Here's more on the first kill contest:

Sail to the Void Sea to search for mysterious treasures! Torchlight: Infinite's Season 2 First Kill Contest has started!

The start of the new season sounds the horn of a new hunt! While holding back swarms of advancing pirates, Hunters will continue to move forward in the Void Sea map, defeat the [Season Boss - Lord of the Void Sea], and complete the first kill of the new S2!

About Season-exclusive Gameplay:
  • Hunters who enter the Netherrealm and defeat monsters there will get some drops with special affixes called Void Sea Flames. After killing the boss at the end of the stage, an interactive device called the Void Sea Seal will appear on the map.
  • Unlock the challenge on the map by offering any Void Sea Flame in the Void Sea Seal and complete the challenge to break the seal. After breaking six seals, Hunters can go to the Void Sea Terminal to challenge the Bride of Void Sea.
  • After being defeated, the Bride of Void Sea might drop a ticket called a Void Sea Invitation. Collect Void Sea Invitations to challenge the final boss of the season called the Lord of the Void Sea.
Contest Rules:

Defeat the Lord of the Void Sea at the lowest difficulty level to complete the season first kill and enter the rankings. Of course, brave Hunters are very welcome to directly challenge a higher difficulty level :)
  • Note: The difficulty level of the Lord of the Void Sea differs according to the number of Void Sea Invitations the Hunter places in the Void Sea Seal.
The rankings of all Hero Traits on each server will be calculated separately in this event. This means Hunters who prefer different Hero Traits and are from different servers can now compete with Hunters who share the same preference as themselves!
