Strategy
Atziri is one of the most challenging bosses in the game, with her base form rivaling lower red tier maps and her enhanced version rivaling endgame bosses. Strong well rounded defenses are an absolute must, as is reflect mitigation or immunity if your build doesn't deal indirect damage like traps/mines, minions, totems, etc.
Normal Phase
Initially, Atziri is alone. In this form, she has built-in damage reflect, making her dangerous to fight against if your build deals too much direct damage. Moreover, she reflects curses, meaning the player gets cursed as well.
Atziri can use the following attacks:
- An arc of spears that apply bleed. The damage from bleed is not too high, unless you have no physical mitigation. This attack is much faster in the the Alluring Abyss version.
- A single

Add Phase
Atziri shields herself, preventing her from taking damage. She summons minions that walk towards her and heal her when they reach her. The minions will not attack the player. If the minions manage to reach Atziri, she will gain some energy shield. This is by far the safest phase and a good time for recovering flask charges.
Atziri's energy shield will recharge while shielding. The best way keep the minions from healing her is to stand as close to Atziri as possible and use an Area of Effect skill to clear the minions as fast as possible. refilling flasks, regenerating life, recharging energy shield or to curse Atziri (don't forget to remove the reflect).
Atziri can still draw aggression of your minions, so it's better to avoid staying too close to her if you are a minion-based build..
Split Phase
Atziri splits into four copies of herself. This phase happens at fixed intervals: only when she loses a quarter of her life (so at 75%, 50% and 25%). If the minions heal her back to one of those life levels, she will not do this phase again. One of the four copies needs to be defeated in order to be able to damage Atziri again:
- One holds a spear in her hand that fires a single projectile at the player; dealing bleeding damage over time.
- One has fire on her hand and casts a single FlameblastFlameblastSpell, AoE, Fire, Channelling

Attacking this copy with direct damage is consequently fatal and only an option for characters that deal indirect or pure chaos damage and/or for characters that cannot take reflected damage (Slayer's Bane of Legends, Elementalist's Paragon of Calamity, Assassin's Opportunistic).
The spear has very poor aim and a moderate amount of damage. As long as the bleed is under control, the skill is largely ignored. Because the flameblast is always cast on top of the player (with the same cast time and delay), it is essential for players to get used to the rhythm of each cast. Melee players, in particular, can draw out her flameblast in a random location and attack one of Atziri copies during the cast time and delay. Traps, mines, and pure chaos damage skills like Essence Drain can attack the mirror safely while keeping their distance from the other clones.

Lore
Atziri was the Queen of Vaal and reigned over the Vaal Empire. Her thaumaturgist was Doryani.
"
Atziri was the last queen of the Vaal civilization. She was extremely vain and held court in a room lined with mirrors. Atziri wished for eternal youth, inspired by the serial killer Zerphi living 168 years with a young body, and her thaumaturgist Doryani sacrificed countless victims trying to achieve this. Destroyed by the Cataclysm, she still lingers in a nightmare realm that is leaking corruption back into the land of Wraeclast."
- - Official Forums Chris (March 1, 2014). "Path of Exile: Sacrifice of the Vaal Full Information". Official Path of Exile Forums.
The base type Sacrificial Garb obviously refers to the skins of the sacrificed ones. The flavour text from Shadowstitch and Transcendent Spirit further indicate that.
"
Take comfort knowing that, even in death, we may serve our Queen and fuel her empire."
- - Transcendent Spirit Viridian Jewel
"
Destined for sacrifice, they were dressed in garments that blurred the lines between this world and the next."
- - Shadowstitch Sacrificial Garb
