Blighted maps are versions of existing maps but without any native monsters. Instead, these maps have a difficult Blight encounter.
The map will always have an alternative map icon, as well as these implicit modifiers:
- Area is infested with Fungal Growths
- Natural inhabitants of this area have been removed
Regular Blight encounters in map have a chance to drop a Blighted version of a map. Blighted maps only contain a small area with no enemies and a single Fungal Growth that spawns dozens of roots. The player must defend the pump for 5 minutes, then defeat all remaining enemies. Players get extended prep time and pump durability (health) is increased to 20.
Differences from regular maps:
- Unlike regular maps, Blighted maps can also be annointed, adding a variety of unique modifiers, including extra experience and significant boosts to rewards.
- Unlike regular maps, the Blighted map rarity does not affect the reward chests, instead players must annoint the Blighted map with

Oil Tier: 9Can be combined with other Oils at Cassia to Enchant Rings or Amulets, or to modify Blighted Maps.which provides a "Lucky" modifier to a fixed number of Blight reward chests
- Players can craft the map into Magic or Rare rarities, but it is not recommended as it greatly increases the difficulty of combat and only affects the central drop, which is not a significant part of the rewards. Therefore, running a Blighted map in Normal rarity provides for the easiest combat.
- Blighted maps cannot be used with map fragments such as scarabs. The map fragments will not be consumed even if players place them into the Map Device.
- Watchstone modifiers and sextants have no effect on Blighted maps
If you fail the blight encounter, it will not count as a map completion.
Strategy
Blighted maps have a large amount of enemies and a large amount of resources for tower building. The same strategies that work on smaller Blights in maps will be useful, but more tower building and killing will be involved.
Recommendations
The following is recommended:
- A ranger or spellcaster build or any build that can do high amounts of area damage (melee builds using Cyclone without Cast-on-Crit will find it hard)
- At least 2 million damage per second (rolling over your main attack ability should show 100K+, because Path of Exile cannot calculate DPS properly)
- A method to increase damage against Rare and Unique mini bosses (such as Assassin's Mark for crit-builds, or Sigil of Power for lightning-builds)
- Capped elemental resistances (fire, cold and lightning resistance at 75%)
- At least 5,000 Effective hit points (Life pool)
- At least 20% block or evade chance, or Mana before Life defenses
- A strict loot filter that filters out most of the inexpensive loot

Sister Cassia can annoint your blighted map to increase the ease of combat, and/or to increase rewards. It is easy to self-sustain oils for these annointments because blighted maps provide a large number of oils.
Annointing tips are as follows:
