Torture Chamber Map example layout

Boss Arena

The arena is a large chamber with four columns in the middle and small bodies of water in the corners. There's often an additional pack of monsters along with the usual magic monsters. Entrance seals when the boss is engaged.

Boss

Shock and Horror, a unique Sea Witch with the following abilities:

• Casts Lightning Beam.
• Casts Spark.
• Summons 5 Lightning Warp totems.
• Summons Spawns in the corners of the arena.
• Has Wrath aura.

Strategy

Shock and Horror is one of the most notorious map bosses due to her signature lightning beam attack, which is estimated to deal upwards of 4000 lightning damage per second as damage over time. To stop the beam you will need to put one of the four pillars in the room between yourself and the boss, at which point the beam will stop and enter a 20 second cooldown.

Less famous but comparably dangerous are the totems, which deal great damage, create shocked ground on arrival, have a tendency to all strike at once, and are quickly recast by Shock and Horror if destroyed. They disappear when Shock and Horror dies. Shock and Horror will occasionally summon spawn from the corners of the room, which generally do little damage. The spawn do grant flask charges so you can hang back and use these to refill if you are short.

Shock and Horror does also cast but the damage is negligible.

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.
