Acton’s Nightmare: How to Complete

Acton’s Nightmare is a unique map in Path of Exile that can be quite tricky to complete. Many players report not getting the atlas completion despite sweeping the instance twice over and clicking the chest at the end, indicating that this map can be bugged. However, with a bit of patience and skill, Acton’s Nightmare can be completed. This guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to complete the Acton’s Nightmare map in Path of Exile.

Understanding the Modifiers

Acton’s Nightmare has its unique modifiers, Restless Dead and Undead Monsters resurrect after 10 seconds, which means that monsters will come back to life 10 seconds after being killed. To avoid being overwhelmed by the resurrecting monsters, make sure to kill the bosses Thorn and Rose, who can resurrect any monster to life and even resurrect each other.

Preparing for the Map

Before heading into the map, make sure to have the appropriate build, gear, and skillset for your playstyle. It’s also essential to have sufficient life and chaos resistance, as the ground effect of this map deals 16,000 fire damage per 10 seconds and can be deadly.

Map Tips

• Move quickly and avoid standing in one spot as much as possible to dodge the ground effect.
• Save area of effect spells for when the bosses Thorn and Rose are present to prevent them from resurrecting each other or other monsters.
• Be sure to bring a stash tab to store valuable items as this map drops a lot of loot.
• Be aware of the patched of Burning Ground which have ground effect per 100 tiles

Encounters and Bosses

The bosses Thorn and Rose can be quite challenging to defeat unless you know how to handle them. Thorn and Rose are two unique necromancers who can resurrect any monster to life, including each other. To defeat them:

• Focus on taking out one of the bosses first while avoiding the ground effect.
• Use area of effect spells to keep them both damaged and prevent them from resurrecting.
• Once one boss is laying low, focus all attention on the other one, then return to the first oneuntil both are down.
• Once the bosses are down, continue to clear the map swiftly, ensuring that all monsters are killed within their 10-second resurrection timer.

Completing the Map

To complete the Acton’s Nightmare map, make sure all monsters are killed, including the bosses, and remove all accessible corpses to prevent any monster from being resurrected. Once the map is cleared, click on the chest at the end, and the atlas completion should register.

With patience and skill, you can defeat the bosses and clear the map, ensuring that you get your atlas completion.
