Spend Lifeforce (0/25,000). Harvest Scarab of Doubling: Lifeforce dropped by Harvest Monsters in Area is duplicated. Bumper Crop atlas notable: The Sacred Grove in your Maps has 50% chance to contain an additional Harvest.
Defeat Oshabi. Sacred Blossom is a map fragment that grants access to The Sacred Grove, where Oshabi, Avatar of the Grove can be encountered.
Here’s a breakdown to help you complete each of the Harvest encounter challenges in Path of Exile:
Harvest Plots (0/100):
This is the most straightforward part. Here’s how to complete it:
Run Maps with Harvest Modifier: Look for maps with the Harvest icon or use currency like Scarabs or Sextants that add the Harvest modifier.
Complete the Map: Once you find a map with Harvest, run it and defeat the boss.
Enter the Sacred Grove: Look for a glowing portal within the map that leads you to the Sacred Grove.
Harvest Plots: Within the grove, you’ll find clusters of plants (plots). Interact with them and choose "Harvest" to gather resources. Complete this process for 100 plots.
Defeat Tier 4 Harvest Monsters (0/3):
Tier 4 Harvest monsters are very rare. Here’s how to increase your chances and what to expect:
Run Many Harvest Maps: The more Harvest encounters you complete, the higher the chance of encountering a Tier 4 boss.
Maximize Attempts: Use Harvest Scarabs, Kirac map device mod ("Additional Sacred Grove"), and invest in Harvest Atlas passives (if possible) to get more encounters.
High-Level Character & Strategy: Be prepared for a difficult fight. Ensure your character is strong and consider using defensive flasks, minions/decoys, and high burst damage skills.
Limited Information: Due to rarity, specific boss mechanics are unknown. Focus on observing attacks, surviving, and adapting your tactics.
Spend Lifeforce (0/25,000):
This will naturally happen as you complete Harvest encounters. Here’s how to use Lifeforce:
Access Horticraft Station: This crafting station should be placed in your hideout. Interact with it.
Browse Crafting Options: The station offers various crafting options depending on Lifeforce type (Life, Fire, Chaos, etc.). Each option has a Lifeforce cost displayed.
Choose Your Craft: Select the desired craft (reforge items, add modifiers, enchant gear) based on your needs.
Pay the Lifeforce Cost: Confirm the action to spend Lifeforce and complete the craft.
Defeat Oshabi:
Oshabi is a challenging boss within the Sacred Grove. Here’s how to prepare and defeat her:
Elemental & Chaos Resistance: Cap your Fire, Cold, Lightning Resistances (75%+) and invest in some Chaos resistance to mitigate damage.
Essential Flasks: Use an Anti-Bleed flask (like "Stem of Life" or "Coruscating Blood") and optionally, a debuff removal flask (like "Warding Flask" or "Saffel’s Frame").
Minions/Decoy Skills: Consider using minions or skills that create distractions (like Phantasm) to draw aggro and create attack/heal windows.
Burst Damage: Oshabi regenerates periodically. Focus on high burst damage to exploit these moments of vulnerability.
The Fight:
Observe Attacks: Learn her tells and animations. Dodge tentacle slams, move away from expanding vine walls, and destroy explosive flowers before detonation.
Stay Mobile: Constantly move to avoid attacks and area-of-effect damage.
Focus on Healing: Maintain sufficient health regeneration or use healing flasks throughout the fight.
Additional Tips:
Damage Over Time (DoT): Oshabi is susceptible to DoT effects (poison, ignite, bleed). Use skills or items that inflict these for steady damage.
Practice/Online Resources: If struggling, practice the fight or search online for video guides or build-specific Oshabi strategies.
By following these steps and focusing on completing Harvest encounters, you should be well on your way to achieving this challenge. Remember, defeating Tier 4 Harvest monsters is a rare feat, so persistence is key.
