Handled wrong, it levels your home; handled right, it&#8217;s some of the best loot and thralls in the game. This guide covers the Conan Exiles Purge.<\/p>\n<h2>What the Purge is<\/h2>\n<p>As you play \u2014 gathering, crafting, killing \u2014 you build up a hidden <strong>Purge meter<\/strong>. When it fills and the conditions are met, a <strong>Purge<\/strong> triggers: waves of themed enemies attack your base. Survive it and you can capture rare Purge-only thralls and loot.<\/p>\n<h2>What attacks you<\/h2>\n<p>The Purge&#8217;s theme and difficulty depend on <strong>where your base is<\/strong> \u2014 different regions spawn different enemies (human raiders, beasts, even tougher faction forces in dangerous areas).
