Acton's Nightmare
Acton's Nightmare is a unique Overgrown Shrine Map. The current version has two tiers: T13 or T16
Modifiers
This map has its own unique mods, Restless Dead and Undead Monsters resurrect after 10 seconds (Hidden) . Monsters will come back to life 10 seconds after being killed, unless the corpse is removed by the time it would resurrect, for example by being shattered from cold damage, or by removal from using detonate dead/devouring totem/raise zombie/Inpulsa explosions etc. Killing the bosses also stops them from resurrecting.
The mod Area has patches of Burning Ground
20 patches with Ground Effect per 100 tiles (Hidden)
Ground Effect has a radius of 14 (Hidden) of this map deals 16,000 fire damage per 10 seconds (or 1,600 per second), this does not take into account on player character's fire resistance, as well as other scaling such as Awakening Level of the Atlas.
Encounters
Bosses
- Thorn and Rose, two unique necromancers who can resurrect any monster to life, including each other.

|
| 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.
Unique maps can now drop with varied tiers based on the state of your Atlas. Maps that previously had monster level overrides (such as Hallowed Ground) now instead rely on the variable tier.
|
| 3.5.0 |
The Atlas of Worlds has been shuffled. Most maps have changed tier and location within the Atlas.
(Not in patch notes) The Atlas will now be shuffled every league, unless otherwise stated.
|
| 3.3.0c |
Fixed a bug where '''Acton's Nightmare''' unique map completion was not granted if a boss was revived, unless a boss corpse was detonated.
|
| 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.
