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]].

Corrupted areas have [[modifiers]], similar to end-game [[map]]s, which substantially increase their difficulty. Since corrupted items cannot be modified after corruption, the modifiers cannot be rerolled.

A Vaal side area

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. The Hidden Vaal PathwaysHidden Vaal PathwaysAncient foes open new paths to the land they left barren.You will enter a hidden Vaal area that contains powerful enemies.Right-click to add this prophecy to your character. prophecy will guarantee a corrupted area be spawned.

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 of each zone, league mechanics are generally disabled from spawning in corrupted zones during challenge leagues. Masters, more corrupted zones & Ascendancy Trials also cannot spawn in Corrupted Zones. Notable exceptions which CAN spawn in them include Silver Coins, Strongboxes, Shrines, Rogue Exiles & Torment Ghosts. Many of the Corrupted zone bosses were also formerly Invasion bosses

Vaal fragments can be used in the Map Device to generate a random Vaal side area.
