Plague endgame
Summon Plagued Bosses with Torn Effigies
Use a Torn Effigy at an infected-area bonfire to summon the Plagued Boss after meeting the zone’s enemy-clear threshold.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Summon Plagued Bosses with Torn Effigies
The bonfire in a zone currently marked Plagued, then the boss encounter in that same zone.
Before you go
- Complete all Breach content to unlock Plague activity.
- Have a Torn Effigy available if you want to summon the boss directly.
- Confirm the map still marks the intended zone as infected.
Farming steps
- Select an infected zone on the map and travel to its bonfire.
- Clear enemies in the zone until you have defeated roughly 65% of them.
- Return to or interact with the infected-zone bonfire and burn a Torn Effigy to summon the Plagued Boss.
- Fight and defeat the boss, then collect its drops.
- Clear remaining enemies if needed to finish cleansing the zone.
- Use any Torn resources collected from enemies for gear exaltation or Effigy crafting.
- Do not burn the Effigy before the enemy threshold; the documented boss appearance follows that progress.
- The boss and reward depend on the active Plague state, so check the map rather than planning around a fixed boss-zone pairing.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat with an Effigy when a zone is infected and the required item is available. The Effigy is consumed, and the sources do not promise that a particular zone or boss will be available next.
Common mistakes
- Searching for a separately named leader: the target is the zone’s Plagued Boss.
- Using the Effigy before clearing enough enemies: reach roughly 65% enemy progress first.
- Assuming a specific reward: collect what drops, but do not plan on a guaranteed Unique item.
When to stop or switch
Stop after defeating the boss and cleansing the zone; save remaining Effigies for a later infected zone if you have no current target.
