Complete each of the following Essence encounters.
Defeat Monsters with Essences (0/60). Essences can be used to upgrade a piece of normal rarity equipment to rare or reroll a rare item’s modifiers with one guaranteed modifier.
Defeat a monster with at least 3 Deafening Essences. Deafening(tier 7) is the highest tier essence. Remnant of Corruption has the following effect: All essence tiers are increased by 1. Essence Scarab of Ascent: Essences found in Area are a tier higher. Amplified Energies atlas notable: Imprisoned Monsters in your Maps have at least 1 Essence at the highest possible tier.
This is the most basic encounter and shouldn’t be too difficult. Here’s how to get started:
Run Maps: Any map tier will work, but lower-tier white maps might be faster to clear due to easier monsters.
Look for the Shimmering Light: This visual effect indicates an Essence monster.
Engage and Defeat: Fight the monster to complete the encounter.
Use Remnants of Corruption (0/30):
Remnants of Corruption are consumable items that can affect Essence monsters. Here’s how to use them effectively:
Find an Essence Monster: Look for the shimmering light effect as mentioned earlier. Ideally, aim for a monster with at least 2 Essences already attached.
Target the Right Monster: Prioritize monsters with Shrieking Essences (mid-tier) for the "Defeat a monster with at least 3 Deafening Essences" challenge (explained later).
Use the Remnant: Right-click the Remnant of Corruption on the Essence monster.
Effects of Remnant of Corruption:
Add More Essences: There’s a chance it can add more Essences to the monster, potentially reaching your target for the "Defeat a Map Boss with at least 6 Essences in a Red or Purple Tier Map" challenge (explained next).
Upgrade Essences: It might upgrade some Essences to a higher tier, but this isn’t the main goal.
Remember: Remnants of Corruption are consumable, so use them strategically.
Defeat a monster with at least 3 Deafening Essences:
Focus on Shrieking Essences: Deafening Essences (highest tier) won’t work for this challenge. You need Shrieking Essences (mid-tier).
Refer to "Defeat Monsters with Essences" Strategies: Follow the tips mentioned earlier to find and defeat Essence monsters.
Prioritize Shrieking Essences: When using Remnants of Corruption, target monsters with at least 2 Shrieking Essences for a higher chance of reaching 3.
Defeat a Map Boss with at least 6 Essences in a Red or Purple Tier Map (Tier 11-16):
Atlas Passive Points: Invest in "Amplified Energies" and consider "Crystal Resonance" as explained previously.
Scarabs: Use Kirac’s "Essence" scarab for guaranteed Essence monsters.
Remnant of Corruption: This is crucial. Use it on monsters with multiple Essences (ideally 3+) for a chance to add more or upgrade some to higher tiers (not necessarily Deafening).
Red Tier Maps: Focus on Red Tier Maps (Tier 11-16) for a slightly better chance of encountering higher tier Essences. Balance this with your clear speed.
Clear Speed and Efficiency: Prioritize running maps quickly to maximize attempts. Choose layouts with good monster density.
Important Notes:
Deafening Essences (Tier 7) Don’t Count: They won’t contribute to the "Defeat a Map Boss with at least 6 Essences" challenge. They might replace lower tiers during Remnant of Corruption use.
Patience is Key: This challenge can be time-consuming due to the random nature of Essence spawns.
By following these steps and focusing on efficient map clearing, you should be able to complete all the Essence encounters you mentioned.
