Here's how to defeat Map Bosses while under the effect of a Shrine in Path of Exile:

Understanding the Challenge:

This challenge requires defeating the boss of a map while actively buffed by a shrine. Shrines are small structures found throughout maps that grant temporary beneficial effects when activated.

Key Steps:

  1. Locate a Shrine: Explore the map and keep an eye out for a small glowing structure. These are shrines. There are various types with different effects, but any will work for this challenge.
  2. Activate the Shrine: Click on the shrine to activate its effect. The buff will be displayed as an icon above your character's health bar.
  3. Engage the Map Boss: Head towards the boss arena and initiate the fight with the boss.
  4. Defeat the Boss While Buffed: Ensure the shrine's buff is still active while you defeat the boss. Most shrine effects last for a decent duration, but some are shorter.

Additional Tips:

  • Plan Your Route: Try to locate the shrine before engaging the boss. This ensures you have enough time to activate the shrine and reach the boss arena before the buff expires.
  • Choose the Right Shrine: While any shrine technically works, some offer more beneficial effects for boss fights. Here are a few good options:
    • Gibbering Shrine: Grants increased attack and movement speed, helpful for dealing more damage and dodging attacks.
    • Wrought Flask Shrine: Replenishes your flasks, allowing you to use them during the boss fight for additional buffs or healing.
    • Karui Ward Shrine: Grants a powerful damage shield, helpful for surviving boss attacks.
  • Prioritize Survival: Focus on staying alive and dodging boss attacks while the shrine buff is active.
  • Consider Your Build: If your build relies heavily on instant buffs (like Warcries), you might find it easier to activate the shrine right before engaging the boss.

Alternative Strategy:

  • Some Shrines have negative effects but create a challenging mini-arena with tougher monsters. If you can defeat all the monsters in this arena while affected by the negative shrine effect, it will also count towards this challenge.

By following these steps and strategically using shrines, you should be able to defeat Map Bosses while under their effects and complete the challenge.
