A new Sculk Dimension is added to your world, built around the mysteries of the Ancient Cities. To enter this dimension, you must first craft a special Sculk Lighter. Place an Echo Shard anywhere in the crafting grid—no specific pattern required—and it will transform into the lighter.
Once you have it, travel to an Ancient City and locate the massive, inactive portal frame at its center. The structure is usually covered in thick sculk vines, so you’ll need to clear every vine from the frame before it can activate. When the frame is completely clean, use your Sculk Lighter on the portal to ignite it and open the gateway.
Stepping through will take you into the new Sculk Dimension, a dark, echo-filled world shaped by the same energy that powers the Warden.
