Themed Hideout Competition Submission Thread!

The Iron Islands of Wraeclast

League: Standard
Character: Aryatheshewolf

Upon entering my hideout you are loaded into safety. A dinning table and housing district in view with a Catapult defending the Coastal Hideout on the shore side and on the left side a shrine / graveyard of past kings that have ruled.



Heading down toward the coast is the market place and to the right is the barracks with vorici standing guard at the gate



The gate area was just under attack with men who lost there lives fighting courageously to their deaths. Around the outer walls spikes and piles of enemy's are stacked to warn those who dare attack.



The shore line is storming and gives another warning to not attack with enemy's hanging in bits and pieces.




The Ghost ship is from a previous attack and is said to be haunted as you can see ghost swarming around with a greenish glow...




Back up in the housing district corner area is the blacksmiths area with an anvil, fire place, and workbenches to keep the armory up to date.




The Throne Room Aka Map Device is where the king or in this case Queen Aryatheshewolf resides.



Lastly the Shrine behind the throne that the Queen prays to for upgrades and the urns of ashes that she holds dear to her Heart.

I call this The Pirates' Booty
It's not complete still have the lower level to do, but it's a lot of Zana rep..

Exiles Misery : Elreon hideout
This hideout was originally intended to be made way back in torment league; however, after realizing it was a temp league I decided to create it on standard league with the "torment" aspect still as the main theme. The vast majority of what's currently in the hideout was made in standard during the time that torment was still around for any confusion.


With fishing poles hanging over the waypoint they resemble the exiles being swoon towards the hideout like a moth to a flame. Fishing for ripe young exiles upon arrival you find yourself in a crumbling lair with bugs, the weta pets, leeches, and rotting carcasses of the previous exiles. Ultimately it's a trap soon to be discovered.



Moving downward you will notice Leo standing there next to the stash. He is set there as a warning with a burning stash sitting next to him he "asks," "Fight or be prepared to burn all your belongings, for this is not a place for man. Fight to your hearts content in the arena for it is your only escape from this hell." If you look to the top left you can see what is left of the previous exile with flies in his face laying down in his "throne" he can move no longer. It's a pity I have to walk over him every time I need to change the colour of my sockets. (I will admit it makes me laugh at times)



Leading upwards you find the torcher room. You can only imagine what happens in here with the iron maiden, saw, and body parts laying about the floor next to the insects.



Leading upwards to the next room you finally see where all the bodies are disposed of in the corner. Here, you can also see a soldier that burned himself to death to escape the "Misery" he was faced with.



Continuing onward to the core of everything. North-West in the hideout from the burned soldier you find Catarina. She is the cause of everything with a plague like mist around her lair. With the tombstones of past exiles next to her and some of their rotting corpses infront of her you are forced by a curse to eat, sleep, and weep for her soul as your journey through wreaclast is halted leaving you to train your body through an endless slaughter of maps.



Going back to the right of the burned soldier and pile of corpses you reach the meeting room. Here a women with a child is left to care for her child on her own. She is the previous exiles women (The one next to the artisans workbench). Haku and elreon are trapped here; however, elreon has once broken out of his cage to bless the "women" next to him as his wife. Punished by Catarina, elreon's maiden was turned to stone and he was swept of his vision leaving him with only "black eyes."



Moving through the archway you will find yourself in the bedroom area. To the left is where the people of this putrid site sleep, and to the right a cocoon. This cocoon is a seal holding in zana as she has the power to bring people out of the "prison" like hideout to a random new area. sealed in here she can only release you once per day. If you look closely you can see a man who happened to get his leg caught in the seal casted on zana leaving him trapped there with her.



Lastly, you will find yourself continuing onward toward the map device. With portals as cold as ice, the previous exile states you can almost feel your soul sucked out everytime you pass through in order to serve Catarina.


Hope some people enjoyed the hideout. Infact I still have plans to make Catarina's room more emphasized as she is the center of everything going on in the hideout. I still have to get a master to level 8 for their decorations first. In terms of who that master is I will keep a secret and hopefully submit this on h/o forum when done.

Hideout looks alot better when you walk in it, i am still working on it and im miss 2 0000 000 valor point to completly finish it (its still temp league and i dont have that amount of time ). I wuld like to explain what i had in mind but i english is not my best side.... Also i think 8 screenshot is low amount to get full vision of hideout, I am hope you guys will enjoy it :)

Hi, people first i want to apologise if something is not well written,English is not my native language.
This is my Enlightened Hideout made in Softcore league,i made it long time ago and yesterday just added few more things out of my imagination.Also it is not so ornate.


So let's begin!

This is first of room "Drunk Old Masters Cellar"
I have used ghostly fog and torches to daken the atmosphere.Another interesting thing that is not seen from picture,that the room is full of flies.
As you can see it is full of wine barrels and old scrolls.Two old friends sharing their suffering.
I like their company,you know drunk people share interesting things about their life,secrets and knowledg.


