Covens

In the Covens Challenge League, you will encounter wicked covenites performing gruesome rites to summon their Queen, seeking to plunge the world into unending darkness.

Defeat them to divine the future of Wraeclast and try to bend its fate to your will.

Decide Your Fate

Upon disrupting the Coven's magicks, you will get to select a Fate for the boss of the area you're in. Each Fate has a handful of effects, increasing both the rewards and difficulty of the encounter.

A fully empowered boss can be quite a threatening fight, but the tantalising rewards of each Fate you invoke will surely make it worthwhile.

Construct your Wickerman

The twisted witchcraft of the Coven allows you to put the remains of your fallen enemies to use by placing them on your own Wickerman. Obtain Viscera from a defeated boss empowered by Fates to claim a scrap of their power for your own.

Every boss in the campaign, as well as every boss on a map in the Atlas, has a unique Viscera to be obtained. Be sure to collect the Fates before defeating them so you don't miss out!

The Grim Fate

The influence of the Coven Queen can reach even the deepest memories of the Atlas. Grim Fates allow you to empower the most difficult bosses within the Atlas.

Take on these threats, and you’ll be rewarded with the greatest of trophies, Pinnacle Boss Viscera.

The Coven Queen

Perhaps... you'll even be able to hold back the Queen herself.

Introducing Threads of Creation

Scarabs are being removed and replaced by a new system, Threads of Creation.

Set directly in the Map device, Threads apply a chosen league mechanic to the area, while scaling the rarity and difficulty of monsters. For each thread spent, you'll increase the chances of random powerful effects augmenting that league mechanic!

Atlas Tree Overhaul

The Atlas passive tree has been completely refreshed, with a new layout, and dozens of entirely new wheels, stats, and effects - many of which were previously on Scarabs that you can now guarantee.

Improvements to Existing Leagues

Explore even more endgame improvements! In Covens of Umbra, almost every endgame league mechanic has been augmented, modified, or revamped in some way.

Mirage to Core

Mirages have returned, with a chance to spawn randomly in Maps - or as a rollable Map modifier along with other mechanics like Mirrors of Delirium or the Viridian Wildwood. Mirages now cover the entire map, effectively allowing you to run the entire map again.

Saresh is also returning, but be warned he has become a far more challenging fight…

Beyond

Slaying Beyond Bosses no longer stops monster Beyond portals from spawning.

Sometimes when you defeat a Beyond boss, they'll open a portal to their realm. What demonic terrors lie within...

Harvest

The Sacred Grove no longer appears in Maps, instead being replaced with tangled roots. You can even use currency on them to add modifiers.

Kill the monsters that sprout from the roots to gain Lifeforce and spread Wildwood Wisps througout the area.

Expedition

Gwennen now offers an entirely new service, but her gambling days are far from over. She just gambles on your items now!

Incursion

Atziri has moved into the Temple of Atzoatl, kicking out the Vaal Omnitect, and she has made several adjustments.

Take on the Uber Temple of Atzoatl, greatly increasing the difficulty and reward of all rooms in the Temple. If you're lucky Atziri might even drop a Soul Core.

Massive Loot Rework

In this expansion, we’re making fundamental changes to how loot drops in Path of Exile, unlike anything we’ve done before.

At endgame, unidentified Magic and Rare items can now drop with a tier, improving all aspects of the item. So you can now distinguish exactly which items are worth picking up and identifying!

In addition, rarity on Maps and monsters now improves all types of drops, so you will be seeing more valuable currency and unique items from the ground when running difficult content.

New Unique Items

And of course, as with any of our releases, new Unique items have made their way to Wraeclast with this expansion.
