Epic

 * The monsters for this Challenge are meant for very experienced players. You must be level 20 or higher to enter this Challenge.
 * Epic Challenges offer alternate rewards that can upgrade Challenge loot into its Epic version.
 * Though the challenge is called "epic" and offers epic-level rewards. Thats about where the comparison to other epic quests stop. Challenges do not feature epic difficulty. Examples: No monsters posses Epic ward, traps do not deal as much damage as other epic quests, their are no repeat timers, shrines reset, re-entry is allowed (within 3 minutes), epic fragments and tokens do not drop, and other non-epic rules are present. They are essentially Normal difficulty, with some tweaks to make them more challenging.
 * The main technical differences are enemies gain a lot more hitpoints, and deathblock when compared to the lvl20 version of the same challenge.

Player Notes

 * There are 8 Portals to deplete, deplete them by jumping through (using) them. Three jumps will deplete a portal; unsure if exiting through counts.
 * The portals take you to various spots around the island; however, the destination is random, and will sometimes bring you back to the same spot,
 * The Orthons do not appear until the quota is met.
 * Two star objectives (Kill 25 Orthons and Maintain an extraction rate of 20 shards per second) are essentially impossible to complete.
