{{about|the boss|the quest|The Awakener of Worlds}}
'''Sirus, Awakener of Worlds''' is the main antagonist of the [[Conquerors of the Atlas|Conquerors of the Atlas expansion]]. He acts as the final boss of the [[Atlas of Worlds]], and the leader of the other conquerors: [[Al-Hezmin, the Hunter]], [[Baran, the Crusader]], [[Drox, the Warlord]] and [[Veritania, the Redeemer]].

Sirus was the leader of the Elderslayers, and according to the game lore, disappeared along with [[The Elder]] after defeating him, much to the dismay of [[Zana]], who grew attached to him during their time together. Once a hero, Sirus turned mad after defeating the Elder and then destroyed [[Oriath]], forcing the player to eventually fight and defeat him. After defeating Sirus for the first time, the town of Oriath can no longer be accessed and is instead replaced with [[Karui Shores]].

Unlike bosses like [[The Elder]] and [[The Shaper]], a Sirus fight cannot be spawned using [[Map fragment]]s. Instead players must [[Atlas quick guide|chase the conquerors across the Atlas]] and defeat each conqueror many 
times before they are able to locate Sirus within the Atlas and spawn a Sirus fight. The  portal to the Sirus arena is opened by [[Zana]].

Sirus has various exclusive and high-value drops such as the {{il|Awakener's Orb}} used for end-game crafting, and the {{il|Hands of the High Templar}}, a versatile set of gloves that can have multiple powerful implicit mods.

Sirus is considered one of the toughest bosses in Path of Exile, as he deals massive amounts of damage of every type, including large amounts of [[Chaos]] damage. In order to defeat Sirus, players require decent amounts of life regeneration and at least 1 million DPS (damage per second). Many of the [[#Attacks|Sirus attacks]] are complex mechanics that must be dealt with and players cannot simply ''facetank'' Sirus, unlike many of the other bosses in the game.

The difficulty of a Sirus fight changes based on the player's current Atlas Awakening Level, and is colloquially known as ''A1 Sirus'' through ''A8 Sirus''. If players wish to fight an easier Sirus battle, albiet with lower-tier drops, they may unsocket all watchstones from the Atlas, returning their Awakening Level to 0, and then open a portal to the Sirus arena.

==Recommendations==
The following is recommended:
*At least 1 million damage per second (rolling over your main attack ability should show 100K+, because Path of Exile cannot calculate DPS properly)
*Capped elemental resistances (fire, cold and lightning resistance at 75%)
*At least 0% [[Chaos resistance]] (not required but recommended)
*Any [[Jewel]] with the implicit mod: {{c|mod|Corrupted Blood cannot be inflicted on you}}
*At least 5,000 [[Effective hit points]] ([[Life]] pool)
*At least 20% block or evade chance, or [[Mana before Life]] defenses

The following is optional:
*{{c|unique|{{il|Atziri's Promise}}}} improves your [[Chaos resistance]] by 35% and provides a damage boost as well.
*{{c|unique|{{il|Blood of the Karui}}}} has the highest life point restoration of any Life Flask (some players take 5 of these)
*{{c|unique|{{il|Rumi's Concoction}}}} can increase your defensive ability if you keep dying (spellcaster and ranger builds only)
*{{c|unique|{{il|Lion's Roar}}}} can increase your defensive ability if you keep dying (melee builds only)

==Attacks==
{{Tip|Sirus is highlighted in a green circle, and green arrows indicate the direction in which you have to run. Yellow lines indicate impassable walls.}}

|-
| [[File:Sirus Deatomization Storm.png|300px]]
| '''Deatomization Storm'''
|
*Sirus's arena contains multiple huge Deatomization Storms, which deal massive damage and damage over time to anything touching them.
*Around Sirus is a large animated ring which indicates a safety zone / arena zone which pushes out the storms.
*'''If players touch the Storm, it will deal:'''
**Deals 2102 to 3154 Damage (50% Physical, 25% Fire, 25% Chaos)
**Deals 1095 Base Fire Damage per second
**Deals 1095 Base Chaos Damage per second

*'''Sirus will also spawn a Storm every time he reaches 75%, 50%, or 25% health; or if the player is outside of the safety zone for too long.'''
**Sirus retreats to his throne, but the ''throne phase'' will end if the player comes into close proximity with Sirus ''after'' the Deatomization Storm is created.
**This takes a number of seconds during which time, a pulsating knockback encourages the player to move away from the new Deatomization Storm.

|-
| [[File:Sirus Beam.png|300px]]
| '''Default Attack'''
|
*Sirus fires a beam forward. It has a delay and can be sidestepped.
*'''If not avoided, the beam will deal:'''
** Deals 2628 to 3942 Damage (40% Physical, 30% Fire, 30% Lightning)

|-
| [[File:Sirus Die Beam.png|300px]]
| '''Die Beam'''
|
*Sirus fires 3 beams that deal a huge amount of damage which can one-shot most builds.
*The only way to avoid this is to listen for the dialogue and move away from the current position to avoid it, or, to maintain constant movement and mobility in the arena.
*Before casting this, Sirus says {{c|quest|"DIE!"}}.

