At certain levels of Qliphoth Meltdowns, an Ordeal will manifest instead of Containment Unit Meltdowns occurring.
‘Ordeals’ are a form of Abnormality that is unrefined. Ordeals come in four risk levels, corresponding to the times of day: Dawn, Noon, Dusk, and Midnight. As the level of Qliphoth Meltdowns increases, higher levels of Ordeals will manifest.
Ordeals will hinder the management of Abnormalities in a variety of ways. However, as Ordeals are also a form of Abnormality, they can be suppressed just the same by ordering your Agents. To learn more about suppressing Ordeals and Abnormalities, please see the section ‘Suppressing Abnormalities’.
