In the Archnemesis league, you'll build your own Rare boss fights by applying new monster modifiers to petrified monsters, found throughout every area.

Archnemesis League is a challenge league. It was launched on February 4, 2022 (UTC), alongside the Siege of the Atlas expansion and Version 3.17.0 patch.

League Mechanic

In this league, players can build their own rare boss fights by applying new Archnemesis modifiers to petrified monsters, found throughout every area. These modifiers add dangerous behaviours to their targets but also imbue them with valuable rewards.

Up to 4 (on average 2) itemised modifiers drop from regular magic and rare monsters in each area starting from The Coast. Areas spawn more petrified monsters than needed and can be imbued with 3-4 modifiers depending on area level. Each subsequent Archnemesis modified within an area keeps all of the previous modifiers applied, allowing players to build some extremely difficult and rewarding encounters. Modifiers can be combined in special recipes to create more powerful modifiers. There are over 60 Archnemesis mods and more than 35 recipes.
