According to Hades

TO HELL, WE GO

Summoners, you know it by a few different names: Hades, Underworld, Netherworld… Hell. And that, our dearest Summoners, is where we must ask you to go.

Mephisto commands that you ride with Cosmic Ghost Rider and restore Hell to the state of familiar chaos it once was. Enter special Limbo Quests throughout the week to recover Lost Souls and Skeleton Keys, which you can use to unlock Mephisto’s Hades Invasions. Clean up the map defeating Champions and gathering up rewards scattered throughout Hades. Complete 7 Deadly Sins Solo Objectives and partake in the Punishing Arena to earn Special Monsters & Hunters crystal shards and more!

Starts: 10/07/2020 @ 17:00 UTC (10AM PDT)
Ends: 11/04/2020 @ 18:00 UTC (10AM PST)

LIMBO QUESTS

Each quest will consist of a single (1) path with three (3) fights + Boss fight. These quests will award you Skeleton Keys, which can then be used in Mephisto’s Hades Invasions, according to its assigned Difficulties, e.g. Legendary Invasion will require a Legendary Key. You will also accumulate the Lost Souls of sinners condemned to wander the endless torments of limbo, whether you like it or not. Keep reading, those Lost Souls will serve you well...

No free lunch in Hell, so this is the total Energy cost per Difficulty:
Legendary: 16
Epic: 16
Master: 8
Heroic: 8

Rewards:

Note: Completion/Exploration Rewards will refresh every 24 hours.

MEPHISTO'S HADES INVASIONS

You made it. Welcome to Hell.

You will be taken through a total of five (5) quests. It’s tough enough to be in Hell, so hereon you will expend NO ENERGY. You will receive one (1) new quest on the first day; and then further new quests will reveal itself to you every five (5) days, so heed the timeline per quest. Each quest will consist of three (3) fights + Boss fight. As mentioned previously, you will need Skeleton Keys in order to unlock the gates to Hell, e.g. Legendary Key is required to unlock the Legendary gates of Hell. You will be rewarded with many a splendour along the quest paths, and also receive Gold, for those so inclined to Complete and Explore.
Important note: You MUST complete the path in order to claim all rewards on the path. If you exit the path before completing it, the rewards will be returned to the path. You can only claim the rewards on the path ONCE. The paths will be unlocked permanently once you’ve unlocked them the first time.

Lucky for us, Mephisto rules the underworld with some order to his chaos and has afforded us a schedule of his intentions:
Quest 1 - 10/07/2020 @ 17:00 UTC (10AM PDT)
Quest 2 - 10/12/2020 @ 17:00 UTC (10AM PDT)
Quest 3 - 10/17/2020 @ 17:00 UTC (10AM PDT)
Quest 4 - 10/22/2020 @ 17:00 UTC (10AM PDT)
Quest 5 - 10/27/2020 @ 17:00 UTC (10AM PDT)

SOUL BOOST STORE

Trade in all the Lost Souls collected for special boosts for use in the Hades Invasions.

Starts: 10/07/2020 @ 17:00 UTC (10AM PDT)
Ends: 11/04/2020 @ 18:00 UTC (10AM PST)

Mephisto acknowledges the...challenge...that will no doubt arise for mere mortals in the underworld, and so he has granted you all the benefit of Soul Boosts (exclusive to Mephisto’s Hades Invasions). You may have suspected, but any benefit from the underworld comes at a cost. Remember those Lost Souls you accumulated? This is where you can trade them in for your Soul Boosts. Each Soul Boost will cost you 100 Lost Souls.

And, here is all we know about the various types of Soul Boosts:

Soul of Wrath - The Attacker is Immune to Incinerate. Whenever an Incinerate fails to apply to the Attacker due to an Immunity, the Defender gains a Fury Passive, increasing Attack Rating by 40% for 8 second(s). This Boost can only be used in the "Hades Invasions" Quest.

Soul of Sloth - The Attacker is Immune to Coldsnap. Whenever a Coldsnap fails to apply to the Attacker due to an Immunity and the Defender isn't Stunned, the Defender gains an Evade charge, granting 100% chance to Evade the next attack for 6 second(s). 1 Evade charge(s) are removed when the Defender Evades. This Boost can only be used in the "Hades Invasions" Quest.

Soul of Envy - The Attacker is Immune to Poison. Whenever a Poison fails to apply to the Attacker due to an Immunity, the Defender gains an Unstoppable Buff for 7 second(s). This Boost can only be used in the "Hades Invasions" Quest.

Soul of Pride - The Attacker is Immune to Bleed. Whenever a Bleed fails to apply to the Attacker due to an Immunity, the Defender gains 20% of a Bar of Power. This Boost can only be used in the "Hades Invasions" Quest.

Soul of Greed - The Attacker is Immune to Shock. Whenever a Shock fails to apply to the Attacker due to an Immunity, the Defender Regenerates 10% of their maximum health over 2 second(s). The Regeneration has an 8 second cooldown. This Boost can only be used in the "Hades Invasions" Quest.

More on Lost Souls…
The thirst for souls in Hades has put you in yet another advantageous position with your accumulated Lost Souls. Rumour has it, Mephisto will also take Lost Souls in exchange for Skeleton Keys, should you wish to go the extra mile in Hades.

Here is the deal:
300 Lost Souls for a Legendary OR Epic Key
150 Lost Souls for a Master OR Heroic Key

Hell hath no better offer!

