QUICK ANSWER
Remember These First
Kabala is optional but gives a permanent +2 Weapon Set Passive Skill Points reward.
The reward is a book drop you must use, not an automatic passive gain.
In Keth, reached via the Venom Pit off the Act 2 path.
When walls form, find the one unclosed exit; do not get pinned.
Drops the Book of Specialisation — right-click it to claim +2 Weapon Set points.
ACCESS & CONTEXT
Location, Access and Failure Cost

Walls change the safe space mid-fight.
No material cost.
Permanent; via Book of Specialisation (right-click).
Reach Keth
Branch off the Act 2 main path into the Venom Pit.
Kabala's arena is at the pit's end.
BEFORE THE FIGHT
Pre-Fight Preparation Checklist
| Done | Check | Why it matters | Quick fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Armour / evasion Constrictor attacks reduce effective armour. | Her contact lowers your defences temporarily. | Do not rely on a single defensive layer; keep recovery. | |
| Movement speed Bone walls can box you in. | Slow characters get pinned by walls. | Boots with movement speed; learn the exit. | |
| Burst damage Kill before too many wall cycles. | Walls extend the fight and clutter space. | Bringsingle-target burst if safe. |
ARENA READING
Arena Reading
Kabala fights in a circular pit. Periodically she raises Bone Walls that partially box the arena; one exit is always left open.
The Burrow Slam telegraphs a red burst where she resurfaces — that is the deadliest moment, not the wall itself.
- Blue = approach. Orange = Burrow resurface. Red = red burst radius. Green = the unclosed wall exit.
PHASE BREAKDOWN
Phase Breakdown
Phase 1 · Phase 1: Venom Pit
Trigger: Fight starts at full health.
Objectives- Track bone wall exits

STRATEGY
Strategy and Key Mechanics
Bone Wall Escape — when walls rise, the unclosed exit is your route; do not fight the wall, reposition through the gap.
Reward Claim Flow — defeat Kabala, check the Book of Specialisation drop, pick it up, right-click to use it, open the Passive Tree, confirm the Weapon Set Passive count increased.
The +2 Weapon Set Passive Points are permanent but require the book use; they are not normal passive points and not a Clan Relic.
- Melee: punish during the brief surface windows, not while she is burrowed.
- Ranged: kite around walls; keep the exit in sight.
- If armour feels low, it is the grasp debuff — reposition and recover.

- Look for the highlighted drop.
- Free inventory space before looting.
- Re-enter the arena if needed.
Points did not increase after pickup.
