Challenge: Temporal Detour

  • Complete Temples of Atzoatl x20

Mechanics: Incursion league.

Note: usingChronicle of Atzoatl Chronicle of Atzoatl does not count as completing this challenge. You must open the Temple of Atzoatl yourself.

Alva, Master Explorer (real name Alva Valai )is a master. She gives the player access to incursions, followed by the Temple of Atzoatl once enough incursions are completed. Players can encounter Alva from act 7 onwards.

Alva can spawn in three different locations in a zone where she can be found. Speak to her and complete the incursion in each location.

The Temple of Atzoatl is a large dungeon area. The layout and contents of the temple change depending on the player's incursions. After 12 temporal incursions, Alva Valai will have narrowed down the present-day location of the Temple of Atzoatl. Each type of room in the temple has its own modifiers, risks and rewards.

The Temple of Atzoatl quick guide

  1. First complete 12 incursions by talking to Alva within the acts or in maps. Then talk to her to view the temple layout.
  2. Click the Open Temple button to spawn 6 portals to the temple around your Map Device. Enter any portal.
  3. Run north to the entrance, and navigate north-west (up-left) to reach the boss room. The image depicts an open door that can be passed through.

    These are doors that you unlocked using the Stone of Passage during previous incursions.

  4. At some point you may come across a container that holds a Flashpowder Keg.

    This keg is very valuable and must be saved to open a blocked passage to the boss room (if it is blocked). Do not use it on mundate blocked doors as you may get only 1 in an entire temple, if any.

  5. At some point you may come across blocked doors. These are passages that you did not manage to open using the Stone of Passage.

    Just backtrack, and find another way to reach the room.

  6. As you can see in this map, the only passage leading to the boss arena is blocked and thus we have to blast our way through.
  7. You can now use the Flashpowder Keg to blast our way through and enter the boss arena.
  8. Before entering the boss room, spawn a portal so you can return to this point if you die. Then enter the boss arena door.
  9. Defeat the boss, The Vaal Omnitect.
  10. If you die, you can return to the temple using any of the remaining portals. If you kill the boss, portals will spawn to let you return to your hideout.

Itemise an Incursion Temple

One of the favourite reward changes in this expansion is that Incursion’s Temple of Atzoatl can now be itemised.

Once you have access to the Map Device, Alva can turn your completed and ready-to-run temple into a tradeable object that can be consumed in the map device. This means that players can specialise in either making temples to trade to other players, or trading for temples that are ready to run.

Temple of Atzoatl Rewards

There have also been a lot of changes to the temple. As you may know, specific rooms in the Temple of Atzoatl can drop unique incursion items that can later be upgraded. Many of these base unique items have been improved in this update.

Previously, the temple’s boss, the Omnitect, dropped random rare items with special incursion mods on them. Now it also drops rare items with incursion mods based around the themes of the rooms your temple contains.

Higher-tier rooms cause more rare items. Specific rooms now add specific monster packs to the temple, which result in more monster density, challenge and reward. Temple mods have been buffed so that if your temple has more high-tier rooms then it’s equivalent to a good map.

GGG has performed a modernisation pass on rewards from temple rooms so that they’re competitive with rewards from newer leagues. The Explosives Rooms now contain some basic chests that can be opened with Flashpowder Kegs if you don’t need them for opening a path elsewhere in the temple.
