The Uber Elder is a dual boss encounter where the player fights both the Elder and the Shaper at the same time. It is the final boss encounter in the War for the Atlas expansion. However, that end-game storyline was retired and replaced by the Conquerors of the Atlas.

Despite replaced in terms of end-game lore, which the Elder was killed by the protagonists turned antagonists NPCs (the Elderslayers aka the Conquerors) instead of the player character themselves, the fight is still accessible via a set of map fragments: Maddening ObjectMaddening ObjectCan be used in a personal Map Device.

Abilities

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 two for every 25% health lost. The invulnerable boss will use less attacks than normal. When both bosses are at 25% health, both bosses will be vulnerable.
• Volatile Anomalies and Madness Propagators will continuously spawn during the fight, alternating every 20 seconds.
• There are no special phases from either boss.
• At each 1/4 health lost from both bosses, the Elder or Shaper will spawn adds. The Elder will summon multiple Null Portals and the Shaper channels a portal like in his regular fight. Both are invulnerable during this phase.
• The Elder will not use his Super siphon (including the debuff Crystalised Fear) skill and the Shaper will not use his Shadow Clone or Bullet Hell attack.

Moves in italics are not used while they are in their invulnerable phase.

The Elder

• Default attack: A melee attack. Uses it while you are in melee range.
• Ice Spears: Launches ice spears in various ways, dealing cold damage. He can fire multiple icicles in a large arc or several in a smaller arc.
• Ring of Death: Casts a ring around him, creating a field that gradually grows larger over time. After several seconds, it explodes for massive physical damage, enough to kill most builds. You must stay inside the ring to avoid taking damage.
• Siphon - Dives into the ground and reappears, channeling an arc that deals physical damage over time and greatly slows the character down in front of him. (Sprouting Madness and Fed Upon debuffs.) Any damage he deals with this attack is given to him as energy shield.
• Tentacle Whip: Spawns several tentacles that slam the ground to deal area of effect physical damage.
• Rising Slam: The Elder spins around, launching multiple cold damage projectiles that impact in a ring around him, then teleports away. He will then teleport to your location and do a slam that deals heavy cold damage.

The Shaper

• Melee Attack: A lash that does melee damage. He only uses it while in melee range.
• Golden Projectiles: The Shaper fires three golden orbs that deal massive cold damage and penetrate 25% cold resistance, one after another.
• Shaper Beam: The Shaper channels a huge golden beam that deals fire, cold and lightning damage over time. The beam only targets one location per skill usage.
• Teleport Slam: The Shaper spins and disappears in a blanket of void, and then teleports to the player's location, followed by a powerful slam with a large area of effect. A movement skill is recommended to avoid taking damage from this move.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.9.0	The Elder and Shaper were defeated and are no longer part of the atlas. They can still be accessed with new Fragment sets.
3.2.0	Introduced the final Elder encounter. This endgame encounter is the single most difficult challenge Path of Exile currently has to offer. Good luck! No longer immune to Taunt, though they may not retarget based on being taunted. The Elder in his Unstable phase can no longer be slowed below their base speed. The Elder's Unstable phase is now more difficult, and can drop more Elder items if successfully completed. This is now the only way to obtain the Watcher's Eye unique jewel.
