The Keyes Island Reactor Trial is the third Incarnate Trial, released with Issue 20.5: Incarnates Ascend, which takes place in Praetoria. A maximum of 24 players can raid the Keyes Island Reactor.

During the mission, a voice will "radio in" information about your progress. While there is no specific contact (the trial is entered entirely through the LFG menu), it is possible that your unseen helper is meant to be Prometheus as he was added in Issue 20 to recruit Incarnate-capable players to wage a war against Emperor Cole and end his quest to become more in-tune with the Well of the Furies.

???TRUE??? All Incarnate Components other than Alpha Slot requirements will drop during this trial, ???TRUE??? and both types of Incarnate Experience are gained towards unlocking the Incarnate Slots.

This feature originally required Going Rogue.

In Detail

The Keyes Island Reactor Trial is an incarnate Trial that takes place in Praetoria. There is no contact for this trial, though it could be argued that Prometheus is your contact. However, rather than going to anyone for a mission, the players use the Team-Up Teleporter to find other interested players. The trial consists of a single mission that has five stages: defeating WarWork guards, securing Reactor "Hope", securing Reactor "Genesis", securing Reactor "Infinity" and finally defeating Anti-Matter.

Notable NPCs

• Anti-Matter (Archvillain)

Incarnate System

• Physical Incarnate & Psychic Incarnate Experience, which unlock the Alpha, Lore, Destiny, Judgement and Interface Slots if any of those slots are locked.
• Once per 20 hour period, an Empyrean Merit will be awarded upon successful completion of the Trial.
  • Any successive completion of the Trial within that 20 hour window will instead award an Astral Merit. This functionality is essentially the Incarnate Trial version of Merit Reward Diminishing Returns.

• Random Uncommon Components can be awarded for the first time a badge is obtained. A random Rare Component can be awarded for the first time the Master of Keyes Island Reactor badge is obtained. Bonus Astral Merits can be earned multiple times as long as the requirements for the badge are fulfilled, even if you already have the badge.

  • ??? SHORT EXPLANATION OF SIDE MISSION OBJECTIVES ???
    • ??? LONGER EXPLANATION INCLUDING BADGE ICON/NAME ???
