For the 3.19 endgame expansion, see Lake of Kalandra (expansion).

The Lake of Kalandra is an area found in the Kalandra League. Players can use Mirrored Tablets to create paths leading to treasure or enhancement that make the Lake's shrouded waters more rewarding the deeper you go, but also make the encounters more difficult.

Rewards

Reflecting Mist

Sometimes, Kalandra may appear in the Lake of Kalandra, and create a Reflecting Mist upon completing the encounter, offering you a choice between two mirrored rare rings or amulets with unusual mods. Some are scaled-up versions of existing modifiers, while others are strong negative versions of the same modifier. The rings provide inverse stats; a negative mod on one ring is positive on the other. The magnitude of the modifiers is dependent on the difficulty of the completed encounter. You may only pick one of these items to take.

Sometimes, it may offer a ring basetype exclusive to the Lake of Kalandra and likewise contains alternate effects based on which ring slot they are equipped into:
