TL;DR
Path of Exile 2 Hotfix 10 changes when the Vessel of Kulemak fight awards Abyss Atlas Passives and fixes two drop-related bugs: Unearthed Expedition monsters not dropping Expedition Tablets and Journey to the East not dropping.
What Changed
- The Vessel of Kulemak fight now grants Abyss Atlas Passives when the map is completed by either:
- taking the ring, or
- defeating the final form of the boss
- This reward now happens on map completion instead of on the first boss death.
- Fixed a bug where Unearthed Expedition monsters could not drop Expedition Tablets.
- Fixed a bug introduced in 0.5.5 that prevented Journey to the East from dropping.
Patch Impact
- The hotfix affects Vessel of Kulemak completion rewards, Unearthed Expedition tablet drops, and Journey to the East drop availability.
- Players should now receive Abyss Atlas Passives at the end of a completed Vessel of Kulemak map, and the two drop-related bugs are fixed.
- No immediate action is explicitly supported by the evidence.
Who Is Affected
- Players running the Vessel of Kulemak fight.
- Players engaging with Unearthed Expedition monsters.
- Players looking for Journey to the East.
- No other specific affected entity is identified in the supplied evidence.
What Players Should Do
- If you are completing Vessel of Kulemak, expect Abyss Atlas Passives to be granted only after the map is completed through the supported completion conditions.
- Players affected by the Expedition Tablet or Journey to the East issues should verify drops after the hotfix.
- No immediate action is otherwise confirmed.
Compared With Previous Patch
A verified comparison is unavailable beyond the supplied previous revision text. The current and previous revision evidence contain the same hotfix notes, so no additional change between revisions is supported by the evidence.
Player Impact
- Supported fact: Vessel of Kulemak now ties Abyss Atlas Passive rewards to full map completion rather than the first boss death.
- Supported fact: Expedition Tablet drops from Unearthed Expedition monsters and Journey to the East drops should now work as intended.
- Cautious implication: players who previously completed Vessel of Kulemak through an earlier boss death may notice the reward timing has changed.
- Cautious implication: players who were blocked from Expedition Tablet or Journey to the East drops should see those issues resolved after the hotfix.
