[[File:Maddening Object inventory icon.png|left|100px]] The Elder encountered in [[The Shaper's Realm]], also referred to as '''Uber Elder''', is a dual boss encounter where the player fights both [[the Elder]] and [[the Shaper]] at the same time. Defeating the Uber Elder for the first time will reward the player with a {{il|Decayed Voidstone}} that can be socketed into [[Atlas quick guide|the Atlas]]. | |||
The encounter has no phases, however, one of the bosses will be invulnerable, and this will alternate between the two bosses every time the player damages the vulnerable boss for 25% of his health. [[Zana Caeserius]] does not assist the player during this fight, unlike both the Elder and the Shaper encounters where she is present and provides various defensive abilities. | |||
The Uber Elder can drop one of the most valuable items in the game, a 3-mod {{il|Watcher's Eye}} with highly variable value depending on the random mods it has, being worth potentially hundreds of {{il|Divine Orb}}s with the right combination of strong mods. | |||
==Entry== | |||
Players must use the following fragments in their map device to fight Uber Elder (Elder and Shaper). These fragments can be obtained by defeating [[The Shaper]] and [[The Elder]], and can also be traded amongst players. | |||
* {{il|Fragment of Knowledge}} - obtained by defeating [[The Shaper]] | |||
* {{il|Fragment of Shape}} - obtained by defeating [[The Shaper]] | |||
* {{il|Fragment of Terror}} - obtained by defeating [[The Elder]] | |||
* {{il|Fragment of Emptiness}} - obtained by defeating [[The Elder]] | |||
The arena is the same as the [[Absence of Value and Meaning]], but the character first enters [[The Shaper's Realm]], and then takes a portal to the final arena. The arena and staging areas are in the same instance. | |||
==Recommendations== | |||
The Uber Elder is considered to be one of the most difficult boss encounters in Path of Exile, as players are pitted against both [[The Elder]] and [[The Shaper]] simultaneously. Players must be very careful to place the Shaper's [[#The Shaper|Vortex portals]] around the edges of the arena, failing which the entire arena will littered with permanent vortices that cause heavy [[damage over time]]. Players have to also avoid the Elder's Ring of Death and the Shaper Beam and Projectiles, all of which can be deadly if not dealt with properly. | |||
The following is recommended: | |||
*Mastery of the mechanics of [[The Elder]] and [[The Shaper]] | |||
*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 and Elder icicles. | |||
*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 beam and both bosses' slams | |||
==Skills== | |||
The Elder is assisted by the Shaper in this battle. The battle essentially pits the player against both bosses, with some differences: | |||
* One of the bosses will be invulnerable, alternating between the Elder then the Shaper for every 25% health lost. After the 25% health intermission phase, both bosses will be vulnerable; the Shaper can be killed, but the Elder cannot be killed or culled and instead plays a death cutscene upon reaching 0% health. | |||
* [[Volatile Anomaly|Volatile Anomalies]] and [[Madness Propagator|Madness Propagators]] will continuously spawn during the fight, alternating every 20 seconds. These will create [[vortex ground]] or [[eldritch decay (ground effect)|eldritch decay]] pools on the floor which deal damage over time and last for the duration of the fight. Madness Propagators must be defeated to prevent them from creating their degens; Volatile Anomalies cannot be hit but can be walked through to detonate them in a safe location. | |||
* There are no special intermission phases from either boss. | |||
* At each 1/4 health lost from both bosses, the Elder or Shaper will spawn additional monsters. | |||
**The Elder will summon multiple [[Null Portal]]s at 25 and 75% health. The Elder will not attack during this intermission phase. | |||
**The Shaper channels a monster portal like in his regular fight at 50% health. The Shaper will not attack during this intermission phase. | |||
* The Elder does not use his [[The Elder#Skills|Super Siphon]] attack or the debuff {{stl|Crystalised Fear}} | |||
* The Shaper does not use his [[The Shaper#Skills|Shadow Clone]] or Bullet Hell attack. | |||

==Lore== | |||
The Uber Elder was the final boss encounter in the ''[[War for the Atlas]]'' expansion, which occupied the [[Shaper's Realm]]. However, that end-game storyline was retired and replaced by the ''[[Conquerors of the Atlas]]'' (itself was replaced by the end game of ''[[Siege of the Atlas]]''). According to the ''[[Conquerors of the Atlas]]'' game lore, the Elder was slain by the [[Elderslayers]] led by [[Sirus, Awakener of Worlds]], and was removed from the Atlas. Players can still fight Uber Elder using the {{il|Maddening Object}} [[map fragment]]s, but do not need to chase the Elder and Shaper across the Atlas anymore. These map fragments can be obtained by defeating [[the Shaper]] and [[the Elder]]. This encounter is formally known as "[[The Elder]] in [[the Shaper's Realm]]". | |||

Recommendations
The Uber Elder is considered to be one of the most difficult boss encounters in Path of Exile, as players are pitted against both The Elder and The Shaper simultaneously. Players must be very careful to place the Shaper's Vortex portals around the edges of the arena, failing which the entire arena will littered with permanent vortices that cause heavy damage over time. Players have to also avoid the Elder's Ring of Death and the Shaper Beam and Projectiles, all of which can be deadly if not dealt with properly.
The following is recommended:
- Mastery of the mechanics of The Elder and The Shaper
- 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 and Elder icicles.
- 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 beam and both bosses' slams
Skills
The Elder is assisted by the Shaper in this battle. The battle essentially pits the player against both bosses, with some differences:
- One of the bosses will be invulnerable, alternating between the Elder then the Shaper for every 25% health lost. After the 25% health intermission phase, both bosses will be vulnerable; the Shaper can be killed, but the Elder cannot be killed or culled and instead plays a death cutscene upon reaching 0% health.
- Volatile Anomalies and Madness Propagators will continuously spawn during the fight, alternating every 20 seconds. These will create vortex ground or eldritch decay pools on the floor which deal damage over time and last for the duration of the fight. Madness Propagators must be defeated to prevent them from creating their degens; Volatile Anomalies cannot be hit but can be walked through to detonate them in a safe location.
- There are no special intermission phases from either boss.
- At each 1/4 health lost from both bosses, the Elder or Shaper will spawn additional monsters.
- The Elder will summon multiple Null Portals at 25 and 75% health. The Elder will not attack during this intermission phase.
