As you explore Wraeclast, you'll occasionally find Vaal-influenced secret areas that are indicated by a glowing, beating heart and swirling ribbons of blood. These corrupted areas have modifiers, similar to end-game maps, which substantially increase their difficulty. At the heart of each corrupted area is a new boss monster, guarding a chest that is guaranteed to drop a Vaal Skill Gem or Vaal Fragment. As corrupted areas require some effort to find and have mods that make them more difficult than normal, you'll often want to invite friends to help you clear the area.

Vaal Letters

  • "What did I say? What did I do? I flattered, I promised, I bared skin and soul to my beloved Atziri. I did everything but offer to die for her. Is that where I went wrong?"
  • "Our Queen has demanded that we look into the gems for our salvation. We see ourselves reflected in those facets, twisted beyond recognition."
  • "A ring. Plated, not even solid silver. That's all I took. Now I'm stuffed full of gems and destined for the block. For palming a wretched, half-crown ring."
