Mountain of Fate
The Mountain of Fate rises behind The Last Bite. Its slopes are full of powerful spirits, from monster level 42 to 56. On the summit no person and no monster waits for you, but an opportunity: here you can ascend into a new life.
How do you get there?
Section titled “How do you get there?”From The Last Bite you take the Pilgrims' Trail (from level 42, free). Down to The Last Bite takes you back down. There is no instant travel and no coach on the mountain; the fastest way to the village is the coach from The Last Bite.
What can you do there?
Section titled “What can you do there?”The mountain has three places: the Slopes with the fights, the boss, ghostbloom, snow grouse and skyiron, the Pilgrims’ Hut to rest, and the Summit.

- Mining skyiron uses the same tool tiers as the Cliffs; a Steel Pickaxe is best.
- Meditation on the slopes and on the summit gives the most Qi before the Temple; that helps you fill the last stages of Foundation Establishment before you ascend.
- Snow grouse is the meat Tessa wants most at The Last Bite.
What is on the summit?
Section titled “What is on the summit?”From level 50 you can climb to the summit. You meditate there, and the summit is the only place where you can ascend: the button waits for you there once you meet the requirements. The Soul Tree, the family vault and the class trial stay at the Soul Shrine in the village.
Which monsters live there?
Section titled “Which monsters live there?”The 
Gale Spirit, the 
Rime Spirit, the 
Cairn Spirit, the 
Cinder Spirit, the 
Blade Spirit and the 
Mist Slime: one spirit for every element, so your element affinity matters on every fight. The 
Fate Warden is an elite that attacks through a random event.
The 
Spirit of Fate is the zone boss on the slopes, level 50, from character level 46, with a respawn timer of 1 h. Golden threads swallow most of your damage until an elemental skill tears them, and every few actions it gathers itself for a very heavy blow. In a party fight its echo hits every fighter.

Tips and common mistakes
Section titled “Tips and common mistakes”- Bring elemental skills for the Spirit of Fate. Without them its ward swallows most of your damage.
- Rest at the Pilgrims’ Hut, not the motel. It is right on the slopes.
- Defeat the Spirit of Fate before you ascend. Every different boss of this life adds soul points.
