PoE Gain Deafening Essences from Essence Monsters

Players encounter groups of monsters with a rare one in the middle possessed by one or more essences, each granting him a special ability. These monsters are trapped and don’t perform any actions until the player clicks a few times on the possessed rare to release the whole group. When the possessed monster is killed the essences will drop as items.

Gain Essences from monsters

Monsters trapped in essence crystals can occasionally be encountered in most areas starting from Act 1. Activating the center essence crystal three times will break the crystals, freeing the trapped monsters. The essence item can be obtained by killing these monsters, which are also enhanced by special monster modifiers on the essence.

Some types of essences only exist at higher tiers. This forms a progression in which more types of essences become available in areas with higher monster level.

Tier 6, ‘Shrieking’ essences can be obtained by upgrading lower tier essences through the vendor recipe system or by corrupting tier 5 essences using a Remnant of Corruption.

Tier 7, ‘Deafening’ essences can be obtained by upgrading lower tier essences through the vendor recipe system or by corrupting tier 6 essences using a Remnant of Corruption.

Other ways of acquiring essence include:

  • One of the Harvest crafting options changes a stack of essences into a different type of the same tier.
  • The Frigid Recess node in the Azurite Mine.
  • An Immortal Syndicate Fortification safehouse if Guff is placed there.
  • Through an Infused Incubator.
  • As a reward for a Blight, Delirium, Ritual or Heist encounter.
