Encounter

Players first encounter the Cube of Rapacity mechanic within the Netherrealm. It has a small chance to appear in every Stage but some Void Chart Talents increase this chance. Use Enhancement Compasses for guaranteed Cube of Rapacity encounters in the Stage.

Interact with the Cube of Rapacity to spend Desire Crystals to Covet rewards. When you spend Desire Crystals, you randomly get 1 of the 8 presented rewards, some of them being rarer than others. Repeat this process multiple times until you run out of Desire Crystals and claim your rewards! Unspent Desire Crystals above 50 will be lost when you enter the next zone.
