WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Fracturing Orbs from Cleansed Maps
Cleansed Maps created in nearby Atlas areas after defeating a Corrupted Nexus.
Before you go
- Reach Atlas mapping and locate an afflicted area with a Corrupted Nexus.
- Be able to complete the Nexus encounter and its final boss.
- Have access to Cleansed Maps your build can handle.
- Save any Fracturing Orb for a rare item whose modifier is worth locking.
Farming steps
- Find an afflicted Atlas area containing a Corrupted Nexus.
- Open the Nexus with an eligible Waystone and complete its encounter.
- Defeat the Nexus boss to cleanse nearby areas.
- Return to the Atlas and identify the Cleansed Maps now available.
- Choose a map tier and modifiers that suit your character.
- Complete the map and inspect its rewards for exclusive drops, including a possible Fracturing Orb.
- Keep an Orb until you have a rare item with a modifier worth preserving; then use it as part of your crafting plan.
- The Orb is rare, so do not budget around finding one in a particular map.
- Check each map’s difficulty before opening it; altered monsters and map modifiers still need to suit your build.
Repeat, collect and use
Run available Cleansed Maps for chances at their exclusive rewards. Cleansing requires another eligible Nexus; an Orb is not guaranteed per map.
Common mistakes
- Expecting a Fracturing Orb from every clear; treat it as a rare possible reward.
- Spending an Orb on an item with no valuable modifier to preserve; wait for a worthwhile rare item.
- Opening a map without checking its difficulty; select one you can finish reliably.
When to stop or switch
Stop when available Cleansed Maps are complete or their danger outweighs the reward. Use an Orb only when a specific rare item and crafting plan justify consuming it.
