Modifiers

• Area has patches of Burning Ground
  20 patches with Ground Effect per 100 tiles (Hidden)
  Ground Effect has a radius of 14 (Hidden)

This mod deals base 1,600 fire damage per second, this does not take into account player character's fire resistance, as well as other such scaling.

• This map has its own unique mods, Restless Dead and Undead Monsters resurrect after 10 seconds (Hidden). Monsters will come back to life 10 seconds after being killed, unless the corpse is removed by the time it would resurrect, for example by being shattered from cold damage, or by removal from using Detonate Dead/Devouring Totem/Raise Zombie/Inpulsa explosions etc. Killing the bosses also stops them from resurrecting.

Encounters

Bosses

• Thorn and Rose, two unique necromancers who can resurrect any monster to life, including each other.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.15.0	Map tiers and locations have been shuffled (though the "pin" locations for maps have not changed). Most maps are now initially found at a different tier.
3.14.0	(In item filter announcement) There has not been a shuffle of the Atlas for Ultimatum. Map tiers are unchanged from Ritual.
3.13.0	Map tiers and locations have been shuffled (though the 'pin' locations for maps has not changed). Most maps are now initially found at a different tier.
3.12.0	Map tiers and locations have been shuffled (though the 'pin' locations for maps has not changed). Most maps are now initially found at a different tier.
3.11.0	Map tiers and locations have been shuffled (though the 'pin' locations for maps has not changed). Most maps are now initially found at a different tier.
3.9.0	Added a new mechanic - Watchstones: These can only be obtained by defeating one of the new Atlas bosses. They can be used to raise the tier of all maps in a particular region of the Atlas, causing all maps of those base types to drop at the new higher tier. Unique maps can now drop with varied tiers based on the state of your Atlas. Maps that previously had monster level overrides (such as Hallowed GroundHallowed Ground Cemetery MapMap Level: 71 Map Tier: 4 Guild Character: Ð Item Quantity: +100% Item Rarity: +100%Unique Boss drops 3 additional Maps Unique Boss gives 2000% increased Experience 0.5 Flask Charges recovered every 3 seconds +(-2-2) to Monster Level of AreaSome dead have long envied the living. When given the chance, they take from us what they can. So we offer our suffrage. In return, they give only suffering.Travel to this Map by using it in a personal Map Device. Maps can only be used once.) now instead rely on the variable tier.
3.5.0	The Atlas of Worlds has been shuffled. Most maps have changed tier and location within the Atlas. The Atlas will now be shuffled every league, unless otherwise stated. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
3.3.0c	Fixed a bug where Acton's Nightmare unique map completion was not granted if a boss was revived, unless a boss corpse was detonated.
3.1.0	The entire Atlas has been reworked. Many map names have changed, as have their balance, tier and position on the Atlas. Many maps have also had their boss fights swapped or completely reworked. The rules used to generate monsters in endgame maps have been significantly reworked and rebalanced around the rate at which we expect players to reliably clear out the map. In general, narrow, linear maps will contain fewer total monsters than maps with complex layouts. We will be closely monitoring and adjusting the balance of this change and expect to make further changes and improvements over time.
1.1.4	Increased the rewards from Olmec's Sanctum and Acton's Nightmare, to help bring them in line with the rewards gained from other unique maps.
0.11.0d	Fixed an issue where Restless Dead and the music would continue after the deaths of the bosses of Acton's Nightmare.
0.10.7	Introduced to the game.

Layout

This map contains the initial spawn room and four sequentially connected floors. Each floor must be fully cleared to spawn the stairs to the next area.

The second, third, and fourth floors are inspired by the tilesets of the Crypt, the Temple of Atzoatl/Vaal Outpost, and Abyssal Depths/Abyssal City respectively.

Mechanics

Coward's Trial does not benefit from map quality and will not grant additional item quantity. The map can still benefit from the Map DeviceMap DeviceHideout ItemCreates an object in your hideout2 Variations's item quantity mod.

The area level increases by 1 each time the player enters the next area starting from the second floor, up to +3 in the last room.

Each floor contains several waves of monsters, with additional waves of specific types of monsters depending on the modifiers on the map itself. The number of magic and rare monsters increase with every wave, and at the end of every wave a rare Necromancer spawns.. The final wave is the exception to this, where Infector of Dreams is accompanied by monster types that can only appear during the final wave.

Several flavour/hint messages appear in the chat window during the map:

• When a new wave begins: The darkness looms forebodingly...
• When the current room has been fully cleared: The room grows still and quiet...
• When the last room has been fully cleared: The oppressive atmosphere slowly dissipates...

Except the mods Contains waves of Monsters and Contains additional waves of Undead Monsters, the rest of the mods are "optional" which can be rerolled with a Divine OrbDivine OrbStack Size: 20Randomises the values of the random modifiers on an itemRight click this item then left click a magic, rare or unique item to apply it. to switch them "on" or "off" (1 or 0), or dropped naturally as "on" or "off". Thus, the map can have zero additional waves except the base waves of Monsters and waves of Undead Monsters, or have all 7 optional waves (Ghosts, Oriathan Zombies, Phantasms, Raging Spirits, Bone Rhoas, Ravager Maws and Zombies respectively). There are 2^7 = 128 combinations of map mods. The chance to have zero optional waves or all 7 optional waves, were 1/128 respectively, assuming equal chance to roll the mod value as 0 and roll as 1.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.19.0	Lowered the number of Rare and Magic Monsters spawned in The Coward's Trial.
3.14.0	The atlas was not shuffled so that this patch still uses the Ritual map series. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
3.9.0	The Atlas of Worlds has been reworked. You now start at the centre and will work your way outwards as you explore a new storyline. Added a new mechanic - Watchstones: These can only be obtained by defeating one of the new Atlas bosses.

