Attention Exiles! The highly anticipated Path of Exile Synthesis Flashback event launches shortly, running from Saturday, May 11th through Tuesday, June 4th. This special event brings back beloved mechanics from previous leagues while maintaining your current progression.
This Flashback operates concurrently with the Synthesis Challenge League, allowing you to continue advancing your challenge objectives without interruption. The event incorporates rotating modifiers drawn from eleven celebrated past Path of Exile leagues, offering substantial rewards including exclusive Mystery Boxes, premium microtransactions, prestigious Demigod’s Immortality items, and ultimate bragging rights.
Event Details
The Flashback Event introduces a dynamic three-mod system where random combinations from past leagues activate simultaneously in each area. These modifier sets remain fixed for one-hour intervals before cycling to new random configurations, creating constantly shifting gameplay dynamics.
Crucially, every area maintains full Synthesis League functionality alongside the Flashback modifiers. This dual-system approach ensures you can pursue both Flashback rewards and complete your Synthesis challenge objectives simultaneously.
The rotating nature of these mechanics encourages strategic area selection based on current active mods. Experienced players often track mod rotations to target specific league mechanics that complement their build strengths.
Available league modifiers appearing alongside Synthesis include: Breach, Ambush, Anarchy, Invasion, Nemesis, Bloodlines, Torment, Perandus, Beyond, Abyss, and Harbinger. Standard Betrayal, Delve, and Incursion content remains available at their normal occurrence rates throughout the event.
When these modifiers activate in an area, you’ll encounter specific quantities:
3 × Rare Monster Packs with Nemesis Mods
3 × Magic Monster Packs with Bloodlines
1 × Abyss
2 × Harbingers
2 × Rogue Exiles
2 × Invasion Bosses
1 × Breach
2 × Strongboxes
3 × Tormented Spirits
2 × Perandus Chests and a 33% chance to spawn Cadiro Beyond
Important restrictions: Abyss and Perandus mechanics cannot spawn in Memory Void areas, and the Azurite Mine remains unaffected by Flashback modifiers entirely.
Prizes
Achieving level 35 during the Flashback Event instantly rewards your account with a Glimmerwood Mystery Box. This reward is account-bound and cannot be obtained multiple times through leveling additional characters to the same threshold.
Upon reaching the required level, your mystery boxes automatically appear in your account inventory. Access them by pressing M to open your microtransaction stash, then navigate to the ‘Consumable’ section where they await opening.
Advancing characters to designated level milestones also enters them into random drawings for additional microtransaction prizes. The specific prize tiers and corresponding level requirements appear in the detailed chart below.
Crucially, this event does not void your progress – all POE Items and character data seamlessly transfer to their respective parent leagues when the event concludes.
Success in the Flashback requires more than just grinding – strategic planning significantly enhances your rewards. Track mod rotations using external tools or manual notes to target areas with mod combinations that synergize with your character build.
Common mistakes include ignoring mod synergies, inefficient area selection, and poor time management. Avoid these by planning your gameplay sessions around favorable mod combinations and maintaining efficient clearing patterns.
Optimization tips: Focus on areas where multiple mods provide complementary benefits. For example, Nemesis mods combined with Beyond create excellent currency farming opportunities, while Breach with Harbinger offers substantial experience gains.
Time estimates: Reaching level 35 typically requires 3-5 hours for experienced players, while casual players should budget 6-8 hours. Advanced players can leverage our Class Guide to select optimal builds for Flashback content.
