Unique maps are hidden in different corners of the vast Atlas in Path of Exile 2. These maps work differently than the rest of the nodes present in the Atlas. Unique maps have specific modifiers of their own, making them completely different in terms of objectives, rewards, or sometimes even the EXP that a character can gain.

At the time of writing this article (January 2025), there are four unique maps that players can randomly come across while exploring the Atlas. These maps include a random hideout for the players, Untainted Paradise, Moment of Zen, and Vaults of Kamasa.

Similar to any other map node, a unique map can be accessed via any tier of Waystone. The modifiers of these Waystones will directly affect the monsters and loot present within, stacking on top of the existing unique modifiers.

All Path of Exile 2 unique maps explained

As mentioned, four unique maps have been discovered by the community so far. They are as follows:

Hideout for players
Untainted Paradise
Moment of Zen
Vaults of Kamasa

Those familiar with unique maps in Path of Exile 1 would already know how these work. Each of these maps has a different 'function' for players, aside from the usual mob groups and bosses in normal maps.

Hideouts:

Hideouts can be found in the huge Atlas system. Look for the blue icon on top of a node and run it by using a Waystone.

Make sure to put in a low-tier Waystone, as Hideout tilesets are usually small, and enemies are fewer in number. Once you clear out this map, the Hideout will be added to your line-up, and you can swap Hideouts anytime by speaking with Alva. Currently, there are four Hideout maps in Path of Exile 2 early access.

Untainted Paradise:

Untainted Paradise can usually be found near the coastal regions of the Atlas map, with an orange icon on top of the node.

Here, the unique modifier is that it grants increased experience from killing monsters present on the map. However, these monsters will not drop any loot. You can further enhance the EXP gain by adding in a Waystone with an "increased experience" modifier.

Moment of Zen:

Moment of Zen can be identified by the "merchant pouch" icon on top of the node.

As the icon suggests, you will encounter the Nameless Seer on this map, a merchant who sells a random unique item for free.

The moment you acquire one unique, the rest will be locked. To get another unique, you will have to find a Moment of Zen map on the Atlas again.

Vaults of Kamasa:

Vaults of Kamasa, not to be confused with the Reliquary Vault, is a unique map that can be identified by the orange icon, the same as the Untainted Paradise.

There are no enemies on this map. Hence, you can explore and open up different vaults for loot. You can also put in a high-tier Waystone with increased rarity and quantity modifier to further enhance the drops from vaults.
