BRo explained the braindead stuff I figured out, and explained almost nothing that I was actually clueless about. Why are some nodes blue / green/ white ? What do the Lost Towers mean? Why are there 4 slots to place a waystone? If i add more it wont let me traverse? What are Realm Gates?
They quit cause they are weak I'm older person so idk anyone that plays games except ppl that are younger then me love this game used to play a lot of Diablo 2
As a new player, I didn't even know this is called "MAPS". I tried to search for "PoE2 end game guide" and was only shown build guides. Thank god I run into this video since the whole system as a whole is a complete dark forest for me, no idea how to progress
Thanks. What does the four slots in the map device do? More waystones the harder it is? And for a regular node what is the win condition? just kill all the unique?
super helpful thanks so much! played POE 1 but never got to maps so was a total noob when i just hit endgame in POE 2. helps a huge amount and easy to understand for now :)
Hey, great vid! I'm no newcomer to POE but I got a few friends into POE2 who have never mapped or done anything in POE1. This'll help them understand how mapping works once they finally complete the campaign.
Say, what happens if i put 4 t1 maps, since it allows us to put 4 in the slot? what happens then? Just curious. Thank you for dumbing things down too -subbed!
Newcomer to Path of Exile as a whole. Very informative and perfect video -- thank you! Also shout out to the top comment regarding the "i" button at the top left of the atlas.
My fiancé and I Are new to POE and are quite overwhelmed ngl 😅 this helps alot; we aren't even close to this end game yet but I'm hearing "maps" everywhere and wanted to learn! Ty!
Are you sure you can just use another stone to do the same node again? I thought if you died the node got bricked/turned red and then you could no longer attempt that node?
Yes you can put a new waystone key do re-do the map but you lose the map buff. For example if it was a boss node. You lose the chance to do the boss, but you can still do the map to proceed to next node
I just hit endgame and died on a stage with a modifier, what i want to know is do modifiers come back at all like even if you cleared a stage or not? Just wanted to clarify for myself
Is there a way to bring back the end game mechanics on the maps? what if I die on all of them, I won't be able to do and beat that end game mechanic and I bricked my account?
Thank you for the explanation. I played lot of D4 and I'm pretty new in PoE2. Is it like if in D4 the paragon boards would be locked behind a dungeon/series of dungeons? The waystone opens the map and you have only certain tries to complete (like in D4 the NMD). The map is infinite? Or is there any maximum?
So once you complete a "node" with a waystone of lower level, is there not a way to run that very same node with a higher waystone? I'm confused, because what if we run out of nodes to run, cause we completed them on lower level waystones.
Thanks for this. I just finished the 2nd run through and while I knew some details about endgame activities when I saw this map thing I was like uhhhhh what? Lol
I am completing maps (says "map complete" when I bring up the map overlay). Then, I start a new map, and that previous node says "map attempted" instead of "map completed." What am I doing wrong?
You forgot to mention how to get the different levels of “Waystones” cause when I do the maps all I see is level 1 waystones. How can I get higher levels
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. When I complete a node that has a mechanic on it, I don't receive any points to put into that mechanic tree. Is anyone else having this issue?
"That end game mechanic" yes that is what i came to hear about. Explain. Deliurium mirror and breach. What am i trying to do for best payout? Am i racing to get as many mirror breaks or ground hands as possible? Or am i killing as much as possible. I always get the same 4 distilled rewards so i think im not doing something right.
the mechanics can also pop up in maps that have no icon, the icon just means that the mechanic shown is guranteed. I ran a blank node and got an expedition in it.
yup, you just lose it for that node....you can also find tablets and influence the maps in the area at the tower to contain the mechanics you want when you get them to drop as well.
Uh the disconnect part and coming back to the portals is kinda bugged because I’ve lost at least 10 maps due to disconnects and when I try to go back into it I get the message “ cannot rejoin after dying “ even though I haven’t even attempted the map yet.
Any tips on finding more waystones?. I'm halfway through teir 2 and accumulating enough to sustain progress has been a pain. I'm aware you can combine 3 of a lower level to receive a higher teir. I've basically just been wasting gold buying teir 1's so I can craft into teir 2's. Maps are barely dropping any for me and the merchant fella only sold me one teir 2 and that was it. One thing I wasn't aware of is the fact you can increase the rarity of waystones with orbs, was this my issue?. I'm assuming higher rarity waystones have higher chance to drop waystones?
@isinigang1971 I just pushed through with buying tier 1's and combining them. Then increasing the rarity with orbs to increase drop rates. Halfway through teir 3 now and drops rates seem a little better. It's weird sometimes I clear like 4 maps with no drops, then get 3 back to back on the same map.
That's a poor guide really. Unstructured, no actual guidance. What is atlas tree for? What is my goal on ascendancy map? Is it endless or can I just "brick" all my fancy nodes by dying everywhere? I learned nothing.
This answered enough for me to connect some dots. If you're NEW NEW to the game this little bit of info can go a long ways. This video isn't for you so move along
Wow, thank You for the explanation. I wonder why they had to make things so complicated, as if each section of the game was designed by different teams ?
Notice the "i" Button on the top left corner of the atlas. It brings up a cheat sheet that tells you what icon means what.

