Malformation Map is a map area.

Malformation Map does not exist in the current map series (Necropolis) for the Atlas of Worlds. In permanent leagues, an existing Malformation Map can be used in the Map DeviceMap DeviceHideout ItemCreates an object in your hideout2 Variations, but it cannot be influenced by the Eldritch Horrors or witnessed by The Maven. There is no bonus objective for this map. It can be converted to a map from the current series by selling it to a vendor.

Layout

Malformation is using Belly tileset (The Belly of the Beast Level 1, The Belly of the Beast Level 2 and The Harvest of Act 4). Linear tunnel divided into four separate passages connected by interactive tunnels (five, if the monster-free entrance area is counted). It is possible to fire projectiles through certain walls where the passages are close to each other.

Boss room: The boss is in a separate room, together with a pack of magic monsters.

Encounters

Boss

Nightmare Manifest, based on Piety, the Abomination of Act 4

• Cleave
• Ball Lightning that lingers upon reaching destination
• Spawn Floating Eyes
• Spinning Beam deals massive Lightning damage and inflicts Corrupted Blood If it does not one-shot you it also inflicts a powerful Physical Bleed they must be instantly removed.

As this fight is mechanical it is usually not too bad. However, it becomes extremely dangerous with map mods like double boss, boss attack/cast speed or multiple projectiles.

3.21.0	The following Maps have been added back to the Atlas: Arid Lake, Armoury, Barrows, Beach, Belfry, Cells, Chateau, Conservatory, Core, Crystal Ore, Desert Spring, Dig, Excavation, Fields, Flooded Mine, Fungal Hollow, Geode, Jungle Valley, Lighthouse, Malformation, Marshes, Pit, Racecourse, Ramparts, Relic Chambers, Scriptorium, Siege, Stagnation, Tower, Tropical Island, Waste Pool, and Wharf.
3.18.0	The following Maps have been removed from the Atlas: Ancient City, Arachnid Nest, Belfry, Channel, Colosseum, Conservatory, Coves, Defiled Cathedral, Dig, Estuary, Flooded Mine, Forbidden Woods, Forking River, Ghetto, Graveyard, Haunted Mansion, Iceberg, Malformation, Phantasmagoria, Shipyard, Shrine, Silo, Stagnation, and Vault.
3.9.0	Added a new mechanic - Watchstones: These can only be obtained by defeating one of the new Atlas bosses. They can be used to raise the tier of all maps in a particular region of the Atlas, causing all maps of those base types to drop at the new higher tier.
3.5.0	The Atlas of Worlds has been shuffled. Most maps have changed tier and location within the Atlas. The Atlas will now be shuffled (almost) every 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. In general, narrow, linear maps will contain fewer total monsters than maps with complex layouts. We will be closely monitoring and adjusting the balance of this change and expect to make further changes and improvements over time.
2.4.0	The map drop rules have been changed so that connected maps and maps you've previously completed can drop from the area you're playing. As you progress towards the center of the Atlas from the four corners, the tier of maps increases.
