If you're going through hell, keep on going

On the scorching plains of Hak Etme, a mirage crab appears as an illusion—a false oasis that beckons the desperate. Its flat, expansive body is now marred by swirling tendrils of violet void energy. The creature conjures an eerie illusion of a shimmering pool bordered by spectral palm trees, luring unsuspecting prey close. As you draw near, the mirage dissipates, and the crab’s sharp mandibles snap in a silent, brutal motion. Its many eyes, plucked from forgotten creatures, glimmer with a cruel, predatory light—a grim promise of the void’s relentless hunger.

As Hak Etme has been taken over by the Family, remaining in this area will be dangerous as the flora/fauna will continue to grow increasingly hostile toward you. Remaining in this thread for a prolonged period of time will likely trigger a KQ.
