PoE Ultimatum Thread Guide

Ultimatum Thread is a Map Fragment that adds an Ultimatum Encounter to an area. Use it in a personal Map Device to modify a map. Its stack limit is 100.

At least one Thread modifier applies when you use a Thread. Using additional Threads increases the chance that multiple modifiers will apply, so the encounter may combine several special effects.

Possible Ultimatum Thread Modifiers

A Thread can change the encounter’s rewards, add extra effects during its rounds, or alter the challenge:

• Inscribed Ultimatums: All rewards offered by the encounter become Inscribed Ultimatums.
• Catalysts: All offered rewards become Catalysts.
• Trialmaster: The encounter leads to the Trialmaster.
• Beating heart: A heart appears each round. Defeating it grants Adrenaline to players and mercenaries in the area for a duration.
• Double Down: You can Double Down at round 7 or 8.
• Cursed Currency: Claiming the Cursed Currency adds random currency rewards to the rewards you have collected so far.
• Soul Core: A nearby Soul Core makes all types of Ultimatum encounters complete more quickly when claimed, but it can empower Ultimatum enemies.
• Secondary upsides: Each round offers an additional benefit alongside the usual difficulty modifiers.

What to Consider Before Using It

Ultimatum Threads can create encounters with different reward and combat effects. Read the offered modifiers and weigh their benefits against the added danger before continuing through more rounds.

Some effects change the reward pool, while others affect the pace or difficulty of the encounter. For example, the Soul Core can speed up completion but may strengthen enemies. The beating heart offers a temporary benefit if you can defeat it each round. These effects may appear together when multiple Thread modifiers apply.

How to Get Ultimatum Thread
