Metastasized Essentia is a new type of material that can be obtained after Episode: Heresy was released, which provides you with a way to get decent rewards in this episode.
This material is originally obtained as Fleeting Metastasized Essentia in the new Nether activities and you will need to defeat bosses to convert them.
While this material is highly needed to obtain amazing rewards later, you may find yourself having to grind a bit to get enough for later.
How To Get Metastasized Essentia?
Exploring the Dreadnaught (Nether Activity) will allow you to find Fleeting Metastasized Essentia nodes, which appear as a sphere with spikes coming out of it. (It glows similarly as Taken do)
Interacting with these objects will allow you to collect Fleeting Metastasized Essentia, which you can convert into Metastasized Essentia by defeating bosses.
If your team loses all their lives and is wiped out or if you decide to leave the activity, any Fleeting Metastasized Essentia will be lost. (You keep the converted ones regardless)
How To Keep Fleeting Metastasized Essentia?
It is possible to keep a small amount of the Fleeting Metastasized Essentia that you have collected if you fail the activity or leave it.
This can be done if you have unlocked the Essentia Rune from the Runic Enhancements menu when viewing the Shaping Slap.
Upon failing or exiting a Nether activity with the Essentia Rune active, a small amount of the Fleeting Metastasized Essentia will be converted and kept.
Best Way To Farm Metastasized Essentia
The best way for you to farm Metastasized Essentia is to explore the Dreadnaught as much as possible and collect Fleeting Metastasized Essentia.
Once you have cleared the area, it will be time to find a boss to defeat to convert all of them into Metastasized Essentia.
It is ideal to defeat all the bosses that you encounter each time you have gathered Fleeting Metastasized Essentia without failing so you do not lose any.
Metastasized Essentia Uses
Metastasized Essentia may be offered to the Taken Altar (You will need 10 of this material) found inside Eris Morn’s Flat, which will reward you with the following:
- 200 Taken Mastery

There is a chance for you to also obtain the following rewards when offering Metastasized Essentia to the Taken Altar:

Verdict

Offering Metastasized Essentia to the Taken Altar is a quick way for you to boost your Shaping Slab Reputation Rank and is also a quick way to get Essence of Desire.
A Good way to get your hands on a lot of Metastasized Essentia would be to explore the Dreadnaught as much as possible and defeat the bosses to avoid losing them.
