Warning: endgame map zones are much more difficult than all
other content they require extremely well defined builds. Endgame map zones can be accessed by transmuting map items by themselves in act 5 hell. There are a total of 18 map items across 5 tiers. Each tier has 4 different map zones, except tier 5 which has only 2 maps with unique and extremely difficult boss encounters. Map items can drop from nihlathak domain superuniques. Each superunique boss has a 5% chance to drop a tier 1 map. Map items can also drop from champions and unique monsters in level 96 terrorized zones. Map items can also be acquired as a rare drop in endgame map zones themselves, which will be your main source if you run map zones regularly Regular monsters in maps can drop a map one tier higher than the map tier they're killed in. You can also upgrade maps at a 3:1 ratio. It is recommended that your build has at least 5k hp, max resistances, some physical resist and other defensive layers in order to survive. Rewards that are expressed in average chance mean that those rewards can be increased by up to 100% at players 8. For example, An ancient has 50% chance to roll a key drop twice, so on average you get one key, but increasing player number to 8 will make him have almost 100% chance to drop 2 keys. Endgame maps can become terrorized and one map of each tier will be terrorized at one time (except tier 5, which are terrorized both at the same time, independent of others). Endgame maps can be terrorized on normal and nightmare difficulties too, but it is not intended. This cannot be fixed due to engine limitations. Terrorized bosses always drop a Worldstone Shard (except tier 5 bosses due to an engine limitation). |

Herald of Doom - Endless Abyss  |
Long ago, before corruption blackened his soul, he walked among the Horadrim - a scholar of forbidden knowledge, a seeker of truth in the shadows of creation. But wisdom is a double-edged blade, and the one now known as the Herald of Doom saw too much. He gazed into the abyss of elemental power, not as a cautious ward, but as a willing disciple. And in return, the abyss gazed back. Rain of Doom - The corrupted horadrim will occasionally cast a rain of meteors upon its enemies, each meteor dealing devastating physical and fire damage.

Baal's Disfigured Harbinger of Destruction - Shrine of Destruction  |
Once, it was a loyal and devoted servant of the Lord of Destruction, a chosen harbinger meant to spread ruin in Baal's name. For one fleeting moment, it dared to question, to hesitate before Baal's decree. And for that, it was unmade and remade, not destroyed, but left to suffer, reshaped by its master's boundless wrath. Baal did not grant death, he granted a lesson, an eternal scar, a grotesque reminder of what happens to those who defy the Lord of Destruction. Homing Cold Novas of Destruction - Baal's former servant will most often cast a deadly orb of ice that spread ice bolts. At first, the ice bolts stand suspended in air for a short period, before seeking to pierce nearby players with extremely high speed.

Arbiter of Souls - Reliquary of Souls  |
In the endless war between Heaven and Hell, where angels and demons clash for dominion, there exists a force that serves neither side. Once, it may have been an angel, a being of celestial grace charged with guiding the dead to their destined afterlife. But that purpose was twisted, corrupted by the whispers of the Abyss, until it became something else entirely - a cold, impartial executioner, severed from both the light and the darkness. Bone Spirit - The arbiter's main attack is a bone spirit that deals very high amounts of magic damage, capable of hitting a target multiple times. Bone Spear Flurry - The boss will cast a flurry of bone spears on a 4 seconds cooldown that seek out nearby enemies.

Mephisto the Invincible - Eye of the Storm  |
Timeless heroes shattered his soulstone upon the Hellforge, watching as the fragments were swallowed by the abyss. They thought they had destroyed him. But hatred is not so easily destroyed. Deep within the smoldering veins of Hell, where the echoes of suffering never fade, the remnants of Mephisto's essence festered. Though his prison was broken, his malice endured, clinging to the very fabric of Hell itself. Every whisper of betrayal, every act of cruelty, every drop of innocent blood spilled upon the earth fed his lingering presence, reforging his spirit in the shadows. From the smoldering abyss, he rose anew. No longer bound to a soulstone, no longer constrained by the laws of the past - Mephisto had returned and is more powerful than ever before.

