The Maven's Crucible is a boss arena where players fight multiple captured bosses simultaneously under the observation of The Maven. Players enter the crucible using a region-specific Maven's Invitation. Completing the Crucible awards players with 2 skill points for their Atlas passive skill tree in the same region as the invitation. The Crucible also provides The Maven's Gift which allows players to assign their skillpoints.

Mechanics

The Maven's Crucible is an arena that contains all of the captured bosses within that region. Players must fight and defeat all the bosses simultaneously in order to win the battle. The final Crucible that contains 10 bosses is repeatable, similar to spawning Conquerors and Sirus.

Regional invitations have several different spawn patterns, including releasing monsters in pairs, on a timer, or all at once.

Endgame invitations spawn 2 monsters at once, then the other 2 after 20 seconds or if any are killed early. The Feared will spawn 2 monsters initially then the remaining 3 after 20 seconds.

Upon completion, it grants the player access to The Maven's Gift which allows players to assign skill points to their Atlas passive skill tree. Each boss fight grants 2 points for that Atlas region, except the repeatable 10-boss fight which only awards 2 skill points upon the first completion.
