Layout

Instead of containing randomly spawned monsters as in most other maps, the Hall of Grandmasters includes other exiles based on characters of players who purchased a Grandmaster supporter pack.

The map consists of a foyer with several large doorways. Between each door is a hall of 50 grandmasters, separated by forcefields so you fight waves of 5 at a time. Currently there are 4 halls (Hall of the Heroes, Hall of the Eternal, Hall of the Fallen, and Hall of the Twisted), making 200 Grandmasters or 40 waves in the map. The waves are randomly organised by approximate difficulty and get progressively harder.

At the end of each hall there is a unique Strongbox called Grandmaster's Cache that does not spawn monsters when opened.

According to the development plan, "Grandmasters using Vaal Skills will gain one Vaal Soul per skill every five seconds. It's currently possible to encounter Tormented Spirits in the map. You will not encounter Strongboxes (other than those at the end of each hall) or Rogue Exiles." However currently Grandmasters generate 2 Vaal souls every second.

See here for a list of Grandmasters.

Strategy

Some of the grandmasters have extremely high block chance, and are equipped with items such as legacy Aegis Aurora in order to return very high amounts of Life/ES upon each block. It is recommended to use Damage Over Time on these enemies. In particular, Scorching Ray (such as the level 25 Scorching Ray granted by Balefire) can lower the very high resistance of certain grandmasters and kill them without triggering their on-hit defences. Block Chance Reduction SupportBlock Chance Reduction SupportSupport, Duration

Supported Skills inflict Overpowered for 4 seconds when Blocked

Due to the way PvP damage scaling works, minions such as Spectres and Animate Guardian are extremely vulnerable in this map. They can be instantly killed by some grandmasters even with 50000+ Life and multiple defensive links such as Minion Life Support, Meat Shield Support, and Elemental Army support. It is recommended to deactivate your Animate Guardian so you do not lose any expensive items equipped to it.
