This guide will show you how to chase the Conquerors and how to find The Maven in the Atlas of Worlds.

Step Image Mechanic
1 To start off, simply run any map that you own.
  • Using an Orb of TransmutationOrb of TransmutationStack Size: 40Upgrades a normal item to a magic itemRight click this item then left click a normal item to apply it. on the map will convert it into Magic variety, with harder fights but better rewards
  • Using an Orb of AlchemyOrb of AlchemyStack Size: 20Upgrades a normal item to a rare itemRight click this item then left click a normal item to apply it. on the map will convert it into Rare variety, with hardest fights but best rewards

The image on the left shows the same map, in Normal, Magic and Rare rarities.

2 Eventually you will encounter Zana in a map. After completing that map, you can return to your Hideout and add Zana into your hideout.
3 Eventually you will encounter an influenced map, meaning that one of the Conquerors have arrived on the map and by completing the map you are one step closer to finding their citadel.

In this example map, we see a icy effects and the appearance of ice golems and dinosaurs, indicating that the map is influenced by Veritania, the Redeemer, the "icy lady".

3 After completing a few maps in the same region, if you open the Atlas of Worlds you will see the Influenced region colored.

Since Veritania, the Redeemer has the light blue color representing ice, the region is colored light blue.

Also, the indicator bar (top left of image) shows that we have chased her in 1 map (1 yellow box), and 2 maps are yet to be done (2 blue boxes) to find her citadel.

4 Complete more maps in the same region to chase Veritania.

is within the influenced region and thus by completing any map in that region you will be one step closer to finding her citadel.

5 After completing the given amount of maps in the same region and chasing down the Conqueror, Zana will be highlighted in your hideout.

Talk to her and select "Travel to X Citadel", where X is the name of the Conqueror.

6 Your map device will open a special set of portals to the Conqueror's citadel. The portals are colored purple, as shown.
7 Complete the map as usual, and defeat the map boss.
8 Stop looting chests when the alert meter is almost full, otherwise the system will go into "imminent lockdown" mode.
9 After defeating the map boss, a special portal will open to the Conqueror's arena, next to the carcass of the dead boss.

Enter the portal.

10 Face off against the Conqueror, in this case Veritania, the Redeemer.

You have 6 tries in total to kill her, after which all the portals to the citadel will close and you will have failed to kill the Conqueror. In this case you will have to repeat from step 1.

11 Once you slay the Conqueror, they will drop a Watchstone.

They will drop either one of these:

  • Cobalt WatchstoneCobalt WatchstoneThe memories and emotions of countless victims of the Elder,
    locked in stone for eternity.
    Socket this into a Citadel on your Atlas to increase the Tier of Maps and reveal hidden Maps in that Citadel's Region. You can only socket one Crimson, Viridian, Cobalt or Golden Watchstone into each Citadel.
  • Crimson WatchstoneCrimson WatchstoneThe memories and emotions of countless victims of the Elder,
    locked in stone for eternity.
    Socket this into a Citadel on your Atlas to increase the Tier of Maps and reveal hidden Maps in that Citadel's Region. You can only socket one Crimson, Viridian, Cobalt or Golden Watchstone into each Citadel.
  • Golden WatchstoneGolden WatchstoneThe memories and emotions of countless victims of the Elder,
    locked in stone for eternity.
    Socket this into a Citadel on your Atlas to increase the Tier of Maps and reveal hidden Maps in that Citadel's Region. You can only socket one Crimson, Viridian, Cobalt or Golden Watchstone into each Citadel.
  • Viridian WatchstoneViridian WatchstoneThe memories and emotions of countless victims of the Elder,

    Socket this into a Citadel on your Atlas to increase the Tier of Maps and reveal hidden Maps in that Citadel's Region. You can only socket one Crimson, Viridian, Cobalt or Golden Watchstone into each Citadel.
12 Pick up the Watchstone and click on the Watchstone Altar (shown in image).
13 The Atlas will open, and if it is your first Conqueror in the region, a new citadel interface will be displayed in that region, that allows you to socket your watchstone in.
14 Place your watchstone into the socket, as shown.
15 Socketing the watchstone allows you to discover more maps in the region, and increases the level of all map drops and even other item drops.
16 Now you can look in your Map tab, and you will see the influenced maps colored.

This example image shows the influence of Al-Hezmin, the Hunter (green box around maps).

Complete influenced maps to chase the Conquerors, as you have learnt, or simply complete maps at random to find a new Conqueror (step 1).
