Newtist

The Newtist is a Challenge in Risk of Rain 2.

The Challenge calls for the player to activate 8 unique New Altars. This can be completed across multiple runs. Completing this challenge unlocks the Rare item Soulbound Catalyst.

The Newt Altars have three spawns in each map, and will always spawn in one of them, rarely in more than one. Any 8 separate Altars must be activated.
