PoE Detonate Expedition Remnants

Detonate Expedition Remnants

• Tips: When the explosion occurs that hits that Remnant, they apply to all monsters and chests unearthed by that explosion and all subsequent ones.

Firstly, check all the Excavated Chests, Monsters, and Remnant Mods. Then, decide how to place explosives.

The start explosive is near the NPC. The remaining number of Placement is shown at the bottom. You can undo Placement(Shift + V).

For the chest, always choose the red Excavated Chest.

The top of Remnant shows its modifiers and it increases the difficulty of killing monsters. The bottom of Remnant shows its rewards.

According to your main DPS skill, you must avoid one of these mods:

• Monsters are Immune to Cold Damage
• Monsters are Immune to Fire Damage
• Monsters are Immune to Lightning Damage
• Monsters are Immune to Chaos Damage

Explosive mechanic: Modifiers from Remnants are applied to Monsters and Chests that are excavated from the explosive that destroys the Remnant and all subsequent Explosives.

Ancient Writings(atlas passive)

• Expeditions in your Maps have +2 Remnants

Unearthed Remnant

The ancient Kalguuran explorers built structures on Wraeclast, and you may encounter Unearthed Remnants of these at excavation sites. These remnants have various modifiers on them that, when destroyed, apply to monsters and chests unearthed from that explosion onwards.

Unearthed Remnant greatly increases drops, but have some very difficult modifiers, like “Immune to physical damage“. You’ll need to be very careful with your decision of which remnants to chain your explosives through, as they substantially ramp up the difficulty and rewards of the encounters.

You may choose to unearth chests full of valuable rewards, or to revive the undead husks of Kalguuran explorers and their treasures. It pays to be mindful of the mysterious Remnants of Kalguuran settlements scattered around the site. When detonated, their modifiers significantly increase the difficulty and reward of your Expedition.

Quick PSA about how Remnants Work

We quickly wanted to clarify this because some players misunderstood it. Sorry for not being more clear!

Remnants are detonated in a sequence (as your chain of explosives reaches them). When one is detonated, its effects apply to the monsters unearthed by that blast and all subsequent blasts. This is one of the things you need to consider strategically while planning where to place the explosives. You do not need to wait until all explosives have gone off before you start fighting the monsters.
