This is an in-depth guide for the Ultimatum farming strategy that covers everything from Atlas Trees to Scarabs and Inscribed Ultimatums for Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur.
How to Farm Ultimatum
● 10 max waves (13 if buffed)
● Objectives: protect altar, kill enemies, survive, and conquer circles
● You can leave between stages. If you fail the encounter, you will lose everything.
How to Profit from Ultimatum
Catalysts
If there are no scarabs, they always appear at waves 4 and 8.
Inscribed
If there are no scarabs, always appear at wave 8+.
Profitable Catalysts
● Most cost little, but quantity > quality
● Prismatic and Fertile catalysts are good
How Inscribed Ultimatums Work
● Special map item
● Offer types:
A. Sacrifice unique for a unique
C. Double 1/2 stack of div cards
● You fail and lose items
Inscribed Tiers
Tier 0: 200% Life
Tier 1: 120% Life
Tier 2: 70% Life
Tier 3: 30% Life
Tier 4: no Life mods
Utilizing Tiers
● Sell 5 Inscribed to receive back a new random one.
● Sell Inscribed only of the same tier.
How to Profit from Bad Catalysts
● When rerolling, we target:
#1 prismatic
#2 fertile
● If you get one of them, stop and go for another stack
Maps that Work Best with Ultimatum
● Unstable Gulf Dunes Map: look for open space layouts, such as Mesa and Dunes.
● Chaos Depths Sepulchre Map: Sepulchre is an interesting option. Ultimatum there spawns close to the entrance.
Rerolling Maps
● Generally, quantity is not important unless you run a catalyst strategy.
● Is the tier 17 map better for Ultimatum? The difference is small and mostly isn't worth the hassle.
