What the two stones are
Official posts name Sealing Stone of Gratitude and Sealing Stone of the First Oath. They permanently grant access to two new dungeons with dedicated storylines, unique boss fights and special loot. The dungeon content and its release date are not published. Do not treat owning the stones as proof those dungeons are in the current client.
These stones are not the relics/runes growth system. Relic passives stay on the relics, runes and progression page.
How to claim (live posts, 25 August 2026)
The live August 18 Price Drop post and the live August 19 Early Purchase post now say the same claim method:
- Download Patch 13 (or later; Patch 14 is the current numbered client).
- Start or load the game before the price drop.
- The two stones are granted directly. You do not collect them from a chest.
Patch 14’s important note: full-price purchasers no longer collect the stones from a chest. They are granted upon starting or loading a game.
Older 8-19 wording (travel to Second Camp, The Gap of a Long-Standing Oath, open a reward chest) is kept only as a historical snapshot on the latest news page. It is not the current live post.
Claim window versus live price
Live posts time the free window to close when the price drop happens on Tuesday 25 August 2026 at 11:59 PM UK time. They also say the stones will later be available for purchase to players who are not eligible.
The August 25 14:18 UTC US appdetails recheck still listed $49.99 with
discount_percent=0. The drop was not live at that recheck, about 8.5 hours before the
named cutoff. Recheck the release date and platforms hub and the
live Steam page after 23:59 UK.
The ~33% figure is an official estimate, not a checkout price.
Map markers, not a walkthrough
Patch 13 added map guide markers for Sealing Stone Unlock Areas, plus Villages and Boss Encounter Locations. Patch 14 unified Sealing Stone dungeon icons. Those notes do not name which future dungeon each stone opens. Use the quest list / walkthrough hub for named map and event fixes; this page stays on the two key items.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I claim The Relic sealing stones?
- Live official posts say download Patch 13 or later, then start or load the game. Patch 14 removed the chest. Older snapshots that said “open a chest at Second Camp” are not the current live posts.
- When does the free Sealing Stone window close?
- Live August 18 and August 19 posts both time the close to 11:59 PM UK on Tuesday 25 August 2026, when the announced ~33% price drop happens. Recheck the live store after that cutoff.
- Can I play the Sealing Stone dungeons today?
- No. Official Patch 13 notes say the stones unlock new dungeons in a future update. They are key items, not playable areas today.
- Are sealing stones the same as relics or runes?
- No. Relics (runes) are the 70+ passive growth system. These two Sealing Stones are separately named key items for later dungeons. See the relics page for the growth system.
