Sacred Maps & the Ichor Broker
A Sacred Map is a one-use Expedition that ends in a fight with an Avatar. Avatars drop the fragments that summon the Uber bosses. Sacred Maps replace the Sacred Way and its Netherite Shrine.
100 Ichor buys a map, each Avatar drops 2 fragments, and 4 fragments summon the uber, so two maps of one bloodline make one summon.
The Ichor Broker
The Ichor Broker stands in the Lantern Harbour beside Theron. /sacredmaps opens his menu from anywhere, and /sacredmaps buy <bloodline> buys a map directly.
He sells four maps, one per bloodline, for 100 Ichor each:
| Sacred Map | Avatar | Fragment | Uber it summons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lamia | Avatar of Lamia | Shard of the Weeping Mirror | The Mirror Queen |
| Echidna | Avatar of Echidna | Strand of the Brood Knot | The Brood Mother |
| Thanatos | Avatar of Thanatos | Coin of the Unpaid Toll | The Tollkeeper |
| Hephaestus | Avatar of Hephaestus | Ember of the Unquenched Brand | The Unquenched |
His menu also shows how many fragments of each uber you carry.
Running a Sacred Map
Right-click the map to open the Expedition table in Sacred Map mode, then Enter. Entering uses up the map. If the run never opens, you get it back.
- It runs at area level 103, whatever your own level.
- It holds 3 fissures of its bloodline, and packs of that bloodline roam the rest of the map.
- Its monsters have 200% increased item quantity and +100% luck. Every kill drops normal Expedition loot.
- Its fissures pay no Ichor.
- One death ends the run, and the map is gone.
You can roll modifiers on a Sacred Map. It only rolls more monster life, more monster damage and no life regeneration. The Pit Breach Votive is the only Map Votive that goes on one.
The bar at the top counts the fissures you have closed.
The Avatar
Close every fissure and a crack opens at the boss arena. Step in and you drop into the Avatar's own lair.
You get one chance. If you die, or the fight ends without a kill, the map fails and you go back to the Lantern Harbour with what you already picked up.
A dead Avatar pays:
- the drops of a normal Expedition boss at area level 103, boss keys included;
- 2 fragments of its uber;
- sometimes its enchant orb or its trim.
Summoning the uber
Carry 4 fragments of one uber to that boss's altar and click Combine Fragments. The fragments fuse into the socket, and you summon the uber as you would with a key. Close the menu or have the summon refused and you get the fragments back.
See Uber Bosses for the fights and Summoning a Boss for the altar.
