Guide:Blighted maps | PoE Wiki (1)

This is a guide on the subject of blighted maps.

Last updated on March 27, 2024.

The following guide shows you how to complete a Blighted map encounter. In blighted maps, players have 5 minutes to kill multiple waves of monsters that spawn from fixed portals. These portals appear over the course of time and players are granted power to build towers. Each construction or upgrade of a tower costs a certain amount of power. As you kill enemies, you will earn more power. In this guide you will anoint your Blighted maps with Guide:Blighted maps | PoE Wiki (2)Amber OilAmber OilStack Size: 10

s, that decrease the cost of building and upgrading towers, allowing you to have far more towers.

Strategy

This guide uses the Scout Tower strategy, which is to place down towers that summon powerful flying minions to attack monsters, greatly reducing the amount of damage the player must do. See Blight strategies for advanced methods. This guide is meant for beginners to get started with Blighted maps.

In this strategy, you will be running around and placing Scout Towers at strategic locations and then staying in the center to kill the mini bosses that the towers cannot finish off.

You will need a high level character capable of significant damage output in order to successfully complete this type of map. After mastering the content it is possible to complete blighted maps without attacking yourself, relying only on good tower placement.

Steps

1First anoint your rings to grant Scout Tower minions more damage.

To do this, take your ring to Sister Cassia at your hideout, and within the Anoint Items interface, place your ring along with 2 Guide:Blighted maps | PoE Wiki (5)Amber OilAmber OilStack Size: 10

.

Then press Anoint to add the anoint. Do this for both your rings. You can even anoint Unique rings.

Warning: A rare map with more modifiers provides more rewards, but also greatly increases the difficulty of the map. You will need high damage output or good tower use to complete them.

To prepare your blighted map, first use an Guide:Blighted maps | PoE Wiki (8)Orb of ScouringOrb of ScouringStack Size: 30Removes all modifiers from an itemRight click this item then left click on a magic or rare item to apply it.Guide:Blighted maps | PoE Wiki (9) on it if it is not normal rarity.

After you have defeated at least one normal map, try a magic, rare, or even a corrupted rare map for maximum rewards.

. This reduces the cost of building towers.

More annointing tips are given in this section.

4Now place your annointed Blighted map into your map device and start it.
  • Atlas passive tree has no effect
  • Scarabs have no effect
5The first thing to do is to run to one of the edges/corners of the map and place your Portal there, so you don't accidentally click on the Portal during an intensive fight and lose the encounter.
6Now scout around a map to get a feel of the map layout.
7Click the Ichor Pump near Sister Cassia to begin the blight encounter.

The Purification Pump is the big egg-like structure in the center, which you must defend at all costs.

8Now the Blight encounter has begun. You have 5 minutes to kill multiple waves of enemies and to defend the Purification Pump at all costs.
  • Countdown Timer is shown on the top
  • Monster Portals as well as the type of monsters shown on the bottom
  • Purification Pump Health Bar (durability) is shown on the bottom
  • Power Available for constructing towers is right at the bottom
9The first thing to do is build an Empowering Tower near to the Purification Pump.

This increases your damage against monsters or mini bosses that are almost about to reach the Pump.

  1. To do this, click the Hammer icon nearest the Pump
  2. Click Empowering Tower Mk 1
  3. Click the Gear icon to upgrade it multiple times
10Click Imbuing Tower for the final upgrade to the Empowering Tower which increases your damage while you stand it in.

As you can see the radius of the tower has also greatly increased.

11The first wave of monster portals has appeared.

On the map you can see:

  • Monster Portal icons indicating the spawn points
  • Purification Pump icon indicating the main element to defend
  • Stars show you where to place the Scout Towers
12Run to the first monster portal, and place down a Summoning Tower Mk 1.
13Click the gear icon multiple times to upgrade it.
14For the final upgrade on the Summoning Tower, select Scout Tower (wings icon).
15Next run to one of the junction points where 2 lanes converge, and then place down a Scout Tower over there.
16You know when new Monster Portals spawn if Cassia says:
  • "Its branching, exile!"
  • "The blight is spreading!"
  • "It's put out new mycelium!.. New roots!"

When this happens, you'll see many more Monster Portals appear and many more red dots (monsters) on your map.

The goal is to place down Scout Towers on the junction points so that they can target monsters moving along multiple lanes.

The map shows the recommended locations for Scout Towers with Stars.

17As you can see, monsters on the right are moving upward, so we need to build at least 2 Scout Towers next to the lane to tackle them.

Run around the map placing towers in this way.

If the monsters are breaking through, build more towers in that region. Note that towers may stop working if you move too far away from them.

18When Cassia says any of the following, drop whatever you're doing and immediately return to defend the Pump:
  • "Do not let them reach the purification pump!"
  • "You're making me nervous!"

You will be expected to deal a high amount of single-target damage for the mini bosses that spawn, as the towers may damage them but often fail to kill them.

Constantly return to the center and kill any monsters near the Pump.

19When you have killed all the monsters, the encounter will end and monster drops will appear at the pump.
20Run to the Blight Reward chests and loot them. This is where the primary profit comes from.

The remaining rewards show as icons at the bottom of the screen. Use this to track if you have forgotten to loot any chests.
