If you are lucky someone will desecrate them in your hideout.

if you can'T get the wretched defilers, long ago before them, in maps like necropolis i belive, you can instead find and get the similar spider monster "stygian revenant"°

Now, don't get me wrong, those are really weaker!

But, much more accessible if you got no access to t17 maps or t16,5 yet.

They look the same, but have no minions and do less dmg, have less hp.

BUT their Attack pattern is the same, you can run the exact same front line with the guardian turtle and spirit of fortune bought spectres in their perfect form, to buff your character as intended.

Perfect spirit of fortune gives you wrath aura + lucky lightning dmg (equal to perquil's toe amulett=);

Ki Response from google:


To find the Wretched Defiler in Path of Exile, you need to use the Desecrate skill in specific maps to raise corpses and check for the Wretched Defiler's name, as they are not guaranteed to spawn. Key locations where they can be found include Tier 17 maps such as Abomination, Citadel, Fortress, Sanctuary, and Ziggurat maps.
How to Find the Wretched Defiler
Enter a suitable map: Go into one of the Tier 17 maps listed above, such as Abomination or Ziggurat.
Use Desecrate: Cast the Desecrate skill within the map.
Target corpses: Hold down the corpse targeting key (A by default) to see the names of the corpses you can raise.
Check for the name: Hover your mouse over the corpses.
Repeat if necessary: If you don't find a Wretched Defiler, leave the map and try again in a different map instance.
Tips for Finding Wretched Defilers
Use Scarabs
: Applying a Scarab of Bisection to your map can help guarantee a greater number of corpses to choose from.
Consider Map Settings
: Experimenting with your Atlas passive tree to include or exclude specific modifiers might influence spawn rates.
Join the Community
: You can try asking in global chat (like /global 6666) for other players who might have a Wretched Defiler in their hideout.
Target specific maps
: Some players find success in specific Tier 17 maps, such as Abomination, Ziggurat, Fortress, Citadel, and Sanctuary maps.

Good luck and don't worry if you work with the lower level ones first, they DO funtion.
