Runes of Aldur

Runes of Aldur league is an Early Access temporary league. It launched on May 29, 2026 as part of Path of Exile 2: Return of the Ancients expansion in version 0.5.0.

League content

Players will encounter Farrow, who is studying the runes inscribed into Remnants. These remnants can be inscribed with a runeshape combination to activate them, causing it to raise monsters from the dead and empowering them. Different combinations of runes will empower the risen monsters in various ways and affect the reward granted by the encounter. Remnants with a capacity for longer runeshape combinations allows for greater challenges and greater rewards.

Remnants can contain Verisium, which is used in Runeforging to alter equipment in new ways. Runeforging an armour will add or convert some of its defence values into Runic Ward, a special type of defence that absorbs damage to protect you from death if your life falls below 1. Once unlocked, Runeforging can be performed on low level unique items to improve their base damage or defense values.

Different runeshape combinations allow for the creation of a wide range of items, such as Kalguuran gem, which have no attribute requirements and use Ward as their skill cost or scale with Runic Ward in some way, exclusive runes, alloys that add a crafted modifier to equipment, or fluxes that alter an item's resistances.

Remnants can also be found in Expedition encounters, adding its effects to each subsequent explosion in the chain.

Season Omens

Omens are a type of currency items. Activating an omen will guarantee a specified outcome when its condition is met, such as a guaranteed crafting outcome or an effect on the player character. Once triggered, the omen is consumed. Most omens are obtained from Ritual encounters, but some omens come from other content.

To use an omen, right-click to activate it. While it remains in the player's inventory, the activated omen will be consumed when the relevant condition is met. It is possible to have multiple related omens active at a time (e.g., an Omen of Sinistral Annulment and an Omen of Greater Annulment can be used together to remove two prefix modifiers). However, activating an omen while another, non-related omen is active may deactivate the old one.

Only one non-crafting omen can be used per area instance. Crafting omens can be used multiple times per instance, and different omen effects can be stacked, though they will typically prevent the craft if one or more omens are invalid combinations.

A Reforging Bench is a crafting bench that allows three items of the same base type to be destroyed, creating a new item with similar properties. This process is colloquially referred to as "3-to-1".

Expedition Rewards

Expedition is a type of encounter. An Expedition encounter will task the player with placing a chain of explosives over a Kalguuran burial site to unearth lost artifacts and monsters.

Using an Expedition Logbook, you can chart out islands to the ocean to find new areas to perform more Expeditions, including larger Grand Expeditions.

Expedition has been temporarily disabled in permanent leagues for the duration of Runes of Aldur league.

Encounter

In maps containing an Expedition encounter, you will find a a detonator surrounded by multiple markers and remnants. The player will be given a limited number of explosives to place down. The explosives must be placed within a certain distance from the detonator or the previously placed explosive. Each explosive will have a radius indicated with a green circle which shows what markers come under its effect. After planting the explosives, the player may press the detonator to start the chain of explosives, unearthing different things at various markers in the vicinity of the explosions. Once most of the monsters that was summoned by the explosion is killed, the next explosive in the chain will be detonated.

There are four Markers that indicate three possible interactions to occur during the explosion:

  • Chests: Markers with the Triskelion banner unearth chests that contain random items. The rarity of the chest is indicated by the color of the associated marker.
  • Monsters: Monster markers, indicated with a double red flag, unearth monsters. The size of the marker indicates their rarity.
  • Remnants: Large chunks of Verisium inscribed with runes. When detonated, remnants summons waves of monsters empowered by runes.

In high tier maps with Face the Past allocated, Expedition encounters have a chance to spawn an an underground area called the Tomb of the Fallen Knight. The area contains the boss Styrn, Fallen Knight of Aldur.

Remnants

Remnants empower monsters unearthed by the explosion and in subsequent explosions. Before detonating a remnant, they must be inscribed with runes to form a runeshape combination, the available options depending on the number of slots and the rune that's already been inscribed to it; if detonated without choosing a runeshape combination, it will select one randomly. Each inscribed rune adds an additional effect to unearthed monsters, and the specific runeshape combination determines the reward that can be collected from the remnant once all the monsters it summons has been killed.

Once detonated, the remnant will summon waves of monsters, the number of which depending on the length of the runeshape combination. The summoned monsters will be empowered by the runes on the remnant, gaining more of its runes after each wave. Once all waves have been cleared, the remnant can be shattered to collect its rewards. The remnant will drop a specific reward determined by its runeshape combination.

Each detonated remnant will apply the effects of a random rune in its runeshape combination to monsters unearthed by subsequent explosions.

Rune empowered monsters can drop currencies used for Runeforging.

Grand Expedition

Grand Expeditions are a special type of Expedition encounters that can be found in the ocean areas revealed by an Expedition LogbookExpedition LogbookReveals an Ocean Biome on the AtlasConsumed via the Atlas at a Logbook Expedition node.

Along with the usual markers from regular Expeditions, they will contain additional interactables that can be blown up summon special monsters, modify subsequent explosions, or reveal hidden areas.
