not gonna try...achievements like definitive deviation are like salt in the eyes.

I ran and won many, many sanctums and targeted merchants, fountains, afflictions, handshake deals... but the ones i need simply do not appear. Ohther than that it is just Delve for me, which is extremely easy but also extremely boring. So if i do not get the RNG Divinations first then i will not suffer thru delve either.

I'm not enjoyer of GGG being like "oh sure, you can block X mechanic from all your maps BUT you will never finish the challenges if you do"

Should've made challenges unrelated to doing things that people block with atlas passives.
Just make sure you have at least 3 minor afflictions on you, and prioritize pacts over everything, as they are the only source for major afflictions. If you have, use relics that reveal additional rooms to be able to plan ahead how to get more pacts per floor.

Merchants and fountains are kinda' working against you for this challenge, as you might be tempted to skip a pact room to make your run easier. To complete this challenge, you are required to make the run HARDER, not easier.


It is required to have at least 3 minor Afflictions to be able to get major Afflictions? That is good to know. Currently avoid random minor afflictions to avoid get something that will brick the run.

Tried, did nothing for me.....Sad~
Level 33 twink RF Jugg spamming City of Sarn definitely works. Still took a good number of sanctums but the major boon/affliction rate is infinitely higher than running T16 sanctums. Just de-level yourself whenever you hit lvl 34 and reset sanctums if you're a floor or two in and you don't have decent momentum / floor layout since the rewards of low lvl sanctums are trivial anyway. Once you have enough coins during a run to buy a few items from the next merchant just skip what you can in the rooms themselves to move faster.

Even with this target farming you can go dozens of floors without hitting any uncompleted major boons/afflictions and then get randomly lucky with 2 new completions in the same run.

Weird challenge. Definitely some sort of mistake was made with the design of this one.

40/40 !

Reliquary zone is better than ossuary because it's smaller , and no level restriction too.


Thanks for this info!!! used this and got my last 2 boons/afflictions in 1,5 sanctums!
Average floor access farming was 5-7min (+sanctum itself) - and absolutely free! :)
I am stuck at 8/17 on the Definitive Deviaton challange.

now im grinded 4 Sanctums to get from 7/17 to 8/17.

My last run i got the Crystal Chalice one. on floor one room 3.

i literally only went to shrines and pacts. Most Major Boons i get i already had once. Just a bad designed challange.
Grindy and RNG based.

Idk if i even will go for 40/40 if this stays this way the next 2-3 whole sanctums. cause than ill be 39/40
Finally i'm done and reporting in !!
Woohoo sure it feels good to be release from that endless sanctum run hunting for major afflictions....
Vegemite. Y/N?

Still fighting with "Definitive Deviation" .
Taking all pacts , afflictions, can't get the missing major affl.


I am on 39 missing this one i gave up its idiotic how rare they are
I've only had 2 synthesis maps drop the entire league so i'm kinda stuck on that one (one was a cortex too) and I really don't think I can clear sim 30 so i'm kinda stuck at 38.

Will say definitive deviation was still the 3rd to last one I completed obviously, I was on 14/17 for 3 weeks without seeing any of the relevant modifiers and I did the right strat the entire time.
