Occasionally, a Shaper-influenced Tier 16 map can drop, which has one of the four Shaper Guardian specific map bases. The map can be sold by Zana or offered in-map as part of her Atlas Mission. Player can use an Orb of HorizonsOrb of HorizonsStack Size: 20Reforges a map item as another of the same tierRight click this item then left click a map to apply it. to reroll the map between the 4 Shaper Guardians Maps. However, player cannot roll other T16 Map into Shaper Guardians Maps, or vice versa.

Upon slaying the boss, they will drop a Shaper Map fragment that named after the boss (i.e. Guardian of the Minotaur drop Fragment of the MinotaurFragment of the MinotaurStack Size: 10Enter the crucible. The nexus of

Lore

They are the main antagonists of Atlas of Worlds storyline, they are the guardians of the Void, which all 4 are needed to defeat to fight Shaper.

In War for the Atlas storyline, their maps would be occupied by Elder Guardians instead if the players beat all four Guardians of the Void and spread Elder influence to their maps.

Since Conquerors of the Atlas expansion, they do not appear in the epilogue nor on the Atlas, and they are thus assumed to be defeated and slain like The Elder. They are still accessible from Zana and from the Map Device.

In Echoes of the Atlas expansion, the Guardians of the Void are somehow back to the lore as bosses in the Uncharted Realms. They can be duplicated by the Maven and fight them all at once in Maven's Invitation: The FormedMaven's Invitation: The FormedModifiers to Item Quantity will affect the number of encounter rewards dropped

Version history

Version	Changes
3.9.1	Zana Atlas Objectives can now offer Shaper Guardian Maps as options as long as you are in a Tier15+ Map.
3.9.0d	Fixed a bug where completing Shaper Guardians Maps caused all Maps in the Atlas of Worlds to be completed.
3.9.0	The Atlas of Worlds has been reworked. You now start at the centre and will work your way outwards as you explore a new storyline. The Shaper and Elder storyline is gone and has been replaced by a story that takes place in the aftermath of the old story. Zana can now sell Shaper- and Elder-influenced maps once you have progressed your Atlas enough. These act like the old Atlas influence, creating new monsters, threats, and rewards. The Elder, Shaper, and combined Elder and Shaper encounters can still be accessed. If you're lucky, Zana may offer a Elder or Shaper guardian's map!
2.4.1	The Guardians of the Void can no longer be permanently taunted. They can only be taunted every so often.
2.4.0	Introduced to the game.