Version history

Maelström of Chaos was originally a waypoint that characters could travel to after reaching the Dark Altar at the top of the Ancient Pyramid in Act 2 on Merciless difficulty and speaking to Eramir. Entering an instance of the Maelström of Chaos would bring the character to a random high level area. This served as Path of Exile's first endgame system before maps were introduced during the Closed Beta in version 0.9.11.

Maelström of Chaos was introduced to the game as a unique map in version 0.10.3.

Version	Changes
3.14.2b	Fixed a bug where monsters in the Maelström of Chaos unique map were incorrectly reflecting Marks.
3.12.0	The map now has Monsters Reflect Hexes mod and affects all versions. However, due to bug, the map still reflects Mark. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
3.9.0	The Atlas of Worlds has been reworked. You now start at the centre and will work your way outwards as you explore a new storyline. Added a new mechanic - Watchstones: These can only be obtained by defeating one of the new Atlas bosses. They can be used to raise the tier of all maps in a particular region of the Atlas, causing all maps of those base types to drop at the new higher tier. Unique maps can now drop with varied tiers based on the state of your Atlas. Maps that previously had monster level overrides (such as Hallowed GroundHallowed Ground Cemetery MapMap Level: 71 Map Tier: 4 Guild Character: Ð Item Quantity: +100% Item Rarity: +100%Unique Boss drops 3 additional Maps Unique Boss gives 2000% increased Experience 0.5 Flask Charges recovered every 3 seconds +(-2-2) to Monster Level of AreaSome dead have long envied the living. When given the chance, they take from us what they can. So we offer our suffrage. In return, they give only suffering.Travel to this Map by using it in a personal Map Device. Maps can only be used once.) now instead rely on the variable tier.
3.5.0	The Atlas of Worlds has been shuffled. Most maps have changed tier and location within the Atlas. As part of this Atlas shuffle, many maps have been reviewed with the goal of bringing their layouts or monster densities up to par with other maps. The Atlas will now be shuffled every league. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
3.3.0d	Incursions can no longer spawn in the Maelström of Chaos unique map.
3.1.0	War for the Atlas map series was introduced
2.4.0	Atlas of Worlds map series was introduced
2.3.0	Fixing a bug where Maelström monsters could get Soul Conduit and other mods which did not work with them.
2.0.0	The Awakening map series was introduced
1.2.4	Fixed a bug where rocks could spawn in the boss room in the Maelstrom of Chaos unique map. Merveil could teleport inside of them and become trapped.
1.2.0	Updated to the new Merveil fight.
0.10.3	Introduced to the game as unique item.
0.9.11	Removed the Maelstrom of Chaos. It has been replaced by our Maps end-game. For more information about Maps, please read the development diary entry on our site.
0.9.5g	Changed all Maelstrom of Chaos levels to be level 58.
0.9.5e	Added the new Ancient Pyramid monsters to the Maelstrom of Chaos.
0.9.5	We're now biasing towards higher item base types extremely strongly for most item types. This means that it's much easier to stay up to date with the current highest item type for each slot. For example, if a bow drops in the Maelstrom of Chaos, there's a ~40% chance that it's the level 58 bow.
0.9.3f	Fixed some more problems with the beach levels
0.9.3e	Reduced the frequency of rare monsters by 20%. Slightly increased the difficulty of monsters
0.9.2b	Removed Mud Flats ambient sounds from all Maelstrom of Chaos areas.
0.9.1	Fixed a crash that occurred if you kill a Shield Crab on level 6-20 of the Maelström of Chaos.
0.8.6	Added a new end-game. After completing Merciless difficulty, you can talk to an Act Two NPC who will give you access to the Maelstrom of Chaos via a waypoint. The Maelstrom is a highly experimental work in progress, and will grow substantially with each patch. There are currently eight different level templates in it.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.17.0	Watchstones are replaced by Voidstones. Any map can be upgraded to T16, including Vaults of Atziri. Map tiers and locations have been shuffled. Most maps are now initially found at a different tier.
3.9.0	Added a new mechanic - Watchstones: These can only be obtained by defeating one of the new Atlas bosses. They can be used to raise the tier of all maps in a particular region of the Atlas, causing all maps of those base types to drop at the new higher tier. Unique maps can now drop with varied tiers based on the state of your Atlas. Maps that previously had monster level overrides (such as Hallowed GroundHallowed Ground Cemetery MapMap Level: 71 Map Tier: 4 Guild Character: Ð Item Quantity: +100% Item Rarity: +100%Unique Boss drops 3 additional Maps Unique Boss gives 2000% increased Experience 0.5 Flask Charges recovered every 3 seconds +(-2-2) to Monster Level of AreaSome dead have long envied the living.
