Whakawairua Tuahu (pronunciation) is a unique Strand MapStrand MapMap Level: 70
Map Tier: 3
Guild Character: 8Travel to this Map by using it in a personal Map Device. Maps can only be used once..

Whakawairua Tuahu is in the current map series (Keepers) for the Atlas of Worlds.

Layout

The map is divided into 2 large areas and 1 boss arena. The first area, the one the player spawns in, is similar to Strand MapStrand MapMap Level: 70
Map Tier: 3
Guild Character: 8Travel to this Map by using it in a personal Map Device. Maps can only be used once.. The second area, accessed via a red portal found in the first region, is similar in style to the Ship Graveyard from Act I, and the boss arena is located in a cave entrance much like The Ship Graveyard Cave.

The Boss arena features an Ancient Seal (similar to the one that unleashes the darkness in the Vaal Ruins of Act 2). Interacting with the Seal spawns the Shade boss(es).

Note, it is advisable to finish the first area before moving on to the second via the teleporter, as there is no way to return to the first area other than by logging out or dying and respawning from the portal. The boss arena cannot be exited until all bosses are defeated.

Mechanics

While inside the map area, a modifier called Creeping Darkness is applied on all players:

Light Radius, Item Rarity and Item Quantity decays over time, and is increased by kills.

Killing monsters will grant a temporary invisible buff that increases in light radius (and consequentially player IIR and player IIQ) based on the rarity of the enemy:

Creeping Darkness scaling
Monster Rarity	Light Radius	IIQ	IIR
Normal	5%	5%	10%
Magic	15%	15%	30%
Rare	25%	25%	50%
Unique	100%	100%	200%

These bonuses are capped at 100% increased Light Radius, 100% increased Quantity, and 200% increased Rarity from kills and decays at a rate of 5%/5%/10% per second. The bonuses do not decay past the IIR/IIQ of your character excluding these buffs.

Sources of increased or reduced Light Radius from items also linearly apply an increase or decrease of IIQ and IIR at the same ratios of 1:1:2 which are not affected by the decaying buff.^[1] It is also not affected by the 100/100/200% cap, meaning that it is possible to stack light radius to maintain very high IIQ/IIR stats in the map.

Blind does not decrease item rarity or item quantity as it does not actually affect light radius' numerical value.

Encounters

Boss

A boss monster is spawned for every player in the party, depending on their class.
