Expedition

• Unique Rewards: Expedition Precursor Tablet, Expedition Logbook, Broken Circle Artifact
• Rog Crafting
• Pinnacle Boss: Olroth, Origin of the Fall

Next up, we have Expedition. Occasionally, while clearing corruption, you will encounter these Kalguuran settlers.

The Kalguurans have discovered ancient burial sites with lost Verisium artifacts, and they want you to help them dig them up. With explosives! The Kalguurans have marked locations where the relics can be found.

Place explosives as best you can to dig up as many as possible. There's just one problem.

Corruption has brought the corpses of their ancestors to life. So you might have to do a little bit of cleanup before you can reclaim the artifacts.

You can also find remnants, the destruction of which will further anger the restless dead. Each one you blow up will make subsequent monsters more powerful, but also more rewarding. Dannig, Rog, Tujen, and Gwennen, will exchange the artifacts for useful items and runic magic.

You can also find tablets to increase the number of Expeditions and the rewards. This one increases the radius of the explosives, while this one increases the number of remnants you will find.

Expedition Logbook

Eventually, you might discover a Logbook. These are special maps full of buried treasure and relics. Essentially one giant dig site.

Here you can create an extremely long chain of explosives and go through a very high number of remnants, but be very careful. Many remnants have mods that can really brick your build, so you'll probably want to avoid those ones.

If you add too many remnants, you could easily make the encounter harder than you can handle. There are all sorts of interesting things buried under the ground in Logbooks.

You might find dripping caves or hidden pirate caches, but the most powerful encounter is Olroth, the ancient undead commander of the Knights of the Sun.

Defeating him will grant you unique rewards, as well as points to spend in the Expedition section of the Atlas Tree. So those are the endgame systems on the Atlas, but we're not done yet.
