Mordant Earth Boss chest

The Mordant Earth evolution starts with the Nuln Oil in both Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar runs. You need the Hourglass at any level.

Multiple launch-week guides list this pairing. This is a source cross-check, not a claim that this site tested the recipe in game.

How do you get Mordant Earth?

This pairing is listed for both universes, so you can plan it in either type of run.

Mordant Earth evolution checklist: use the Nuln Oil, carry Hourglass at any level, and open a boss or elite chest. This is the core requirement set for the Mordant Earth evolution in both Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar runs.

• Base weapon: Nuln Oil; max level is required before its evolution step.
• Passive: Hourglass at any level.
• Chest: a boss or elite chest after the requirements are ready.
• Result: replaces the base weapon (standard evolution).

Things to know

The same recipe works in both Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar runs.

Step by step

Keep the weapon, passive and eligible chest requirements in view together. A matching weapon and passive do not trigger an evolution by themselves; the chest is the final step.

1. Level the Nuln Oil to max. Most weapons max out at level 8. It can show up in runs from either universe.
2. Pick up the Hourglass. Any level works, so you do not need to upgrade it.
3. Open a boss or elite chest. Kill a boss or elite enemy and open the chest it drops. If the weapon and passive are both ready, the chest gives you Mordant Earth.
