Sure, here’s what I can tell you about the Corruption Chamber in Path of Exile:
What it is:
The Corruption Chamber is a room encountered within the Temple of Atzoatl, the Incursion mechanic zone. It comes in three tiers:
Tier 1: Simply reduces your maximum resistances throughout the Temple.
Tier 2: Same as Tier 1, but with a chance to drop additional rewards.
Tier 3 (Locus of Corruption): Grants the ability to corrupt an item in your inventory.
What it does:
Corrupting an item is a high-risk, high-reward gamble. It can potentially:
Improve the item: Add powerful new modifiers or implicits, significantly boosting its power.
Destroy the item: Completely remove it from your inventory, lost forever.
Change the item: Reroll its existing modifiers and potentially give it new ones, with no guarantee of improvement.
Upgrading the chamber:
The Corruption Chamber starts at Tier 1 and can be upgraded to its higher forms by completing specific objectives within the Temple.
Things to consider:
Corrupting is best for high-end, well-rolled items that you’re willing to risk losing.
There are ways to mitigate the risk, such as using Vaal orbs to temporarily "brick" an item before corrupting it, ensuring it won’t be completely destroyed.
Consider your build and what kind of modifiers would be beneficial before taking the plunge.
Additional information:
The Corruption Chamber is a valuable room for players seeking powerful gear upgrades, but it’s important to understand the risks before using it.
