I no longer believe these are realms of chance, rather, they must have been formulated by a sentient mind... a designer or architect. Every shadow in this place creeps about with an unforeseen purpose.
The Shaper is the creator of the Atlas of Worlds and the main antagonist of the Atlas of Worlds expansion. He acts as a final boss, residing in The Shaper's RealmThe Shaper's RealmMap Level: 84
Map Tier: 17
Guild Character: ¥Travel to this Map by using it in a personal Map Device. Maps can only be used once..The Shaper also occasionally appears in maps that are influenced by him. Players can fight the Shaper using the Key to the CrucibleKey to the CrucibleCan be used in a personal Map Device. map fragments set, and do not need to chase the Elder and Shaper across the Atlas anymore. These map fragments can be obtained by defeating the Guardians of the Void.
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 Shaper is considered to be one of the most difficult bosses in Path of Exile. His abilities deal very high damage and he has the highest health pool out of any enemy in the game. His iconic ability, the Shaper Beam, deals 15,000 elemental damage per second using a combination of Fire, Cold and Lightning elements. The Shaper does not deal Chaos damage and does not inflict bleeds.
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.
Defeating the Shaper is guaranteed to drop a map fragment required for the Uber Elder encounter, either Fragment of ShapeFragment of ShapeStack Size: 10Beauty is in the eye of the creator.Can be used in a personal Map Device. or Fragment of KnowledgeFragment of KnowledgeStack Size: 10Understanding leads to mastery.Can be used in a personal Map Device.. The other 2 fragments are dropped by The Elder.
Items influenced by the Shaper have a red star icon on its header and have unique Shaper modifiers. Shaper influenced items can drop from the Shaper boss as well as from monsters killed in maps influenced by the Shaper.
Background information about the Shaper is written in the Book of Memories, which is filled as the exile collects his Memory Fragments from Elder-influenced zones.

The following is recommended:

- Ambrius, Legion Slayer
- God's Chosen and The Hallowed Husk
- Spinner of False Hope
- Shock and Horror
- Tyrant
- Penitentiary Incarcerator
- Olof, Son of the Headsman
- The Goddess
- The Cursed King

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. Those areas use randomly-chosen tilesets, and appear to be thin, floating islands in a sea of stars. At the end of the area there is a boss that players must defeat, after which a portal opens up that returns players to the main arena.
Each of the bosses at the end are based on Riftwalker from the Laboratory MapLaboratory MapMap Level: 69
Map Tier: 2
Guild Character: ÄMy last waking moments looked very
much like this place... I miss it. I miss her.Travel to this Map by using it in a personal Map Device. Maps can only be used once., but have much higher health.
- 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 the between phases, so it's recommended to complete them as quickly as possible. Once The Uncreated/Unshaped is killed, this regeneration stops, and the between phase is complete.
