Path of Exile: Unveiling the Eater of Worlds and Searing Exarch for Currency

The Atlas of Worlds in Path of Exile offers a vast endgame, where you can challenge powerful entities and reap significant rewards. This guide explores encountering the Eater of Worlds and the Searing Exarch, unlocking Voidstones, and boosting your poe currency gains.

Acquiring the Influence (One-Time Steps):

  1. Run Maps: As you delve into maps Tier 6 or higher, you might encounter the Envoy with The Maven. Speak to him to receive a Flesh Compass (Eater of Worlds influence) or Luminous Astrolabe (Searing Exarch influence). You’ll get the other item in Tier 11+ maps.
  2. Upgrade Your Map Device: Return to your hideout and add the received item (Compass or Astrolabe) to your Map Device. This allows you to activate the Eater of Worlds or Searing Exarch influence on your maps.

Progressing the Influence:

  1. Run Influenced Maps: Open Tier 9 maps with either influence activated – this adds themed enemy packs. Complete the map, then run another map with the same influence one tier higher to advance the quest.
  2. Facing the First Challenge: Complete a Tier 11 map with either influence and defeat the boss. They’ll drop a Writhing Invitation (Eater) or a Polaris Invitation (Searing Exarch).
  3. Challenge Accepted: Add the Invitation to your Map Device and activate it. Six portals will open. Enter to face The Infinite Hunger (Eater) or The Black Star (Searing Exarch).
  4. Claim Your Reward: Defeat the boss and speak to Kirac for an Atlas Book of Skill.

Reaching the Apex (One-Time Steps per Boss):

  1. Higher Tier Influence: Continue running maps of a higher tier with either influence.
  2. The Final Challenge: Conquer a Tier 16 map with the chosen influence and defeat the boss. They’ll drop a Screaming Invitation (Eater) or an Incandescent Invitation (Searing Exarch).
  3. Confront the Elder Entity: Add the Invitation to your Map Device and activate it. Six portals will open. Enter to face The Eater of Worlds or The Searing Exarch.
  4. Victory and Reward: Defeat the boss. The Eater drops a Grasping Voidstone, and the Searing Exarch drops an Omniscient Voidstone. Speak to Kirac for an Atlas Book of Skill.

Sustaining the Challenge:

  • After defeating either boss for the first time, you can activate their influence on Tier 14+ maps.
  • Completing maps with a specific influence grants invitations in a cycle (Writhing/Polaric -> Screaming/Incandescent). These invitations are craftable and tradable.

The Power of Voidstones:

  • Complete the questlines and defeat bosses to obtain Voidstones.
  • Socket Voidstones in your Atlas to increase the minimum tier of your maps, granting access to higher-level challenges and potentially more valuable currency.

Beyond the Eater and Exarch:

This guide focuses on the Eater of Worlds and the Searing Exarch. The path to other Voidstones involves tackling The Maven and The Uber Elder, offering even greater challenges and rewards.

By following these steps and strategically using the Eater of Worlds and Searing Exarch influences, you’ll be well on your way to unlocking powerful Voidstones, conquering the Atlas endgame, and amassing wealth in Path of Exile!