Thank you!
Good looking out thanks

What are Realm Gates?

thanks for this comment. i was skipping through to find anything and then i saw your comment. time saved
thank you, just finished cruel tonight and trying to get a grasp on endgame!
As someone new on Path of Exile, thank you for the detailed guide on MAPS!!
Thank you so much, my friends got me to play the game, and now they have all quit while I am hooked so videos like this is really a life saviour
I’m kind of in the same bind.
They quit cause they are weak I'm older person so idk anyone that plays games except ppl that are younger then me love this game used to play a lot of Diablo 2
Thanks for the video, really needed this to understand what the heck I was doing in the end-game. Keep up making great videos!
This is exactly what I was looking for
You sir gave me a Book of Knowledge on basic maps. Thanks!
Thanks for the clear explanation for us newcomers to POE 👍
this is exactly the kind of beginner map guide i wanted! thank you. Im gonna go get my hideout now!

just finished campaign, didnt want to go into maps blind, thank you!
So what do you do if you keep dying in there? Where do you level up to get stronger?
Just finished the campaign and was lost about maps, thanks man appreciated your time… see at the streamings
Hi, new to the channel here, thanks alot for the explanation, as a new poe player, was hard to understand. Sub earned.
@@khanae8556 thank you so much!
Map reminds me of Hearoes of Might & Magic map :)
thank you i played POE 1 many years ago so getting an update of how the maps work was very helpful :)
Awesome vid man, explained it perfectly for me :)
thanks man this was great for a poe-beginner such as myself!
New to the channel. You got a new subscriber i loved your explanation. Poe 2 is getting even more fascinating
I don’t understand the hate in the comments. You explained everything very well. Ty!
So what is my goal? What should I prioritize after the hideout? Should I full clear the whole map or B-line it to activities?
You can buy them from that man who gives quest for atlas skill points
Say, what happens if i put 4 t1 maps, since it allows us to put 4 in the slot? what happens then? Just curious. Thank you for dumbing things down too -subbed!

Doryani, sitting in the shadows... "My name is not Dorian. Sheesh."
Might have missed it, but why does the box for the waystones have 4? What would the point of adding more than one waystone be?
You can put more in per map, to get more reward potential.
@Vaelin94 i could put 2 lvl 3 waystones for more rewards?
That’s called “juicing”. More challenges and rewards along with difficulty
@@bengalbrown2834I tried putting 2 t1 way stones in map device and it wouldn’t let me traverse. Why am I doing wrong?
@ I’m not 100% sure but it might be something to do with your character level vs what level the monsters would be.
Thank you. Very well explained. 😊

@@blackfly303 yes you can! The blocking part was changed before release!
How do i unlock the other trees at the atlas passive? Like breach for example
I completed 10+ mechanics but no points
he does not know. I guess u have to complete all 15 levels 10 each first.
i just started maps tier 1, hideout isn't on the atlas right now. Do i need to keep clearing maps for it to finally appear?
You unlock it by finding a hideout node on the map, usually not too far from the start postition.
How do i get back to the place to even use the waystone??
I just hit endgame and died on a stage with a modifier, what i want to know is do modifiers come back at all like even if you cleared a stage or not? Just wanted to clarify for myself
Is there a way to bring back the end game mechanics on the maps? what if I die on all of them, I won't be able to do and beat that end game mechanic and I bricked my account?

