Obtaining the Vial of Dominance

Vials, including the Vial of Dominance, are rare drops that can only be obtained from The Vaal Omnitect, the final boss within the Temple of Atzoatl. It is possible for the Vaal Omnitect to drop multiple vials in a single encounter, making it a key target for players seeking these valuable upgrade items.

Rooms that Increase Vial Drop Chances

The chances of the Vial of Dominance dropping can be significantly enhanced by upgrading specific rooms within the Temple of Atzoatl:

  • Trap Workshop: Increases the drop chance of the Vial of Dominance. The datamined value associated with this room is 265.
  • Temple Defense Workshop: Further increases the drop chance, with a value of 539.
  • Defense Research Lab: Provides the highest increase in drop chance for the Vial of Dominance, with a value of 804.

These rooms can be strategically constructed and upgraded during Incursion encounters to maximize the potential for obtaining the Vial of Dominance.

Using the Vial of Dominance

To use the Vial of Dominance, players need to follow these steps:

  1. Acquire Architect’s Hand: This unique pair of gloves must be in your possession.

2. Locate the Altar of Sacrifice: The Altar of Sacrifice is found in the Apex of Ascension, a level 3 room within the Temple of Atzoatl. This room is an upgraded version of the Sacrificial Chamber and Hall of Offerings.

3. Place Items in the Altar: Place Architect’s Hand and the Vial of Dominance into the Altar of Sacrifice.

4. Upgrade the Item: The Altar will consume both the vial and the unique item, upgrading Architect’s Hand into Slavedriver’s Hand.

Mechanics of Upgrading

  • Always Upgrades to the Current Version: The Altar of Sacrifice will upgrade the item to the most current version, regardless of whether the sacrificed item was a legacy version.
  • Item Level Retention: The item level of the upgraded item will be the same as that of the sacrificed item.
  • Quality, Enchantments, and Modifiers: These attributes are not retained during the upgrade process. The resulting item will have its default values for these properties.
  • Corrupted Items: You can sacrifice a corrupted item at the Altar, but the upgraded item will not be corrupted unless the original item was already corrupted.
