Map

✍️This article is a stub. Please help improve the article by expanding it.

Maps are endgame areas generated by using a waystone on a specific map node on the Atlas. Maps contain randomized monsters and layouts but use a fixed tileset.

Mechanics

Certain maps may contain a unique map boss; this is indicated on the Atlas itself. Map completion requires killing all rare monsters in the map, as well as map bosses if one is present. An indicator appears pointing to the location of rare monsters in the area after only 200 monsters or less are remaining.

The area level of the map and consequentially the level of monsters and items found are determined by the tier of waystone used to open the map; areas that are Irradiated or affected by Corruption (Beyond) each adds +1 to area level. The modifiers rolled on the waystone are added as area modifiers.

Maps when opened generate 6 portals at the Map Device. Each time a player enters a portal, it is permanently consumed. A player (or each player in a party) may manually enter and exit the map through the portal freely, but dying in a map will prevent re-entry. A failed map can be re-attempted with a new waystone, but it will no longer have additional encounters including map bosses, or modifiers from Precursor Tablets. Completed maps cannot be reattempted.

Version history

Version	Changes
0.1.1	Added 4 new Tower Map areas: Alpine Ridge, Bluff, Mesa, and Sinking Spire. The Lost Towers Map area has also been revamped. Added checkpoints to Map areas. Map areas now contain a minimum of 3 Rare Monsters. Maps now display their Biome when hovered in the Atlas UI. Map areas have been adjusted to have more distinct specialities for the content they contain. For example, one Map area might have more total number of monsters, while another is more likely to contain additional content such as Strongboxes, Essences or Shrines. Generally speaking, the more difficult a Map is to clear, or the smaller it is, the more axes it will specialise in. Here's an overview of changes we've made to give Maps more discernibility: A number of Maps now spawn up to double the number of Chests, and twice as many minimum Magic or Rare Chests. A number of Maps now contain up to double the number of Monsters. A number of Maps now contain 50% more Magic Monsters. A number of Maps now contain 50% more Rare Monsters. A number of Maps now have a higher minimum number of Rare Monsters you will encounter. A number of Maps now have a lower minimum number of Rare Monsters you will encounter. A number of Maps now have 50% more chance to contain Essences. A number of Maps now have 50% more chance to contain Strongboxes. A number of Maps now have 50% more chance to contain Shrines. Maps that are only exclusively found in Biomes containing Citadels now have 50% more chance to contain Essences, Strongboxes and Shrines. Unclaimed Hideout Areas now have substantially more Magic Monsters, and fewer Rare Monsters. Monsters in the Untainted Paradise have been breeding. Untainted Paradise now contains 100% more Monsters, of which spawn 100% more (thus quadruple) Magic and Rare Monsters.
0.1.0e	Maps no longer have additional elemental resistance penalties inherently applied at Tier 6 and Tier 11 or higher Maps. It is now consistent across all of the Endgame. Packs of Prowling Chimeral's in Maps now contain less of the Prowling Chimerals and spawn alongside some Zombies.
0.1.0c	Rare Monsters in Map areas are now revealed on the minimap when there are 200 Monsters remaining (previously 50). (Not in patch note) Many maps have had additional rare monsters added to them to make sure that there are a minimum number in every map type.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
