Corruption Altar Location
Vaal Ruins During Act 3
You can find Corruption Altars during Act 3 at the Vaal Ruins. They are not marked on the maps so you'll have to explore around to find the altars yourself. Remember that this mechanic can only be used once, so choose wisely!
How to Use the Corruption Altar
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.
Works the Same as 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.