The map is "infinite" (think Delve from PoE 1 if you are familiar) in all direction, you should not run out
Hey War, super video. How do you set the hideout as the default portal out to sell ?
ctrl+click
Console!! 😉

I killed everything on my first map and it’s says it’s still in progress? Everyone’s dead, what now? I portables back to and came back samr
@@ronquixote3767 once you see map completed your done. It will say in progress until you start another map
Thank you for the info I appreciate it
Ty, just what i needed
Why do the map slots have 4 spaces while the waystone only takes up one space?
My boy still has two of the mushrooms in his inventory.
I am completing maps (says "map complete" when I bring up the map overlay). Then, I start a new map, and that previous node says "map attempted" instead of "map completed." What am I doing wrong?
Thank you my dood, this helped me
Do tiers do anything other than points? Do you have better magic find or?
Yes better drops and higher difficulty
You forgot to mention how to get the different levels of “Waystones” cause when I do the maps all I see is level 1 waystones. How can I get higher levels
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. When I complete a node that has a mechanic on it, I don't receive any points to put into that mechanic tree. Is anyone else having this issue?
What if you run out of stones? How do you get new ones?
You go and loot tier 1s in act 3 or buy them, u shouldnt be running out of waystones tho
so if you lose one of the modifiers, does tha tmean you permanently missed out on the point? is there a way to reset them?
actually bro that red thing was corruption which lvls the map up 1 tier :)
Very good video it helped me allot thanks
How do you get to the nodes on islands that aren’t connected to another node?
"disconnect for whatever reason" made me chuckle. like the game doesnt crash evry 2 two hours lol
Thanks for the great content as always
You need a hideout to start mapping? The first maps you need to do from the refugee because you don't have a hideout..
"That end game mechanic" yes that is what i came to hear about. Explain. Deliurium mirror and breach. What am i trying to do for best payout? Am i racing to get as many mirror breaks or ground hands as possible? Or am i killing as much as possible. I always get the same 4 distilled rewards so i think im not doing something right.
so we get 30 atlas points total, but how many "modifier" points can we get? until each section is full or are they also limited?
Thanks for the explanations. The skill points I don’t know how those work, I did a breach, I did a delirium, I have non.
He has almost no idea what he’s talking about just rushed out a “guide” for views
My hideout is not showing after I finish the act 3 in cruel, it appears the atlas but no hideout, how can I get to the hideout?
Thanks, this really helped
Would I have to enter each portal to complete a map?
@@jasonsibbring9630 after you kill all the elites is when you complete the map, you can also press tab and top right it will show if u complete or not
what is diferences of the tier???
thanks for the help mate . :D I did not understand what the pyramid does. I try to put a map in it and press traversal but nothing happens.
Why does it still say I’m in act 3? How do I unlock the endgame tab?
the mechanics can also pop up in maps that have no icon, the icon just means that the mechanic shown is guranteed. I ran a blank node and got an expedition in it.
Thanks so much! Helped a ton!
Dont listen to any naysayers in the comments, man!
Keep doing what you do!
i have done 2 breach node maps so far, but i did not get any atlas points, something wrong?
Summary of a 12 min video:
1. Use waystones to enter the map
2. Upon death waystone is lost and another one is required to access the map
So.... where is this place located...??
yeah seriously. This dude turned a 3 minutes video into 12 somehow. Was even too long on 2x speed.
@quinndonoho8902 ad revenue..
I died in a map that had the boss icon above it, that means I will never see that boss on this character?
Thanks man!
4:25 you can go to any of the ones glowing blue, your current spot on the map is irrelevant
NICE comment this helps a ton I thought it was only where person was.
Thanks for the breakdown, brother
is there not also a way to combine low tier maps to get a slightly higher one?
Yes, Reforging bench combines 3 of same tier (and same rarity) to next tier map.
Well explained thanks
You still got them mushrooms stuck in your inventory? 😆
when the expedition node disappears when u die will it appear somewhere else?
Meanwhile I'm still hard stuck on the first act 2 😅
so if i die doing one of the map events like 'breach' and i lose that event.. will i have another chance to gain those points elsewhere?
yup, you just lose it for that node....you can also find tablets and influence the maps in the area at the tower to contain the mechanics you want when you get them to drop as well.
Very helpful thank you
my endgame is bugged. i dont see the tab and i already beat act1-6. :[
Same
Got the endgame tab, went back to act 6 for a quest and now i can't go back to endgame 🙄
same, it telling me to "speak to Doryani in Ziggurat Encampment" which i already have and dont have more dialogue to choose from...any ideas?
Uh the disconnect part and coming back to the portals is kinda bugged because I’ve lost at least 10 maps due to disconnects and when I try to go back into it I get the message “ cannot rejoin after dying “ even though I haven’t even attempted the map yet.
Wait, so if you fail an expedition once that's it. You can never complete it on that character again?
It’ll pop back up in the maps
Maybe you did mention it but I didn’t hear because I’m playing POE lol but is it ok to play with a friend in maps?
