8-The trials we talked about earlier have much more content when you get to the endgame too.
10+If you've played Path of Exile 1, you might be familiar with Breach. For Path of Exile 2, we've created sequels to several Path of Exile 1 leagues.
911
10-Just like the other endgame systems, they also have progression mechanics,
11-unique rewards and player power that can only be gained from them. As you get higher level coins for the Trial of the Sekhemas,
12-you'll unlock more floors to explore.
12+While the mechanic is familiar, the monsters, bosses, rewards, and progression all new.
1313
14-Each floor has its own challenging rooms
15-and a floor boss that you will need to kill.
14+A Breach is a tear in the fabric of reality. Opening it will allow you to see the demons and otherworldly monstrosities that lie in wait in this other plane of existence.
1615
17-There are four floors in total, leading to another pinnacle boss at the end of the last floor, which can only be accessed at endgame.
16+By engaging with a Breach, you'll create a bridge between their world and Wraeclast.
1817
19-##### Jewels
18+In order to keep the Breach open, you will need to kill the demons that pour forth. The faster you can kill the monsters,
2019
21-The Trial of the Sekhemas is where you will find jewels which you can socket into your tree. These are like passives that you can craft with your currency items.
20+the more monsters you will fight and the more loot you will find. You can also find clasped hands, that will open and drop more items
21+if you run over them.
2222
23-They can be really powerful as they allow you to stack modifiers that may not easily be accessible on the tree normally.
23+These can be a good boost to the rewards of the Breach, so keep an eye out.
2424
25-This jewel gives lightning damage and shock chance, for example. There are quite a few jewel sockets on the tree,
26-so it's possible to gain a lot of power here.
25+##### Breach Tablets
2726
28-There are also other types of jewels that don't provide any bonuses themselves,
29-but affect other passives surrounding them.
27+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
28+to add more encounters to the Atlas. Breaches will drop Breach tablets. Clicking on a completed tower will allow you to consume the tablet
29+to add more Breaches to the area within the range of the tower. This makes all content in the Atlas self-sustaining.
3030
31-This jewel increases the effect of small nodes in radius by 25%.
32-With careful placement in the tree, you could get a significant amount of power from it.
31+Want to do more Breaches? Find the tablets, add them to your towers, get more Breaches getting more tablets.
3332
34-There are also unique jewels available with very interesting effects,
35-but you'll have to find those for yourself. In order to push further into the trial and uncover the secrets of the Maraketh,
36-you will want to take advantage of its progression system.
33+Soon your Atlas will be covered in other worldly domains. In addition, like all items in Path of Exile, you can craft them.
3734
38-##### Relics
35+Use your currency to add more mods to your tablets, allowing you to upgrade all the Breaches in range.
3936
40-Relics are items that can be placed on the relic altar as you start the trial.
37+Tablets can have up to two mods. These mods things like adding extra rare monsters, extra clasped hands,
38+or even monster density of Breaches, allowing you to keep them open for longer. Often you will find multiple towers near to each other
39+with overlapping areas of effect. This can allow you to really juice the mechanic by stacking the mods from multiple tablets.
4140
42-They give special bonuses that affects the trial, making it easier and increasing its rewards.
41+In your fight to hold the Breach demons at bay, you may want to use the powers of their world against them.
4342
44-Of course, you can craft these with your currency items too, making them even stronger.
43+Each endgame mechanic always has player power that can only be gained from that mechanic, and Breach is no different.
4544
46-If you can complete the entire trial overcoming all four floors, the final boss will reward you with one of many unique relics.
45+##### Catalysts
4746
48-These relics will be consumed when used on the next run, but can reward you with unique and powerful items.
49-For example, this is The Last Flame. If you use it, you will only have one honor for the entire trial,
50-so you will need to do a completely hitless run.
47+In Breach, you will find catalysts, items that can increase the quality of rings and amulets by improving specific mods.
48+
49+You can also find Breach rings, a special base type that can have its quality improved by catalysts up to 50%.
50+In this case, you could create a ring with around 170 life Breach rings can become some of the strongest rings in the game,
51+giving you some good motivation to face the demon hordes. In addition, each endgame mechanic needs to have a pinnacle endgame encounter.
52+
53+##### Breach Stone
54+
55+While killing Breach monsters, you may find Breach Splinters. Collect enough of these and you'll be able to create a Breach Stone.
56+
57+##### Realm Gate
58+
59+Using a Vaal technology called the Realm Gate, you can use your Breach Stone to access their domain and bring the fight to them.
60+
61+In this Twisted Domain, you will find nothing but a single massive Breach. Triggering it will reveal hordes of Breach inhabitants.
62+
63+And should you be fast enough, you'll be able to fight their leader. Xesht, We Who Are One.
64+
65+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.
66+
67+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.
68+
69+##### Atlas Tree: Breach
70+
71+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.
72+
73+Allocating these points will make Breaches and the Breach domain even harder, but will give you more rewards.
74+
75+The small nodes will increase the difficulty of the Twisted Domain, while the larger nodes will have more specific bonuses.
76+
77+For example, this node adds more clasped hands to your Breaches and adds packs of magic monsters that can guard them.
78+
79+Get some more points and you can allocate Waking Nightmare, which will double the number of splinters you get from clasped hands and inflict
80+you with a mysterious debuff.
81+
82+In order to earn more points, you will need to defeat Xesht at a higher difficulty, and some rewards
83+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,
84+but there are many more threats in Wraeclast.
85+
