| 7 | + | Next up, we have Expedition. Occasionally, while clearing corruption, you will encounter these Kalguuran settlers. | |
| 7 | 8 | ||
| 8 | - | ||
| 9 | - | ||
| 9 | + | The Kalguurans have discovered ancient burial sites with lost Verisium artifacts, and they want you to help them dig them up. | |
| 10 | + | With explosives! The Kalguurans have marked locations where the relics can be found. | |
| 10 | 11 | ||
| 11 | - | You must stay within the mist to maintain the nightmare, | |
| 12 | - | which is as profitable as it is terrifying. Everything you kill will increase the rewards that drop. | |
| 12 | + | Place explosives as best you can to dig up as many as possible. There's just one problem. | |
| 13 | 13 | ||
| 14 | - | ||
| 14 | + | 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. | |
| 15 | 15 | ||
| 16 | - | Rare and unique enemies will become vessels for terrifying demons who will manifest out of them to unleash powerful attacks on you. | |
| 16 | + | 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, | |
| 17 | + | but also more rewarding. Dannig, Rog, Tujen, and Gwennen, | |
| 18 | + | will exchange the artifacts for useful items and runic magic. | |
| 17 | 19 | ||
| 18 | - | ##### Distilled Emotions (Oil) | |
| 20 | + | You can also find tablets to increase the number of Expeditions and the rewards. | |
| 21 | + | This one increases the radius of the explosives, while this one increases the number of remnants you will find. | |
| 19 | 22 | ||
| 20 | - | The mist also offers a strange crafting material: Distilled Emotions. By combining these emotions, you are able to instill your amulet | |
| 21 | - | with a notable from the passive skill tree. This is like gaining an extra passive point for free attached to your gear. | |
| 23 | + | ##### Expedition Logbook | |
| 22 | 24 | ||
| 23 | - | They are also particularly great because you don't have to traverse the tree to get to them, allowing you to get off class bonuses that would normally be much harder to get. | |
| 25 | + | Eventually, you might discover a Logbook. These are special maps full of buried treasure and relics. | |
| 26 | + | Essentially one giant dig site. | |
| 24 | 27 | ||
| 25 | - | ||
| 26 | - | ||
| 28 | + | Here you can create an extremely long chain of explosives and go through a very high number of remnants, | |
| 29 | + | but be very careful. Many remnants have mods that can really brick your build, so you'll probably want to avoid those ones. | |
| 27 | 30 | ||
| 28 | - | ||
| 31 | + | 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. | |
| 29 | 32 | ||
| 30 | - | ||
| 31 | - | ||
| 33 | + | You might find dripping caves or hidden pirate caches, but the most powerful encounter is Olroth, | |
| 34 | + | the ancient undead commander of the Knights of the Sun. | |
| 32 | 35 | ||
| 33 | - | ##### Simulacrum splinters | |
| 34 | - | ||
| 35 | - | Speaking of which, every now and then you will find Simulacrum splinters. The mysterious entity will create strange encounters | |
| 36 | - | based on warped versions of your own memories. | |
| 37 | - | ||
| 38 | - | Monsters in Simulacrums come in waves that get progressively more difficult. | |
| 39 | - | ||
| 40 | - | You'll receive loot at the end of each wave, and you'll have to make the decision to leave now or continue on, facing up against even tougher foes from the mist. | |
| 41 | - | ||
| 42 | - | The bosses you will face as you get deeper into the Simulacrum are truly terrifying. Still sane, Exile? | |
| 43 | - | If you can complete a Simulacrum, you'll gain points for the Delirium section of the Atlas skill tree. | |
| 36 | + | Defeating him will grant you unique rewards, as well as points | |
| 37 | + | 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. |