Flurry of Ice Orbs - When approaching Mephisto, he will attempt to cast on a 12 seconds cooldown a flurry of ice orbs that deal insane amounts of cold and physical damage. The ice orbs don't stop after one hit, but rather attempt to seek and hit their target multiple times, so it is imperative to run away from this spell. Cold Wave Prison - Mephisto will rarely cast 4 waves of cold, converging on top of the unsuspecting players and dealing extremely high cold damage to anyone in their path. Passives - Mephisto pierces 100% of your elemental resistances. Heaven's Light - Not all hope is lost when fighting Mephisto. Very rarely after damaging Mephisto, the lights of heaven will scatter the battlefield.

Diablo the Invincible - Eye of the Storm  |
From the depths of the Abyss, where the very foundations of Hell burn hottest, the Infernal Crucible - an ancient relic, older than the Prime Evils themselves - began to stir. Legends claim it was where the first demons were shaped, where the essence of darkness itself was forged into form. And now, drawn by the echoes of his own shattered being, Diablo's remnants flowed into its flames, reforging the Lord of Terror into something greater, something unbreakable.

Stream of Lightning - His old spell is now powerful than ever before. He casts his stream of lightning every 6 seconds, dealing prohibitively high amounts of physical and lightning damage. Passives - Diablo pierces 100% of your elemental resistances. Doomsday Angels - Not all hope is lost when fighting Diablo.

Baal the Invincible - Eye of the Storm  |
The world believed him undone. His body crumbled, his essence scattered as the Worldstone shattered, its ancient power unraveled in a cascade of celestial ruin. Baal had not perished, he had been absorbed into the very heart of creation. For years, his essence laid dormant, dispersed across the fragments of the Worldstone. But with every war, every act of destruction upon Sanctuary, his power slowly reformed, feeding off the chaos, the ruin, the unraveling of the world he once sought to corrupt. The cracks in reality deepened, the echoes of his will whispering through the fabric of existence itself. And then, the final fracture came. Baal rose again, no longer bound by a Prime Evil's flesh, no longer merely a demon lord. He was something greater now - something no longer of Hell, nor of Sanctuary, but of the broken foundation of the world itself. He did not simply command Destruction - he is now Destruction incarnate, more powerful than ever before. Invincibility - As his name states, Baal is completely invincible to any damage and his immunities cannot be broken by regular means.

Passives - Baal pierces 100% of your elemental resistances. Weakening Tower - Not all hope is lost when fighting Baal. Roughly ever 13 seconds, Baal will summon demonic towers with a devastating meteor attack to aid him into battle.

Guardians of Time - The Icecrown Citadel (The Edge of Eternity)  |
Long ago, three warriors stood as the final guardians of Mount Arreat, sworn to keep the Worldstone from the hands of the unworthy. Korlic, Talic, and Madawc, champions of an age long past, stood against all who dared trespass. They were not driven by hatred nor by conquest - they were bound by duty, a sacred oath that transcended even death. But duty is a cruel master. When the Worldstone shattered, the power they once protected was lost, and with it, their purpose. Their bodies crumbled, their spirits dissolved into the void… or so the world believed. What the Nephalem did not realize was that the Ancients were never truly mortal. For centuries that passed in an instant, they drifted outside reality, watching as Sanctuary fell further into corruption. They saw humanity - the very children of the Worldstone - abandon their purpose, wielding their forbidden Nephalem power as if they were gods. They saw the wars, the betrayal, the reckless destruction of the balance once held sacred. And in the void, a new purpose took root. The Ancients did not return as protectors. They returned as executioners. Invincibility - The returned ancients are being of immense power, controlling time itself. You cannot damage them by regular means. Korlic Cataclysm - Korlic will occasionally cast a devastating attack, raining down an avalanche of rocks from the sky, dealing immense physical damage to anyone affected. Converging Axes - He sometimes conjures axes from thin air that converge upon their target. Anyone caught in the middle is sure to meet a quick death. Passives - Upon taking damage, Korlic has a chance to charge at the enemy. Heaven's Light - Upon damaging Korlic, there's a small chance of heaven intervening, summoning balls of pure light. Upon touching them, you and nearby affected allies are empowered. Talic Axe Prison - Talic will sometimes conjure several nova of axes, seeking the unsuspecting target, dealing massive physical damage. Eternal Pendulum - Upon attacking in melee, Talic has a chance to summon Eternal Pendulums. The Pendulums summon the sands of time, which seek nearby enemies, dealing devastating physical damage and stunning the target for a short time. Upon killing the Pendulum, you and nearby allies are empowered. Madawc Magic Axe - Madawc's primary attack is a magic axe that homes into nearby targets, dealing devastating magic and physical damage. Magic Axe Flurry - Occasionally, Madawc will enrage, starting throwing magic axes in a rapid fashion. Magic Axe Nova - Very rarely, Madawc will tap into the power of time itself, summoning a devastating nova of magic axes that remain suspended in walls, seeking nearby players after a short time. Timeless - The returned ancients are enraged by the state of sanctuary, making them absolutely immortal to all damage. Once you have both the empowering effects of the Eternal Pendulum and Heaven's Light, you will be able to damage them. Rewards Orb of Anointment (33% chance on average each) Eternal Hourglass of Timeless Sand (Unique Large Charm) (you need to kill them all to forge it) Tier 5 Map (17% chance on average each) Random Pandemonium Key (100% chance each on average) Other Generic Items/Materials |

