If you arent sure how to make the most of Archnemesis, were here to help.

If you havent cracked the recipes system yet, well walk you through it below.

Weve also broken these modifiers down into four tiers to help you parse them.

Archnemesis gameplay in Path Of Exile

To use a recipe and acquire a higher-tier modifier, just defeat an Archnemesis monster using all component modifiers.

For example, say I want to create a Frost Strider modifier.

The components are Frostweaver and Hasted.

Then, I insert a Hasted modifier in the next statue and hit activate.

This monster will have modifiers from both Frostweaver and Hasted.

However, there are a few combinations that are particularly powerful.

The first step of the Frost Strider recipe

The most popular of these uses Treant Horde plus various Touched modifiers to generate compounding rare rewards.

Start your Archnemesis off with Treant Horde.

This powerful modifier spawns Treant minions around the Archnemesis, each of which drops extra, random rewards.

The second step of the Frost Strider Recipe

Thankfully, we can fix that using either Innocence-touched, Shakari-touched, or Arakaali-touched.

Each of these forces all rewards from the Archnemesis to match their reward bang out.

Innocence-touched rewards currency, Shakari-touched rewards unique items, and Arakaali-touched rewards Divination Cards.

Next, use Brine-King touched.

This exceptionally-powerful modifier rerolls all rewards six times, then drops the rarest options.

This will heavily weight your Archnemesis drops towards the rarest possibilities.

Finally, use either Tukohama-touched or Abberath-touched to reroll rewards another four times.

you’re able to also use Kitava-touched to double to total rewards.

However, youll lose those valuable rerolls.

Combining all of these modifiers creates a massive amount of rare loot.

Creating all of these components will take a long time, but the eventual payoff is well worth it.

Arakaali-touched is probably the weakest option.

As it stands, there isn’t enough data to draw a definitive conclusion.

Thats everything you oughta cash in on the Archnemesis mechanic!
