Delver of the Cryptic Guide — Six Cardinals Protocol Spaces & Schedule
The official Endfield schedule for Delver of the Cryptic: Artful Realm of Six Cardinals, its initial three Protocol Spaces, the August 26 expansion, and published rewards.
A Protocol Space expansion in two waves
Delver of the Cryptic updates on August 19, 2026 at 12:00 server time with the puzzle-solving spatial set Artful Realm of Six Cardinals. The official notes say that three new Protocol Spaces are available initially, followed by three more on August 26 at 04:00 server time.
The published completion rewards include Oroberyl ×1,200 and Mark of Perseverance. This is a spatial-set update, so the live challenge screen is the source of truth for any unlock condition, puzzle rule, or specific reward requirement.
A sensible launch plan
- On August 19 or later, open the Protocol Space or event entry and locate Artful Realm of Six Cardinals.
- Complete the three initially available spaces at a pace that leaves room for the August 26 release.
- Return after the server-time update on August 26 for the remaining three spaces.
- Claim completed spatial-set rewards from the live screen.
Keep it distinct from Echoes of War
Delver of the Cryptic adds puzzle-oriented Protocol Spaces. Echoes of War is the permanent seasonal challenge mode added with Homecoming. They are separate activities with different stage structures and reward screens; see the Echoes of War guide for its published season and difficulty rewards.