The Lich King - The Icecrown Citadel (The Frozen Throne)  |
The boundaries between worlds are not as unbreakable as the scholars of Sanctuary once believed. The Worldstone stood as the anchor of reality, a divine barrier that separated Sanctuary from the influence of both the High Heavens and the Burning Hells. But when Tyrael shattered it, that barrier was forever weakened. And something else took notice. Far beyond the realms of the Eternal Conflict, in a world consumed by war and death, the Lich King ruled in cold silence. His dominion was absolute, his legions endless, yet the hunger for conquest knows no borders. For death is not confined to a single world, and the power of the Worldstone's destruction echoed through the void between realities, calling to something beyond Sanctuary's understanding. The Lich King does not seek to burn the world like the Prime Evils, nor to corrupt it with lies. He seeks to claim it. The Burning Hells revel in chaos; he brings order through death. The Heavens fight for justice; he believes justice is an illusion. To him, all things end in undeath, and even the angels and demons who have warred since time immemorial will bow before the frozen silence of eternity. Will you not put an end to his reign, he will enslave all of sanctuary. This is the end of all things. Converging Cold - Lich King's regular ability is a converging nova of 4 cold waves that deal very high cold and physical damage to anyone hit. Pounce - Roughly every 8 seconds, the Lich King will assault an unsuspecting target, releasing a nova of pure energy, knockbacking nearby enemies, followed shortly by Eternal Winter. Eternal Winter - Roughly every 12 seconds (in addition to Pounce's followup), the Lich King will release a deadly nova of blue fire that siphons the souls of anyone affected, dealing pure, unmitigable damage, reducing cold resistance by 150%, physical resistance by 100% and slowing affected players to a crawl. This spell is announced with an audio cue. Summon Undead - Rarely, the Lich King will summon 4 ghouls and 1 abomination to aid him in battle. Shadow Trap - Upon taking damage, the Lich King has a chance to summon a shadow trap beneath the attacking player. After a short period, the shadow trap becomes active and releases a wave of Eternal Winter fires. Ghouls - Ghouls possess the spirit of the undead, regenerating very rapidly. They also have a chance to charge at their target when hurt. Abomination - The abomination is immune to all damage and its immunity cannot be broken by regular means. Upon taking damage, the abomination has a chance to enrage, increasing either its damage or movement speed. Very rarely upon taking damage, the abomination will cause the heavens to aid the player in battle, sending the Heaven's Light. Upon picking up the light, the player can damage the abomination and kill it. Valkyries - Upon taking damage, the Lich King has a small chance to summon Valkyries to aid him in battle. The Valkyries don't pose such a high threat. Upon killing them, they will empower the players with the Light's Hope . Passives - The Lich King pierces 100% of your elemental resistances. Timeless - Being a being from outside of Sanctuary's space and time, The Lich King is absolutely immortal to this world's damage. In order to be able to damage him, you need to possess both the effects of Light's Hope and Heaven's Light.
