51-##### Breach Tablets
41+##### Omens
5242
53-One of the rewards you might find while fighting monsters from Breach are tablets. Tablets are special items that can be used with precursor towers
54-to add more encounters to the Atlas. Breaches will drop Breach tablets. Clicking on a completed tower will allow you to consume the tablet
55-to add more Breaches to the area within the range of the tower. This makes all content in the Atlas self-sustaining.
43+One of the rewards you can buy with tribute are Omens.
44+These are special items that allow for meta crafting: crafting items that affect other crafting items.
5645
57-Want to do more Breaches? Find the tablets, add them to your towers, get more Breaches getting more tablets.
46+Have an item with good prefixes but bad suffixes? This Omen will help you remove the mods you don't want while keeping the ones you do.
5847
59-Soon your Atlas will be covered in other worldly domains. In addition, like all items in Path of Exile, you can craft them.
48+There are a bunch more of these with different effects, but we'll leave those for you to discover. Now don't forget that Ritual will also drop tablets,
49+which can be used to specialize into getting more Rituals.
6050
61-Use your currency to add more mods to your tablets, allowing you to upgrade all the Breaches in range.
51+If you want to get to the pinnacle boss of Ritual,
52+then you'll probably want to use them. They can also be crafted to grant mods, making your Rituals more rewarding.
6253
63-Tablets can have up to two mods. These mods things like adding extra rare monsters, extra clasped hands,
64-or even monster density of Breaches, allowing you to keep them open for longer. Often you will find multiple towers near to each other
65-with overlapping areas of effect. This can allow you to really juice the mechanic by stacking the mods from multiple tablets.
54+The pinnacle encounter of Ritual is the King in the Mists, feared by the Azmeri people.
6655
67-In your fight to hold the Breach demons at bay, you may want to use the powers of their world against them.
68-
69-Each endgame mechanic always has player power that can only be gained from that mechanic, and Breach is no different.
70-
71-##### Catalysts
72-
73-In Breach, you will find catalysts, items that can increase the quality of rings and amulets by improving specific mods.
74-
75-You can also find Breach rings, a special base type that can have its quality improved by catalysts up to 50%.
76-In this case, you could create a ring with around 170 life Breach rings can become some of the strongest rings in the game,
77-giving you some good motivation to face the demon hordes. In addition, each endgame mechanic needs to have a pinnacle endgame encounter.
78-
79-##### Breach Stone
80-
81-While killing Breach monsters, you may find Breach Splinters. Collect enough of these and you'll be able to create a Breach Stone.
82-
83-##### Realm Gate
84-
85-Using a Vaal technology called the Realm Gate, you can use your Breach Stone to access their domain and bring the fight to them.
86-
87-In this Twisted Domain, you will find nothing but a single massive Breach. Triggering it will reveal hordes of Breach inhabitants.
88-
89-And should you be fast enough, you'll be able to fight their leader. Xesht, We Who Are One.
90-
91-Now, this is just one of the pinnacle encounters of Path of Exile 2. We won't be showing you the rest of them, so you'll have to discover them for yourself.
92-
93-But rest assured, this is some of the hardest content we've ever made. All these encounters have specific uniques that can only be found from them.
94-
95-##### Atlas Tree: Breach
96-
97-But that's not all. We still have the progression system. Defeating Xesht will give you points to allocate into the Breach section of the Atlas tree.
98-
99-Allocating these points will make Breaches and the Breach domain even harder, but will give you more rewards.
100-
101-The small nodes will increase the difficulty of the Twisted Domain, while the larger nodes will have more specific bonuses.
102-
103-For example, this node adds more clasped hands to your Breaches and adds packs of magic monsters that can guard them.
104-
105-Get some more points and you can allocate Waking Nightmare, which will double the number of splinters you get from clasped hands and inflict
106-you with a mysterious debuff.
107-
108-In order to earn more points, you will need to defeat Xesht at a higher difficulty, and some rewards
109-from Xesht can only be found by increasing the difficulty of the Twisted Domain above certain thresholds. Defeating Xesht at difficulty four will be a challenge indeed,
110-but there are many more threats in Wraeclast.
111-
56+He is said to have brought eternal darkness to the Wildwood. We won't show the encounter, but just like Breach,
57+there are a range of unique items you can get for defeating him and you will gain points in the Ritual section of the Atlas tree.