This is my treasury,represents my welfare.With knowledge collected from friends,masters and books.
Here i used statues and treasure themed decorations along with ornate chairs and tables for better view.



This is the main room where I spend almost all my free time reading books, studying magic and implementation.Аs you can see full with scattered books on the shelves, desks and tables.a small exhibition hall on the left.
Here i used mostly glowing embers and scattered books along with study desk and messy study table.


This is entrance to my room of rest,which i share with the pleasant company of friends.


And here is the room itself,also full of shelfs with books and scrolls.Be cause we love Enlightenment!
Here i started with red carpet,dining table and haning lamps.Thenk added pile of books few standing lamps,beds and chairs along with palms in each nook.

I thought let's play a game: In this coastal hideout - the witch is hiding behind somewhere and it is your objective to find her. Can you spot her?

Hint: (do not use the globes to try and cheat/center the position. First screenshot obviously you can see the witch. Good luck finding her!

League: Standard.

There once was a strange culture living on a small island in a long forgotten time.
When they died all was lost and no one will ever know what they were doing there.
Trees and all kinds of plants hide the rest of their ruins.

They might have gotten to that island with big ships:

Nowadays you can meet strange people there, exploring this magic place:

They seem to have worshipped big cats (although they had no internet):

A magic fountain seems to be still intact:

From time to time in a long decayed tower strange portals to hidden worlds pop up:

So I made a Chernobyl themed hideout.

Why I named it Chernobyl? Because the radiation is no longer deadly, just enough harmful to keep human away. So all towns and villages around it are uninhabited and totally overgrown with plants, from above it looks like a forest with buildings between the trees.


This is a view from waypoint. There are trees in all corners and the concrete is overgrown with small plants. The skeletal expositions shows what radiation can do to foetus development.


The crafting corner. A rug full of herbicide allows working there. Walking around the lab keeps the vegetation short. The walls are almost invisible because of the vegetation.


I don't like Catarina's voice, so her corner is not much visited. As a result, it's completely overgrown with bushes. Visitors often accuse me of growing marijuana there, but I am an opponent of the legalisation and I do not want to sell weed full of radioisotopes.


The abandoned buildings are barely visible due to the lush vegetation. I rarely ever go there, but sometimes I have to make sure that squatters with incinerate gems do not settle there.


In my case, the cause of the radiation is Elreon. The red aura of deionising gas has shown the culprit. Also, the the radiation near him is strong enough to be lethal to plants too close to him. He smiteth the wicked with nukes.

Though not very visible, it is a battle-scarred hideout. I have it on Standard. It helped me to discover that the maximum number of decorations in a hideout is 750.

Hi everyone, I invested a lot of time building my Hideout this season, so I want to throw it in. It's meant to be an occult, dark Fort in the forest as a home to my summoner. It's only medium texture quality, cant put it to 'high'.

Character: EintrachtPruegel
League: Warbands
Theme: Occult Forest Fortress, Elreon Hideout


The WP is surrounded by three huge trees. Pentagram is made of Metal beams on Stone pieces, served with some severed heads.


Katharina has her hut nearby, the whole area is quite foggy and some blown leaves are flying around.


Voricis Chamber, where blood is extracted from creatures. Depleted corpses are impaled on a pole. I had a Wide Light Beam and thought it would fit well here.


Overgrown Path leading to the RNGsus Room.


The Treasure Room, RNGsus.


Room with Stashes close to the map device, some crafting tools in the lower room.


Open portals in the map room


Map Room closeup. Burning Skull as a map device with corruption. On each portal position there is a hanging corpse.

I play on a very large Resolution so Going to the "Imgur" links you will get a better view.

The first area you come across in my den is a warped portal. It is being held down by restraints because of its immense power. http://imgur.com/w16Y0Y7


The next area is a covered passage to the map device. http://imgur.com/AiuSQUb


After you exit the covered passage you arrive at the map device. This area is very detailed area with weapons and gear, still fresh from the maps you have conquered that day.http://imgur.com/PWtTklN


After leaving the map device through the lower entrance, you'll see it's a bit wet out!http://imgur.com/PQObZgd


Then when you go back into the covered passage and down you come to a small garden with a golden cage full of the most beautiful firefly's. Oh look at the carriage parking must be used for transportation:)http://imgur.com/8ko2dXs


Going back to the portal room and you go up you will enter the main house where there are crafting benches.http://imgur.com/vA1dmWP


Just a little further and you will get to a reading corner where you can brush up on tactics with the one and only Leo! (He loves this room since he's next to the Lions)http://imgur.com/ErDZTDJ


Then into the final room between the Two Lions is The Great Throne Room. Where a powerful but just ruler commands "The well Endowed" https://www.pathofexile.com/guild/profile/107372 and the link to the Picture http://imgur.com/haJFje0
