Map:Desert Spring Map (War for the Atlas)

Desert Spring Map (War for the Atlas) is a map area.

Layout

The map tileset is based on The Oasis in Act 9. The layout is open, with a small body of water in the middle surrounded by trees. There are some leftover campgrounds acting as obstacles. The boss arena is located at the far end of the map in relative position to the start.

Encounters

Boss

The Terror of the Infinite Drifts, based on the Shakari, Queen of the Sands fight in Act 9. After reducing the boss's HP to about 2/3rd's, she burrows under the sand, forcing the player to follow her in a narrow walkway filled with quicksand and spawning scorpions while her tail attacks you with Sunder, ultimately leading her to the new boss arena, which is also filled with quicksand.

Her attacks include:

• Burrowing under the ground and unburrowing shortly afterwards
• charging and unleashing a large AoE attack that deals massive damage
• swiping her tail in large cleave around her, granting a debuff to the player that creates purple poison clouds around the player

In Phase Two she can also:

• Perform multiple burrows and unburrows in a row
• Burrow and become untargetable while her tail uses Sunder

Version history

Version

Changes

3.1.0

Added 32 new maps including two new Unique maps. 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.
