Valdo's Puzzle Box is an item which contains a random tier 17 foil Valdo's Map created by players who have purchased the Sandwraith Assassin Supporter Pack. Completing the map rewards the player with a foil unique item.

Mechanics

  • All Valdo's Maps are tier 17 (area level 84) and are not considered part of the Atlas of Worlds. It does not grant completion on the Atlas for the named map on map completion. In the Map Stash Tab, they are stored in the same tab as guardian maps.
  • Upon completing the map a Singular Reliquary spawns on the map, which contains the foil reward. Map completion requires the fulfilment of all of the following conditions:
    • Kill all rare and unique enemies in the map.
    • Kill at least 90% of all magic and normal enemies in the map.
    • Complete any additional objectives required from the map's modifiers.
  • Valdo's Maps are not affected by the Atlas passive skill tree and cannot be modified with currency items. They cannot have master missions, map fragments, or map crafting options added to them via the map device.
  • The difficulty of the modifiers affects the chance for that specific map to be chosen when opening a Valdo's Puzzle Box.

Modifiers

Valdo's Maps have several unique modifiers instead of the typical random modifiers maps can roll. The following are a couple notable examples:

  • Gain Instability on Kill, Unstable Players eventually detonate: Each enemy killed grants the player a stack of Instability for 4 seconds. The duration refreshes whenever you gain a stack of Instability. If the duration reaches 0, the player takes damage based on the current number of Instability stacks when the effect expires.
  • Players who Die in area are sent to the Void: On death, the player character is permanently dead and sent to the Void league, even on softcore leagues. Voided characters can no longer be accessed in-game.
  • Players are assaulted by many dangerous Apparitions: This includes apparitions of The Shaper, Atziri, all four Conquerors, and Sirus. Apparitions cannot be damaged or targeted directly.
  • Area is inhabited by Kitava's Heralds: Monsters in the area are replaced by Kitava's Heralds, and the map contains several Heart of the Insatiable that spawn several Kitava's Heralds when damaged.

Item acquisition

Valdo's Puzzle Box has restrictions on where or how it can drop. Can drop in Tier 11+ Maps.

Version history

Version Changes
3.23.0c
  • Valdo's Puzzle Boxes are now allocated based on the item allocation option selected, rather than always allocating to the Map owner.
3.23.0b
  • Introduced the Valdo's Puzzle Box. It currently has 345 options for foiled Tier 17 Valdo's Maps that it can yield. We are still working through the list of submissions from Sandwraith Assassin Supporters to get the others in as soon as possible.
  • Valdo's Maps are considered "cleared" when you have completed the Map, killed all Rare and Unique Monsters, and killed 90% of the total number of Monsters in the area.
