A Vaal side area is a randomly-generated optional area indicated by a glowing, beating heart and swirling ribbons of blood. Every corrupted area contains a boss, guarding a Vaal Vessel that drops Vaal Skill Gems, Vaal Fragments, and corrupted equipment. At least one Vaal skill gem is guaranteed to drop. Near the vessel, there is a Vaal Letter or Research Journal, which provides Vaal-related lore.
Vaal side areas have own exclusive set of modifiers, similar to end-game maps, which substantially increase their difficulty. Vaal side areas found in act zones spawn have 1 to 2 affixes (magic), while Vaal side areas found in maps spawn with 4 to 6 affixes (rare). They also have an implicit modifier that adds a number of packs of Corrupted Vaal monsters. Vaal side areas have the Corrupted stat by default making them uncraftable, but the Lucid Dreams Atlas keystone passive causes them to spawn uncorrupted, allowing them to be modified with regular crafting currency.
A variation known as an Alluring Vaal Side Area can be accessed in maps; these add extra implicit modifiers: Vaal Vessel contains Mortal Fragments, 60% more Monster Damage, Monsters in Area are at least MagicUpgradedVaalSideArea
