The following dungeon areas have been added/changed in Path of Diablo.

What is a Map?

• A map is an end-game area in Path of Diablo. There are a variety of different maps using tilesets from the original game. Maps are vast in scale compared to the original Diablo II areas. They are dangerous high level areas that players can farm as an alternative to the original areas of Diablo II. These areas add further replayability to the original Diablo II.
• They offer increased experience compared to traditional farming areas while still giving high level loot.
• Maps also promote build diversity by offering different combinations of monsters with damage-type immunities (physical and or elemental), in varying densities.
• In a way that should be somewhat familiar to Path of Exile players, these areas can be accessed by using a series of new special items called "Relics".
• All enemies in level 85+ areas have a chance to drop a map relic.

• The map relic will disappear once it's been opened.

• Map affixes can be modified or be made into a higher tier. White maps can be dropped from monsters outside of maps. Yellow and Red tier maps can only drop from inside maps.

Requirements and How to enter maps

• Identified map.

• You need to be in Hell mode with a minimum character level of 80.

• Done the Ancients (Rite of Passage) quest.

• To enter a map, the player must place it on the altar in Malah's shop in Harrogath. The map is consumed and makes a red portal to the map.

The Tiers of Maps

White Maps

Yellow Maps

Red Maps

Corrupted Maps

• Map orientation may be rotated when compared to the layouts presented.

How to Modify a Map

There are a few ways to modify a map. Players using a specific build can modify a map to suit their skills.

By corrupting a map players may gain additional experience, monster density and gold and magic find. Though these benefits usually come with stronger monsters, so adventeurers should be wary!

Recipes:

Re-rolling a maps' affixes

In the Horadric Cube transmute 6 Perfect Skulls + map. This modifies the map, for a chance to get a preferrable set of affixes.

How to corrupt a map:

In the Horadric Cube transmute an Orb of Corruption + map to produce a corrupted map.

In the Horadric Cube transmute a White Corrupted map + 3 Perfect Gems for a chance to make into a Yellow map.

Further Notes:

A corrupted map won't have its location or tier changed, except Pleasant Pasture, which can be turned into a Yellow map.

You can corrupt maps for a chance to get the +200% Magic Find and Gold Find affix or change the map completely to a Pleasant Pasture.

We don't have a definitive rate for either as of 8/30/2020.

3-4% (8 of 250) is the current best estimate for corrupting to get the Magic Find and Gold Find affix on Pleasant Pasture.

Additional Map Information

• Even with a strong party and powerful items it may easily take 20+ minutes.

• Consider the server reset time before creating one.

• Only one map can be opened per game. The red portal next to the altar will stay even if the person who opened it leaves.

• On entering a map there's a one-way waypoint that can access Act 5 waypoints (or any waypoint? currently unsure). There's no way to return to this waypoint except through the red portal.

• The colour of a map indicates its difficulty. White maps should be slightly challenging for a single player. Yellow maps should be a moderate challenge for a few players. Red maps should be a hard challenge for a full party.

• Currently, Musty Crypt and Desecrated Temple have no boss. There isn't a guaranteed relic drop in these maps.
