I still cant find the hidden nodes in Delve. Please help. Pics included
|
I don't think I've ever found a hidden node (the ones you cant directly take the mine cart to) in Delve. I've found the occasional fractured wall with a couple of random chests, but I really want to be able to get to those sweet currency nodes that arent connected directly to the mine route.
https://imgur.com/gallery/vz8qmIa Thats the link to the pics of the map. First image shows that I've been to the 4 nodes I think could possibly lead to the currency node in the middle of the map. The second image shows the overhead maps combined into a single image. That makes it easy to see that I've explored EVERY possible nook that could be lead to the currency node. Images 3, 4, and 5 are the individual overhead maps. I've honestly spent 15 flares and 30 minutes trying to find that damn thing. Someone give me the secret of finding these things because I just dont get it. Last bumped on Mar 16, 2019, 10:14:16 PM

The node to the far right will connect to the hidden node on the right. You didn't explore that area well enough. The fractured walls can be a pretty good distance from the nearest node, so it might take several flares to get there. Just go as far as you can until you start to black out, then use another flare and keep going.
For the hidden node on the left, it's probably the starting node directly above where you are. If that's not it, it's probably the one to the far south-south-west of your location. |

The hidden nodes can be a complete pain to find. As harddaysnight mentions - you need to find the right side passage and go in quite far on most occasions before you encounter a fractured wall.
There is a great guide that explains the delve mines layout in the forum at https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2204851. Another mine related thread is this one (someone helped me out immensely) with some more examples of before and after. It isn't always the path you think it is - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2460193 ZiggyD (and others) have good (and short) guides on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7CYiro4CQY or this one, which is longer, if you want to farm in delve - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7mj5q8iYUc IMHO the hidden stashes don't really give you much extra. They are a huge time sink unless you can speed run. |

This shows the possibilities.

" Be careful, some of the nodes you show as possible are blocked by paths, making them impossible. People need to remember that, if all else fails, 1-path nodes can actually be a hidden 2-paths node. It's just super rare. |
|
|
Also, a 1 path dead end, CAN HAVE 2 hidden paths, making it a 3 path node.
That box at the bottom, with 2 hidden currency nodes at each side, is something i would 100% check. |

The Rule is :
A node can have 1 or 3 or 4 connections but not 2. So if you see a node connected only to 2 connections, he might have a Wall close to the 2other directions. Also node with 3 connections can have 4. And dead end with 1connections remains at one (unless i guess some very rare cases where they are in fact connected to 2 hidden path too. |

@Bakudan
Still not quite right. Normally a node have 1, 2 or 4 nodes. However, and that's a big however that many people after two leagues still get it wrong, a node can have 2 paths and 2 paths only. They are just very very rare, so it's always best to assume that they are hiding a wall or two. It isn't impossible at all. Same with single path nodes having a hidden wall, making them 2-paths nodes. |
