These map fragments can be obtained by defeating the [[Guardians of the Void]]. | ||
Defeating the Shaper is guaranteed to drop a [[map fragment]] required for the [[Uber Elder]] encounter, either {{il|Fragment of Shape}} or {{il|Fragment of Knowledge}}. The other 2 fragments are dropped by [[The Elder]]. | |||
Items influenced by the Shaper have a red star icon on its header [[File:Shaper-item-symbol.png]] and have unique [[List of shaper modifiers|Shaper modifiers]].

The following is recommended: | |||
* | *At least 1 million damage per second | ||
* | *Capped elemental resistances (fire, cold and lightning resistance at 75%); additional [[Maximum resistance|Maximum Cold Resistance]] is also useful for Shaper balls. | ||

*Moderate mitigation or avoidance, including Physical damage reduction, Armour, [[Blocking|Block]], [[Spell suppression|Spell Suppression]] | |||
*[[Movement|Movement skill]] to avoid Shaper's slams and beams | |||
' | The fight consists of multiple phases. Before the Shaper encounter begins, the player must defeat four side bosses at the nexus. After that a portal opens to the Shaper's arena. The Shaper himself has three phases. At the end of the first and second phases he banishes Zana and the player to a passage while he heals up. The players must traverse the passage and return to the arena to begin the next phase. The Shaper recovers health slowly between phases. | ||

===Between Phases=== | |||
Between each of the Shaper phases, Zana and the player must traverse an area filled with monsters and kill a boss at its end. These areas use randomly-chosen tilesets, and appear to be thin, floating islands in a sea of stars. At the end there is a boss that players must defeat, after which a portal opens up that returns players to the main arena. | |||

* Volatile Anomalies (and their Vortexes on detonation) are not cleared between phases. | |||
* The Shaper's ball projectile spell fires two additional projectiles to the side, and penetrates 40% of Cold Resistance instead. | |||
* The Shaper's slam attack is faster, has a larger area of effect, does more damage, and cannot be [[block]]ed. | |||
* Zana will not shield you against his Bullet Hell attack, but he fires less projectiles per attack. Penetrates 40% of Cold Resistance instead. | |||

== | The Shaper is the creator of the [[Atlas of Worlds]] and was the main antagonist of the [[Atlas of Worlds (expansion)|Atlas of Worlds expansion]]. The Shaper's real name is '''Valdo Caeserius''', and is the father of [[Zana Caeserius]]. Zana assists the player during the battle with the Shaper and constantly implores him to stop fighting and join her, but he refuses. | ||
The [[Synthesis league]] also expanded the backstory of the Shaper and his construction of the map device. | |||
==Historical== | |||
Path of Exile has gone through multiple expansions since the Shaper was introduced, and as such mechanics that used to pertain to him no longer exist, or were modified. | |||
Background information about the Shaper was written in the [[Book of Memories]], which was filled as the exile collected his [[Memory Fragment]]s from Elder-influenced zones. | |||

Recommendations
The following is recommended:
- At least 1 million damage per second
- Capped elemental resistances (fire, cold and lightning resistance at 75%); additional Maximum Cold Resistance is also useful for Shaper balls.
- At least 5,000 combined Life and Energy Shield and a reliable source of recovery
- Moderate mitigation or avoidance, including Physical damage reduction, Armour, Block, Spell Suppression
- Movement skill to avoid Shaper's slams and beams
The fight consists of multiple phases. Before the Shaper encounter begins, the player must defeat four side bosses at the nexus. After that a portal opens to the Shaper's arena. The Shaper himself has three phases. At the end of the first and second phases he banishes Zana and the player to a passage while he heals up. The players must traverse the passage and return to the arena to begin the next phase. The Shaper recovers health slowly between phases.

- Ambrius, Legion Slayer (Colosseum)

Between Phases
Between each of the Shaper phases, Zana and the player must traverse an area filled with monsters and kill a boss at its end. These areas use randomly-chosen tilesets, and appear to be thin, floating islands in a sea of stars. At the end there is a boss that players must defeat, after which a portal opens up that returns players to the main arena.
The bosses at the end are based on Riftwalker from the Laboratory MapLaboratory MapMap Level: 69

- The Uncreated is the boss between phase 1 and phase 2. It has the same skill set as Riftwalker.
- The Unshaped is the boss between phase 2 and phase 3. He is similar to The Uncreated but also fires a volley of Frostbolts in quick succession every once in a while.
The Shaper slowly regenerates his health during this time, so it's recommended to reach the end as quickly as possible. Once The Uncreated/Unshaped is killed, this regeneration stops, and the intermission phase is complete.

Lore
The Shaper is the creator of the Atlas of Worlds and was the main antagonist of the Atlas of Worlds expansion. The Shaper's real name is Valdo Caeserius, and is the father of Zana Caeserius. Zana assists the player during the battle with the Shaper and constantly implores him to stop fighting and join her, but he refuses.
The Synthesis league also expanded the backstory of the Shaper and his construction of the map device.
Historical
Path of Exile has gone through multiple expansions since the Shaper was introduced, and as such mechanics that used to pertain to him no longer exist, or were modified.
Background information about the Shaper was written in the Book of Memories, which was filled as the exile collected his Memory Fragments from Elder-influenced zones.
Voice actor
The Shaper is voiced by New Zealand actor, Daryl Habraken.[3]
