Across K’aresh — the star-scarred desert where dunes hum like cooled glass — Rare foes wander between mirage and ruin. They carry coveted loot and a mosaic of rewards, the kind that turn dust into legend and travelers into collectors of shining stories.
Open this guide and walk by starlit bearings. We’ll show exactly where to find each K’aresh Rare Mob and how to bring it down: clear paths, keen signs, and sure steps — so every hunt ends with victory and spoils!
K’aresh is packed with rares, 19 in total to hunt across the zone. Few behave like ordinary rares on rotating timers, while a subset exists only when the sands "shift" during Phase Diving. Think of two overlapping layers of the same desert: in the normal phase you’ll sweep fixed spawn clusters; in the phased layer, new names step out of the mirage.
Every kill awards Valorstones and rolls on a loot table aligned to your current specialization, with a real chance at progression gear. You can claim the full reward from each rare only once per day; after that, the main loot won’t repeat until the next reset. A few are flagged as Rare Elites — longer respawns, sturdier mechanics, smoother with a small group. An achievement tracks the whole hunt (Remnants of a Shattered World).
When defeated, rares grant Valorstones and can also drop gear tailored to your specialization. Each K’aresh rare can be looted for its rewards only once per day, with a few Rare Elite exceptions. There’s also an achievement for slaying every K’aresh rare, Remnants of a Shattered World.
Practical hunting tips: time your Phase Diving windows so each zone loop includes a pass through the alternate layer; carry an interrupt and a defensive — most K'aresh Rares are soloable, but elites hit like mini-bosses. Use our maps below to route between clusters, and you’ll turn the desert’s silence into a steady flow of kills, valorstones, and gear.
The rares listed below are available only during the normal K’aresh phase:
The five ordinary K’aresh Rares live in the normal layer and pop at fixed, easy-to-loop spots around markets, ruins, and dune edges. They’re quick, solo-friendly targets that can award useful, spec-appropriate gear. Each counts once per day, so a short circuit through these five makes a dependable routine and pushes progress toward Remnants of a Shattered World.

| Grubber | 71.1, 56.9 | Tazavesh | — | East-side dirt patch in Tazavesh; appears when you use a Grubber Lure from its Warrant. |

The 14 Phase Diving rares exist only in K’aresh’s alternate layer and appear while you’re phased. Many patrol wide arcs, perch on platforms, or hover above the sands, so routing here is about timing — watch the phase windows, portals, conduits, and common landing points!
Each can be claimed once per day like their normal-phase counterparts. Use the map to chain platform hubs and patrol paths into a single loop so you catch spawns as they cycle through.
| Rare | Coordinates | Special Loot | Note |
| Sthaarbs | 73.8, 32.9; 75.8, 32.8 (Portal) | Sthaarbs's Last Lunch; Veiling Mana Shroud | RARE ELITE. Floats high above the center of the Oasis. Use the portal that appears near friendly NPCs by the Oasis Phase Conduit to reach the surrounding platforms. You can hop between platforms via the swirling jump pads; when targeted by Repulsive Gaze, swap platforms so you are not knocked off. |
| The Nightreaver | 51.8, 58.6 | Duskthief | Patrols a very large loop just east of Eco-Dome Primus in the Phase Diving layer. It flies high but dips near the listed point for easier tagging; treat it as a roaming spore bat and watch for long passes before it returns. |
| Urmag | 70.2, 49.9 | Pearlescent Krolusk | Stationary just north of the ruins of Eco-Dome Rhovan. Phase Diving rare; a carpid lurking in shallow sands with a small chance to drop the listed mount. |
| Xarran the Binder | 65.1, 49.9 | — | Found by the Lunnall River delta, just south of the Lunnall River Phase Conduit. Phase Diving rare; an ethereal target near the zone’s center along the riverbank. |
| Ixthar the Unblinking | 63.8, 44.3 | — | RARE ELITE. A massive observer in the Phase Diving layer; hits hard and hovers over the dunes north of the Oasis. Treat the coordinates as its lowest pass point. |
| Korgorath the Ravager | 66.0, 43.5 | — | Patrols broad circuits across the Tempest Fields in Phase Diving. No unique drop; expect standard gear rolls as you intercept it along the route. |
| Maw of the Sands | 54.4, 54.4 | — | RARE ELITE. A colossal devourer beneath a giant rock outcrop west of Eco-Dome Primus in Phase Diving. Burrows and reappears around the marked formation. |
| Morgil the Netherspawn | 55.7, 52.1 | Jimmy | Circles the central Serrated Peaks in Phase Diving, south of the Archival Assault delve portal. Large buglike foe; the pet can drop from its loot table. |
| Orith the Dreadful | 52.7, 20.5 | — | RARE ELITE. Soars around Shadow Point in Phase Diving and periodically lands at the listed spot in Tempest Tract; best time to pull is during those landing windows. |
| Prototype Mk-V | 46.0, 24.2 | — | Tracks a short patrol east of the Shadow Point Phase Conduit in Phase Diving, near the icy river in the northeast quadrant of K’aresh. |
| Revenant of the Wasteland | 50.4, 64.4 | — | Appears in the southwest of K’aresh’s Phase Diving layer, just north of the Ruins of Yaathron Phase Conduit. An ascended broker that lingers in a compact area. |
| Sha’ryth the Cursed | 73.5, 55.1 | — | Glides high over the dunes east of Eco-Dome Rhovan in Phase Diving, then drops to ground level at the coordinates for an easy tag. Hunter-tameable feathermane. |
| Shadowhowl | 51.4, 49.5 | — | Prols a tight loop at the Shadowguard camp in Serrated Peaks within the Phase Diving layer, just southeast of the Archival Assault delve portal; a hulking demonic hound. |
| Stalker of the Wastes | 76.7, 42.2 | — | Hunts a small patch of the Merciless Wastes south of the Oasis in Phase Diving. Warp stalker behavior; expect short resets between patrol passes. |
