Common questions

What league mechanics are in Path of Exile 2?

Six: Breach, Ritual, Delirium, Abyss, Incursion and Expedition. The game treats them as one set — each has its own Atlas passive subtree, its own in-map encounter, its own reward currency and its own pinnacle boss.

How do you get league mechanics into your maps?

Three ways stack. Waystone modifiers can roll the content directly, Precursor Tablets add it to every map in a tower's range, and each mechanic's Atlas subtree makes its encounters more common and richer once you spend points in it.

Where is the Burning Monolith?

The Burning Monolith is not a league mechanic — it is the pinnacle arena where you fight the Arbiter of Ash, reached with the Crisis Fragments from the three uber Act-boss questlines. It lives with the rest of the bosses.

What are Vaal Beacons?

Vaal Beacons are Incursion's in-map encounter, not a separate mechanic. Energising them yields Energised Crystals, and six of those open Atziri's Temple from the Vaal Ruins.
