Rare monsters have one guaranteed mod from the Nemesis Pool, which makes the fight substantially harder.

Description on the official Path of Exile website

The Nemesis league was a four month challenge league aimed at players who are looking for more challenging gameplay. In this league, every rare monster had one powerful Nemesis modifier, making them even more deadly.

It started, along with the Domination league, on October 23, 2013 and lasted until February 23, 2014. At the end of the league surviving characters and stashes were moved to the Hardcore league. As with regular Hardcore, characters that die during the four months were moved to the Standard league immediately.

Modifier

All areas had the following modifier:

• Rare Monsters each have a Nemesis Mod
