Plague endgame
Clear Plague-infested regions for boss rewards
Clear an active Plagued zone and its boss for a chance at Unique gear and for Torn resources dropped by enemies.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Clear Plague-infested regions for boss rewards
Any zone marked Plagued on the map after completing all Breach content. Use the bonfire in that infected zone.
Before you go
- Complete all Breach content to activate the Plague system.
- Check the map for a currently infected zone.
- Bring gear and consumables appropriate for the zone’s increased difficulty.
Farming steps
- Open the map and choose a zone currently marked Plagued.
- Travel to its bonfire and inspect the Plague state before committing resources.
- Fight through the zone, collecting Torn resources from defeated enemies and clearing roughly 65% of its enemies.
- When the Plagued Boss appears, locate and defeat it.
- Collect the boss and enemy drops, then clear any remaining enemies until the zone is cleansed.
- Return to town to use Torn resources for gear exaltation or to craft a Torn Effigy, as appropriate.
- Take a route through enemy groups rather than rushing past them; the enemy threshold is part of the cleanse.
- The Plague can infect zones over time, so base each run on the map’s current state.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat when another zone becomes Plagued. A cleared zone is cleansed; the sources do not establish a fixed reset schedule or guarantee a specific drop.
Common mistakes
- Expecting the boss immediately: clear about 65% of the affected zone’s enemies first.
- Assuming a Unique item is guaranteed: the boss has a chance to drop one, so treat it as a possible reward.
- Burning resources without checking the difficulty: raising Plague Level increases both difficulty and rewards.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the zone is cleansed or switch to a currently infected zone if you need another Plague run.