I just ran legwndary once. Can i run it again for more souls?

What about running the other difficulties too once to at least get the key for each difficulty?

I think you can run it multiple times but there's a bug where you can receive the shards multiple times but your only supposed to get it once.

Ok i just ran legendary again. Got souls for each fight and upon completion got another key. But also got shards at the end. I will stop running legendary now, i think this was not supposed to happen (getting the shard again)

Anyways i will run the other difficulties once just to collect the keys

WARNING!!!!! (KABAM PLEASE READ)
I believe that I found a bug.
I went to the new Hades side quest today and I figured out that you can farm multiple keys, shards and souls.
DO NOT REPLAY THE QUEST AFTER DOING IT THE FIRST TIME. KABAM PLEASE FIX IT ON MY ACCOUNT.

amit57111

@Kabam Miike @Kabam Boo i have ran this quest 3 times today but at the 3rd time i have noticed that i got some shards after the completion, so i went to this post and saw that we are supposed to get shards only once, i have stopped running this quest, am i ok in case of a ban wave?
Also regarding the cavalier challenge for the 10% of the t5cc if i enter with a team of less than 10k team rating and then use boosts, will i get the reward or not?
Thank you guys for doing a great job.

Morpheus_123

Even though I have only run the quests once, if was to get a ban for playing the content as it has been put out, then Kabam could be assured I would delete the game and never play it again. To ban anyone for simply playing content they have made available is completely absurd!

Let's not mistake this for some sort of cheating. It's not like running 3rd party software to mine, or finding loopholes to enter content that you shouldn't. It a quest which has been made available, and can be run over and over by using the energy that a player has.

I'd accept a loss of time if Kabam want to reimburse energy and remove rewards, but to ban people for this absolutely preposterous!

It's unbelievable that players be afraid of ban because of kabam's mistakes, this is the second time it happens just like krakoa.
Kabam fix your bugs and don't blame your clients for your problems, it's like if someone enter my house and leave a suitcase with money and then I'm being accused of theft.

Nikos72

I wonder if this event (having only one path) is meant to be played only once, why after completing it there is a replay button ?

Dibang85

@Kabam Miike
Will you ban 1 week every player that tried just 1 more time to check if the quest is bugged ?
I mean I did every difficulty once, but I tried just 1 another time (because you said we could do it multiple times).

Furthermore, if you said we can do the quest several times, why players will be banned ? For being awarded with shards ? It's not their fault if the quest is bugged, they followed your informations. no ? ...

Lordvanalukar

In german Mail they say
Du kannst dich nach dunkler Lust und laune schinden um verlohren Seelen und Dietrich zu erhalten.
(You can tinker with dark moods to get lost souls and lockpicks.)

Ggnore2332

I did the first 3 difficulty modes with out realizing it could be bug ESPECIALLY since we are supposed to do them more then once. Banning players in this situation would be completely unjustified!! Maybe it'd be different if it was an obvious glitch but this one wasn't even obvious... if kabam wants to take away me and other players shards fine but a ban after a second mistake is just anti player!

Liss_Bliss_

This is player entrapment for sure. You tell us to grind with in game mail. Then post on forums that anyone who grinds will be banned.

How about you send in-game mail and stop setting people up to fail?

Wait where did they post for this event saying if you abuse the bug you will get banned?

GodOfJustice

I am still waiting for kabam’s update to enter in other difficulties.. i did one run of legendary and then came in to see in forum and since then waiting for the update..

Psycroptix

There is a mutant island kind of bug , again, when I did the legendary quest again, I got all the rewards again. I m not doing it again, and ok to give away the shards but why is this kind of bug happening again n again? Players have to afraid of bugs rather than be excited when new events starts..

Kabam Zibiit

Hey there everyone, the team is currently looking into these reports as this is not the way this quest is intended to function. They're working on getting it resolved and we'll update everyone as soon as we can, but for the time being I wouldn't recommend running the quest multiple times.

VlajkoK

Jesus Christ, I have used all my today energy to run epic difficulty many times to get the soul rewards, only now I can see this warning in forums. It really wouldn't be fair to ban us when I didn't even realise I was doing something wrong

If possible, reboot shards, souls, etc. but you can't blame people for a bug you made, furthermore in a quest you said we can play multiple times. Don't you agree ? @Kabam Zibiit

RevHeresy

The fact the quest was out early wasn’t enough of a suggestion it was broken. El oh el.

Lucifer_666

Don't you dare ban us...you should have shut your quest ..I've done the quest 2-3 times...but I didn't realise this is a bug... everyone must have done this...so don't you ban us

Kabam Miike

Don't you dare ban us...you should have shut your quest ..I've done the quest 2-3 times...but I didn't realise this is a bug... everyone must have done this...so don't you ban us

I will ban you and only you. >:(

Kabam Miike

Hey all, we are going to have to pull down the quest while we work to fix this. While some of the items are meant to be farmable, the shards are not. Luckily, this situation is very different than the last one, and the crystals have not gone live yet. They will also be delayed while we figure out our plan of action.

I personally haven't done any runs through the limbo quests yet, being worried after last month's treasure island issues. I was lucky to check the forums before trying them out, but not everyone reads the forums and I don't blame them. I'm sure there are people who still have no clue that the shards were a bug and kept on going through them not knowing they were doing anything wrong. I don't think it would be fair for anyone to be punished for this
