With all the new additions that made their way to Path of Exile in its Siege of the Atlas expansion, it would almost be easy to forget that update 3.17 also brought the start of the new Archnemesis challenge league. The main mechanic involved in Archnemesis — slotting modifiers into petrified monsters and reaping the rewards — is simple enough. But not every modifier will drop on its own, and not every combination produces a straightforward result. Most of the modifiers are the result of special recipes, and the modifiers created this way tend to have the most powerful effects. However, there is no recipe list in the game itself, only a vague hint system that highlights possible combinations.
Below is a complete list of Archnemesis modifier recipes. The rewards for each modifier are listed in parentheses. When “Rolls” are listed as a reward, this means that the rewards are rolled the indicated number of times, with the rarest results being used. Ingredients can be used in any order.
