How to Unlock the Jade Isle Map

Once you finally spot the Jade Isle on your Atlas, you'll notice something unusual - the node is blocked by Path of Exile 2 Currency a swirling maelstrom. Unlike most maps, you can't just open it from your Map Device. To access it, you must break the Karui Beacon that powers the storm.

Here's how to do it step-by-step:

1. Locate the Adjacent Nodes

The Jade Isle will be linked to one or more surrounding maps. Begin by entering those connected nodes and clearing them completely.

2. Find the Karui Beacon

One of the adjacent maps will contain a Karui Beacon, a glowing red relic protected by Karui spirits. This beacon sustains the storm barrier over the island. Destroying it is the key to unlocking the Jade Isle Map.

3. Defeat the Boss Before Leaving

In some cases, the beacon only appears after you've defeated the map's main boss. Don't leave too early - wait a few seconds after victory to see if the beacon materializes.

4. Click to Destroy the Beacon

Interact with the beacon to shatter it, causing the storm around the Jade Isle to dissipate. The island will now be unlocked and available for exploration on your Atlas.

If you're lucky, your Jade Isle will be connected to just one node, making the process straightforward. However, if multiple maps link to the island, you may need to clear each one to locate the correct beacon.
