In Path of Exile: Scourge, you must fill the Blood Crucible with the blood of your enemies then shift into an alternate Wraeclast where an apocalyptic event rages, in order to slay powerful demons and craft potent items...
A mysterious figure appears out of nowhere, trying to escape from something you can't see. She hands you a rusty-looking device called the Blood Crucible and urges you to implant it into your body.
The Blood Crucible fills with the blood of monsters you slay. Once it reaches a certain threshold, you're able to activate the device. This will instantly thrust you into a parallel reality, an alternate Wraeclast overrun by demons known as The Scourge. The more blood you have collected, the longer you can stay shifted into the parallel Wraeclast. But the longer you stay, the more damage you'll take.
Path of Exile Scourge league official webpage
Scourge league, also known as Path of Exile: Scourge, is a challenge league. It was launched on October 22, 2021 (UTC), alongside the Version 3.16.0 patch.
In this league, you are given a Blood Crucible to slot into your character. With it, you can charge up the device by slaying monsters in the area. Once it's sufficiently charged, you can activate to instantly shift into an alternate realm, overrun by monsters of the Scourge. You can shift into the nightmare realm multiple times, but the more corruption you absorb, the more dangerous it becomes.
You can also hold items in the Blood Crucible to gather up corruption from Scourge monsters. Once you gather enough corruption on it, you can Scourge the item to transform the item and corrupt it, giving it one positive and one negative Scourge implicit modifiers. You can Scourge an item multiple times if you want to get new corruption outcomes. Killing Scourge monsters also grants experience points towards the Crucible skill tree, which can enhance Scourge corruption outcomes.
Scourge monsters also drop corrupted currency items, which can only used on corrupted items to modify them.
