Corruption

Contains Corruption, which may add an additional modifier to the area. Additionally, the Area has +1 to Monster Level.

Corrupted Areas cause slain monsters to Coalesce Corruption to manifest powerful monsters.

Coalesced Corruption, also known as simply Corruption or Beyond, is a type of map encounter that appears in areas affected by corruption. Monsters slain close together in these areas have a chance to merge together and manifest more powerful monsters.

Mechanics

Corrupted areas are more likely to have modifiers. These modifiers are removed if the corruption encounter is removed from a map, such as through failing a map.

Defeating Beyond monsters has a chance to spawn stronger and higher rarity monsters. Each map can have one of three specific Beyond factions.

Corrupted Nexus

Several maps with Coalesced Corruption will surround a map indicated as a Corrupted Nexus. The Corrupted Nexus will always contain a Beyond boss. In order to access a Corrupted Nexus, a waystone with at least 4 modifiers must be used.

Completing the Corrupted Nexus map will cause all nearby maps with Coalesced Corruption to become cleansed maps instead, causing different monsters to appear.

After completing a Corrupted Nexus of an appropriate waystone tier, Doryani will provide you a Crystalline Shard which can be used to gain points for the Atlas Passive Tree as part of the endgame progression system.

Version history

Version	Changes
0.2.0	Areas of Corruption on the Atlas now have a central Corrupted Nexus that is the source of the affliction. In the areas leading to the Nexus, Corruption will spill out from slain enemies and amalgamate into powerful monsters. Upon reaching the Nexus you will begin the task of cleansing the source of Corruption. Complete this task and receive Crystalline Shards that you can use to obtain Atlas Passive Skill points. A Boss for each faction has been added, these appear in the Corrupted Nexus. Additional Corruption Monster factions have also been introduced. Corruption Monsters have had their visuals and animations improved, and their skills have been rebalanced. Corruption areas no longer implicitly have +1 to Area Level but now are much more likely to have modifiers, and the modifiers can be more powerful. Some new Corruption modifiers have also been added. Cleansing a Nexus will cause surrounding Maps to become Cleansed Maps which have their own set of Monsters and rewards, including the newly introduced Fracturing Orb. In order to open a Corrupted Nexus Map, the Waystone placed in the Map Device will need to have at least 4 modifiers.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
