
- Complete an armor set. The game description says complete sets give bonuses.
- Fill your ability slots. Update 3 added new abilities. Two extra slots at the Altar of Fortuna are sold in the store if you want four ready to equip.
- Bring a balanced squad. Mix a shield or spear on the front with a bow or Berserker. Class guide → (4 classes)
