Desert Map is a map area.

Desert Map is in the current map series (Settlers) for the Atlas of Worlds.

Layout

The map area is similar to The Vastiri Desert of Act 9.

It is mostly linear, but has some dead ends. The boss appears when a special chest surrounded by pillars (similar to the Storm Blade chest in The Vastiri Desert) is activated.


Encounters

Boss

Preethi, Eye-Pecker is based on Kira, Servant of Garukhan, but the overall encounter is more similar to the The Storm Blade quest.

Melee attacks with a spear, can fire a ranged projectile going in a straight line and calls some stationary tornados doing physical degen damage. Is supported by undead melee fighters rushing the player in waves and golems spawning in the gaps of the pillar circle, throwing rocks at the player.

  • The atlas shuffled and introduced new map series in every new league. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
3.1.0
  • The entire Atlas has been reworked. Many map names have changed, as have their balance, tier and position on the Atlas. Many maps have also had their boss fights swapped or completely reworked.
  • The rules used to generate monsters in endgame maps have been significantly reworked and rebalanced around the rate at which we expect players to reliably clear out the map.
