T15 maps are basically the end of the tutorial ;P

There is fully juiced maps with 3-4 tablets.

There is 200% delirium.

There is abyssal pits with the mod that mods get harder for every closed pit.

There are high juiced expeditions.

Nothing wrong with using a guide. Clearing 4 mod maps is significantly easier than 6 mod maps or corrupted t15s with 8 mods. T16 is also more challenging. You can also use tablets that add 1-2 mods each, which makes the map ridiculously more challenging. If you interact with delirium, you can also make your maps 200% delirious which makes monster 3 times stronger in terms of their hp. So I would say there is still plenty you can try. Outside of maps, you can run grand expeditions which do become very challenging and you can also try simulacrum which is quite difficult but not as bad as other end game contents. Another fun challenge is to level up your character as close as possible to 100. Often 98->100 is very challenging since each death sets you back big time. So you would need perfect equipment.

Nobody has said anything about the atlas tree yet so keep in mind you should max out your atlas tree ASAP as this will boost the challenge of each map with more monsters.

To do this simply run the arbiter of divinity 5 or 6 times to quickly get all the points, this costs like 20ish divine orbs atm but it’s definitely worth to spend the currency for this.

On another note, if you still want a greater challenge you should try playing SSF or even HCSSF, this will lock you out of trading with other players so every single gear upgrade has to be either dropped or crafted by you, completely different game experience imo, tho if you really want to say clear all content on SSF be prepared for a lot of grinding

t16 waystone, %200 percent delirium and ANY LEAGUE Content

OR

Juice up your expeditions

I think you should really ignore the people who want you to try 200% deli first. What you should be doing is progressing your atlas and then follow your progression to kill arbiter of ash and divinity. That way you’ll feel more challenged. 200% deli is a lot more of a difficulty spike. Once you’ve unlocked a decent amount of atlas you can then choose what league mechanic you like. And if you really want to get something challenging then you should be trying the 200% deli content. The hardest content is juiced up expedition. Although I would say you should progress accordingly and test waters.

Other people have said it but it bears repeating since you’re from a different game: bosses aren’t the hardest content in PoE 2. Mobs of rare monsters from 200% delirium + other mechanic T16 maps are. Or rare monsters from Expeditions with +2 map mod tablets and chaining all the remnants. Got one-shot by one this morning, first time dying in three weeks.

T16 with as much effectiveness as you can run. I have been doing 200% deli city maps with 1 irradiated and 3 abyss. If every tablet has effectiveness and the map has a bunch you will find a very deadly map.

Tier 16 200% delirious 4 tab max rolled city maps are the hardest. Focus on ritual and breach rn(?)

Alch, exalt, exalt, vaal. This can give + or -1 one map tier, and also has the possibility of giving 2 more mods to the map. 6 mod corrupted t15s are okay, throw the tier 14s in the trash, 8 mod t15s and t16s are the best ones to run. Use 3 tablets, pick whichever mechanic you enjoy the most, I like abyss for just giving you a ton of extra packs without much else friction, use rare tablets, buy them if you can’t craft them yet (the atlas tree lets you put extra affixes on them). I buy tablets specifically with % experience gained and % effectiveness (which translates to MF and experience gain), those are pretty cheap but have a big effect.

Try stacking monster effectiveness on your waystones and tablets. You can get well over 100% effectiveness and then you can add that on top of a 200% delirium city map with 4 tablets like abyss or breach. Extremely tanky enemies with a lot of monster density. You can run t16 waystones and other atlas master passives for even more difficulty.

You can also do grand expeditions and try to transfer as much monster rarity and monster modifier runes over as possible, you’ll start running into mobs with significantly more effective hp than the pinnacle bosses.

Lots and lots of extremely challenging content that can’t easily be outscaled with an average build, you’ll really need to min max everything to comfortably clear these sorts of things.

Try 200% Deli with T16 Waystones, and if you want something even harder, go for fully juiced Grand Expeditions. Currently juiced Grand Expeditions are the hardest content in game. But there is an Oath rune bug though since last patch, which can brick some Expeditions sadly due to non-spawning minions by a invulnerable crab (sometimes). Regular T15 maps can be done with budget gear worth a Div a piece with any half decent build.

High juiced expedition is probably where you’ll get the harder content.

Basically, you go T16 full juiced, Granbd expedition, and your proliferate the runes for each remnant, until the monsters are almost unkillable.

Also, use tablets with +2 random mods to the maps, for a 11-12 mod map

Btw I’m also using storm wave. I’m not following any guides but this build was known since patch 0.1 so it is very generic. Here is my profile just in case it is helpful:

why the downvote guys?

Does it have 3 things on it?

Mans clearing T15 with just a few exalts worth of gear. Jesus I’m so bad at this game. I’m wearing 10 divs of gear and still dying on T15 lmao 

I scrolled through the comments abit and didnt see anyone else mention alternative goals to difficulty.

You can complete the 8 league challenges in order to get the free MTX cosmetic armour set. This exists every league and will guide you through more of the endgame and make it less directionless. Also can be done while pursuing the difficulty.

Farming/crafting/selling to fund more builds.

A personal thing i do with my main character each league is kill every single boss in the game at least once. There are quite a few and requires participating in every mechanic up to a certain point.

Just some ideas to make the endgame more interesting.

What kind of tablets are you using? Also use exalts on the maps. You want 0 revives available for the hardest maps.

Natural next step is 6 mods by exalting and then vaal orb to corrupt.

That or adding a delirium tablet and after that creating delirium fog

Some of the masters has mods that increase effect of mods on waystones/tablets that also increases difficulty slightly

Oh sweet summer child.
