A corrupted area is a randomly-generated side area indicated by a glowing, beating heart and swirling ribbons of blood. Every corrupted area contains a boss guarding a Vaal Vessel that is guaranteed to drop a Vaal Skill Gem or Vaal Fragment. Near the vessel there is a Vaal Letter, which provides Vaal-related lore.
Corrupted areas have modifiers, similar to end-game maps, which substantially increase their difficulty. Since corrupted items cannot be modified after corruption, the modifiers cannot be rerolled.
Due to the small area size of each zone, league mechanics in corrupted zone are usually disabled during each challenge league. Masters, Corrupted Zones & Ascendancy Trials also cannot spawn in Corrupted Zones. Notable exceptions which CAN spawn in Corrupted zones include Silver Coins, Strongboxes, Shrines, Rogue Exiles & Torment Ghosts. Many of the Corrupted zone bosses were also formerly Invasion bosses
It is unknown if Essence monsters can spawn in Corrupted Zones.
