Forgotten Depths III takes players into the flooded lower reaches of the dungeon. Stormhaven's announcement describes it as a new level 40+ area and the first raid challenge in Embers Adrift.

The raid is built for level 50 characters. A second group can wait in the preparation area because one party is not expected to finish the encounter alone. That makes coordination part of the challenge before anyone reaches the boss.

The lower depths are flooded, so parts of the route continue underwater. Players can dive freely, while the new Aq'll enemy can move on land and through open water. Diving is limited to Forgotten Depths for now.

The patch also improves character and equipment loading, reduces VRAM use, and gives crafting professions new Utility Slot recipes. The recent outage is a separate issue: servers are back, and compensation details are in our previous report.

The update date and current game status are listed on the Embers Adrift page.
