Bestiary Boss Rush

Introduction

Warning: This guide assumes you know how to farm Bestiary, Essence, and Eldritch Altars.

The Bestiary Boss Rush currency strategy combines multiple low impact mechanics to quickly clear as many maps; and Blight encounters as possible.

• Bestiary Content awards Beasts which can be stored in Bestiary Orbs and sold to other players. With the new crucible trees being able to be split, Fenumal Plagued Arachnid is sure to be valuable and Craicic Chimerals saw a huge spike in price last league due to the crafting meta which is sticking around this league making this a very profitable strategy.

• Boss Rushing Content relies on rapidly clearing map bosses to receive Influenced maps, Synthesis maps and Maven Invitations. It also means you can see the league mechanic more frequently as you'll be spending little to no time between them.

Requirements

• Bestiary - Itself does not have intense gear requirements, however when combined with Essence it can produce some incredibly dangerous and tanky mobs. If your build does not have adequate damage to deal with those mobs use the variant atlas passive tree.
• Bossrushing - given the nature of Boss Rushing you should have a build that is capable of quickly traversing maps in order to clear them quickly.

Set-Up

PRO TIP: When setting up to run this strategy it is recommended that you purchase enough materials to complete a sizeable set of maps, failing to do this will make selling your drops far more difficult and you'll constantly be trading to purchase additional materials.

Map Choice

The best map for Bestiary Boss Rushing is Coves Map as you can use an Orb of Horizons to transform any Tier 16 map into it. This map is very small meaning it's easy to find all the beasts and quickly kill the boss.

Map suggestions will be updated when the atlas is revealed

Map Device

• Eldritch Influence: Searing Exarch
• Essence - 3 Chaos Orbs; Map contains 3 additional Essence Monsters.

Compasses

Apply the Mandatory compasses to your voidstones, consider using some of the high budget compass if you can afford them and your build is capable of them.

Fragments

Select a fragment set-up based on your desired investment level.

Atlas Passive Tree

Bestiary passives apply a chance for beasts found within the map to be duplicated. Combined with the compass this can result some very lucky results. They also increase the chance that you find rarer beasts via Natural Selection and The Hunt for Craiceann to hunt for Craicic Chimerals.

Eldritch Altars provide a constant flow of currency items.

Essence passives increase the tier of the Essences you find. It also causes Essence monsters containing a Shrieking Essence to be duplicated.

Map Duplication - The remainder of the nodes should be allocated to map duplication chance in order to over sustain your maps, meaning you can sell the excess.

Gameplay

Rolling Maps

1. Clean Your Maps - Ensure all of your maps are identified and then use an Orb of Scouring to make them all normal rarity, since achieving 20% quality on white maps requires significantly less Cartographer's Chisels.

2. Chiseling - Use Cartographer's Chisels on all of your maps until each one is 20% quality.

3. Alchemy Orbs - Use Orbs of Alchemy on every map you have at 20% quality. Re-roll maps your character cannot run using Orb of Scouring and Orb of Alchemy.

4. Vaal Orbs - Use Vaal Orbs on all of your appropriately rolled maps. Some maps may transform or receive new modifiers, so weed out any maps with modifiers your build cannot run or that are no longer on a favourable layout for Legion. On average using Vaal Orbs on high tiers maps is always worth it.

Running Maps

Pre-Map - Take in a stack of Remnant of Corruption.
Step 1 - Thoroughly clear the map capturing all Red Beasts you encounter.
Step 2 - Kill any Essences you encounter remember to use a Remnant of Corruption on monsters containing the following Essences.

Step 3 - Kill the Map Boss; reset.
