Layout
Templar Laboratory (staging area)
Absence of Value and Meaning map has two parts. The first area is a staging area that somewhat similar to the current version of The Templar Laboratory which is accessible right after Act 10. However, the Absence of Value and Meaning's version is in fact the Templar Laboratory version that was introduced in War for the Atlas expansion (Since version 3.2.0 which the Uber Elder quest is live in the game), which this version is removed in Conquerors of the Atlas expansion and migrated that part of the tileset to Absence of Value and Meaning map.
The protagonist that the player is controlling, is in fact accessing a past event via the map fragments. Conquerors of the Atlas expansion established a new canon that the current Conquerors of the Atlas, are the Elderslayers, but not the protagonist that is controlled by the player.
By the game lore, the section of the Templar Laboratory that is accessed by the player character in this Absence of Value and Meaning map, was the study room of the Shaper, aka Valdo Caeserius, father of Zana. There is an Elder portal to the real Absence of Value and Meaning arena. Both areas are in the same game server instance. The area was used to be the area that the player and Zana discovered a device that is made by Valdo Caeserius that is able to defeat the Elder (as Uber Elder), which the whole quest was removed.
Before the quest removal in version 3.9.0, the player character entered the Absence of Value and Meaning arena via an Elder portal located in the map boss room of a map which the Elder has occupied. The map and Absence of Value and Meaning are in different server instance. But since Elder spawning mechanic is removed from the atlas , and the access is replaced by the map fragments, the Templar Laboratory is chosen by the game dev as the tileset of the staging area.
Absence of Value and Meaning proper (boss arena)
The arena is a X-shaped area in grey coloured theme.
The layout of the Uber Elder arena is identical to Absence of Value and Meaning, but that area is known as the Shaper's Realm, which in the Shaper's Realm server instance, there is another portal to the arena proper that in the same instance.
