How to Use Corruption Altars

Grab the Triangle from the Altar and Place on Item

After clicking on a Corruption Altar, a menu pops up with a triangle-shaped object in the middle. Click on the triangle to grab it and then drop it on an item in your inventory to corrupt the selected item.

Corrupting an item modifies its properties randomly and prevents the item from being modified again. So corrupting items should be the last step when modifying your items via crafting.

POE 2 - Vaal Orbs

Corruption Altars work exactly like Vaal Orbs that can be obtained in the Trial of Chaos, except you can only find them as interactables in the game world.
