The rift: Mountaintop theory (2024)

On the forums, but generally in the skyblock field, a lot of people have been theorizing parts of the rift about its lore and secrets. In this forum, i will show my theory towards the most mysterious and vague part of the rift, the Mountaintop

But first, lets talk about what makes it so special.
According to the rift guide, the mountain is referred to as the tip of the dimension, where everything skyblockish began to take place. This location is behind the wizard portal, up the mountain. A lot of players (including me) tried to reach the area and explore it, but we are instantly greeted with this message before we reach the house

Already, this is somewhat weird for the rift-ish eye, since every rift POI requires rift time to enter or a timecharm. Also, there is little to no chance anadmin is gonna take you there, its just *spoiling the suprise*. But, what if there was a way to get up there? What if its just another hunt?

There is one specific npc in the rift that mentions the mountaintop heavilly: Tel Kar. An alternate version of our beloved Tal Ker in the dwarven mines. He is in front of the bridge leading to the black lagoon and people can access him if they have 2.30m+ of rift time.
This beloved fella firsty asks us a question whether we know anything about the rift dimension. Then after guessing we got through a portal, this npc describes us that he is trapped because he got here by a breach. Whilst that dialogue, some words are colored, leading to more clues perhaps

Then, he starts developing his knowledge in short dialogue for us to be informed. But its clear, he tells us his own theory about the rift and how to tame the breaches that led him here.
In short, the NPC immediatly tells us something key

Ok, the answer is on top of the rift
Because of boredom reasons, ill describe the rest of his sayings
We are being told about the 3 dimensions, x,y and z that are valid accross both dimensions. But,

two more appeal for the mountaintop

Being TIME and RANDOMESS
It is said that we can interact with the space-time continuum here in the rift, leading to a very specific detail of my theory
And randomness, well he says that the mountain is very far than it seams and also, there is a special distortion regarding that
I'll describe now the true theory of mine regarding time and randomness
Time:
There is 1 special entity that roams the rift with a time-related name, the Temporal Pilar, with temporal the time word(for example temporary)
Now, this is a very weird entity, having the ability to completely wipe out your time by sending you to the Minecraft Credits screen and soon after tping to the wizard portal at hub. Not only that, but it has 10000 hp and is fully unkillable. Now this, reflects upon the 5th dimension, randomness, since I myself, after stupidly touching it, wondered why is that thing here and what about its weird name, compared to other entities. It serves no purpose but to steal peoples grand experiences or bits.
So, what if we start searching for the use of this thing?

But, this doesnt really explain whats about the admin requirment. We cant just drag a temporal pilar, if its even possible, up to the mountaintop, and see nothing happening.
I have 2 more and final assumptions
#1, there is an admin npc at the base of the mountain, where the Guy npc usually is. A minikloon in dark colors starts acting crazy about wires, but thats not the point. Its an admin, so he could go up the mountaintop. Also, he seems close to the Plaza, so that could be a hint that we could easilly drag one of those things up there
#2 (and ill shut up) What if we tried to replicate the breach the Tel Kar told us he got there? He mentions that its located near the wizard portal, somewhere in the Mountain. Perhaps, another hidden POI, like Jake's lab with plushies from Beth quest, is hidden somewhere, and in there a breach will appear. Since Tal Ker(the real NPC from Dwarven Mines) is a dwarf, what if we searched for some shallow spots? Maybe we will find something

Im more than happy to be able to express my theories here regarding the Mountaintop and I would be very interested to hear other peoples opinions. You can always party me (/p glacialscythenon) or discord me itscombat#4007. I really hope this post gets views, because I feel like this is something important we could be missing.
