Minecraft Dungeons 2 is finally here, and with it comes a brand new in-game event introduced to you early on, Rifts. These Rifts will take you to the all-new Sift Dimension, where you are in an instanced "dungeon", and you make your way through, gathering emeralds, and the new Echo Shards, Enchantments, as well as gear you earn along the way. These are an excellent source of Echo Shards early on, which are used to upgrade your Merchant, Blacksmith, and Enchantsmith, as well as re-rolling perks on your gear.

How Rifts Work
In order to have rifts spawn in your game, you need to progress through the story, but don't worry, it is very early on that you are introduced to these. Once they are spawning in your world, you will see them on your map. See picture below for what it looks like.
Once you reach it, all you need to do is interact and go inside.
Once inside, you have a fairly linear path to the end, and along the way, you will find an abundance of Emerald containers.
Rifts are a great source of Emeralds early on, as is salvaging unused gear. Throughout the Rift, you will encounter the new mob type "Soul-Infused" mobs, which are beefier versions of a normal enemy, resembling Elites from other ARPGs. Upon defeating these enemies, you will receive Echo Shards. Continue through the Rift to the end, where you will be hit with an "Ambush", and need to fight approximately 2-3, maybe more, waves of enemies before a Boss will spawn.
The boss will typically be an enemy type found in the Sift, or sometimes, it can be a Soul-Infused enemy. Regardless, defeat this enemy to complete the Rift. When you reach the exit, a chest will be waiting for you with a good amount of Echo Shards, a new Enchantment, as well as some gear for your troubles.
That is how to complete the Rift world events in Minecraft Dungeons 2.
