Vaal Temple Map is a map area. This map always comes corrupted by default, although it is possible to create an uncorrupted version by vendoring 5 Vaal Temples.

Vaal Temple contains 10 strongbox versions of Vaal Vessels, with each spawning 3 packs of monsters as well as a vaal side area Boss. These Vaal Vessels have additional drops themed around corruption, including Vaal skill gems, corrupted jewels, double corrupted Uniques, corrupted maps, Vaal OrbVaal OrbStack Size: 10Corrupts an item, modifying it unpredictablyRight click this item then left click an item to corrupt it.

Increased effect of modifiers passives on the Atlas passive tree can also scale up the total number of Vaal Vessels generated. However, modifiers to strongbox count will not affect the total number of Vaal Vessels.

As the Vaal Vessel modifier on the map basetype is an implicit modifier, it is retained when the map is randomly rerolled using the Twist of Fate Atlas keystone. This can be used to roll the map into layouts with better divination cards while still retaining the benefits of the strongboxes.

Vaal Temple Map is not part of the Atlas of Worlds. There is no bonus objective for this map. This map can be affected by sextants, witnessed by the Maven, or influenced by the Exarch or Eater.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.18.0	Shaper Guardian and Vaal Temple Maps are now affected by Sextant Modifiers on socketed Voidstones. Vaal Vessels found in the Vaal Temple Map no longer have bonus chances to drop Vaal Temple Maps.
3.17.1	Atlas Passives now affect Shaper Guardian and Vaal Temple Maps.
3.17.0	Vaal Temple is no longer on the Atlas, and is now obtained from corrupting tier 16 Maps. The "Area contains 10 additional guarded Vaal Vessels" implicit modifier on Vaal Temple forces the map to generate with 10 Vaal Vessels. Each of these acts as a Strongbox (spawning 3 packs of monsters as well as a Vaal Side Area Boss). These Vaal Vessels have additional drops themed around corruption. This change will only be present on Vaal Temple Maps found after 3.17.0's release.
3.9.2c	Fixed a bug where Vaal Temple Map could be obtained through the 3 to 1 Map Vendor Recipe.
3.9.0	The Atlas of Worlds has been reworked. You now start at the centre and will work your way outwards as you explore a new storyline.
3.5.0	The Atlas of Worlds has been shuffled. Most maps have changed tier and location within the Atlas.
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	Tier moved from 14 to 16.
1.1.0	Introduced to the game.