*'''If players have not moved from their original location, EACH beam fired by Sirus will deal ONE of the following types of damage:'''
<tabber>
Physical Beam=
*Deals 1526 to 2289 Physical Damage

</tabber>

|-
| [[File:Sirus Corridor Blast.png|300px]]
| '''Corridor Blast'''
| 
*Sirus creates impassable walls in a ''corridor'' to the player from his location and then fires slow moving projectiles at the player, one at a time.
*Sirus can be interrupted by moving towards and through him, in the direction of the green arrow.

*'''Each projectile will:'''
**Deal 2628 to 3942 Damage (25% Physical, 25% Fire, 25% Lightning, 25% Chaos)

|-
| [[File:Sirus Meteor Maze.png|300px]]
| '''Meteor Maze'''
|
*Sirus creates a ring maze that traps the player in its center.
*Sirus summons all players in the zone to the centre of the maze.
*The player must escape from each layer before Sirus collapses the maze, damaging the player.
*Each phase increments the number of walls up to three, and the time given for the player to exit the maze.
*Each layer has an exit placed at a random location in the circle indicated by animated flares.

*'''If the players have not exited the maze, Sirus will launch a meteor in the middle of the maze, which will deal:'''
**For 2 ring mazes: Deal 16,344 to 24,517 Damage (25% Physical, 25% Fire, 25% Lightning, 25% Chaos)
**For 3 ring+ mazes: Deal 21,793 to 32,689 Damage (25% Physical, 25% Fire, 25% Lightning, 25% Chaos)

|-
| [[File:Sirus Beam Bomb.png|300px]]
| '''Spinning Beams'''
|
*Sirus splits into 4 illusions, blasting an area with lasers to spawn a core. 
*The real Sirus will flash blue briefly before firing the beams.
*The core fires rotating beams that apply [[Corruption of the Awakener]], which stacks, slowing you and increasing damage taken.
*When the core expires, it leaves behind a small area of degeneration that deals damage over time, negates life leech, reduces maximum resistances, and applies a powerful Shock effect.

|-
| [[File:Sirus Clones.png|300px]]
| '''Multi Clone'''
|
*Sirus will rapidly dash to a location nearby and summon 12 clones in a large circle, hiding among them as an illusion.
*The location Sirus initially moves to will remain as the location he attacks with Multiclone beam from.
*He will then fire the '''Multi Clone Die Beam''' (see next attack)
|-
| [[File:Sirus Clone Beam Lightning.png|300px]]
| '''Multi Clone Die Beam'''
|
*After summoning his 12 clones, Sirus will then charge up a variant of his extremely damaging "Die Beam", and fire it midway through the voice line he uses during it, as seen below.
**{{c|quest|"Feel the thrill of}} {{c|corrupted|<fires>}} {{c|quest|THE VOID!"}}
**{{c|quest|"You will long for}} {{c|corrupted|<fires>}} {{c|quest|NONEXISTENCE."}}

|-
| [[File:Sirus Projection Beam Sweep.png|300px]]
| '''Beam Sweep'''
|
*Sirus says {{c|quest|"Be utterly annihilated!"}} or {{c|quest|"Creation itself!"}}
*Sirus fires two beams towards its sides, which converge towards the center.
*It creates a huge explosion at the center if you're not in the safety zone.

** Deals 280.3 to 420.5 Damage (50% Physical, 25% Fire, 25% Chaos)

==Lore==
{{see also|Sirus' Journals}}
Sirus, during the battle:

{{quote|A fellow exile? One more fool under Zana's sway. Allow me to destroy you before she has a chance to betray you, too. At least my way will be quick.

There is nothing left for me here. For a few brief days, destroying something real may make me feel alive again.	

You slew my friends. You brought ruin to my worlds. You have invaded my very sanctum. I should be furious, and yet... I feel nothing.	

You want the Atlas? Take it. It's yours. But Oriath? Oriath I will burn to the ground. Perhaps the suffering of my fellow citizens will finally stir something.}}

[[Zana]], before players defeat Sirus:

{{quote|No...Sirus is still alive? Gods, I thought he was dead! He took the brunt of the energy released when we sealed the [[Elder]]. How did he survive?

Sirus was the leader of the group of Exiles I recruited. Brilliant and determined, and a force to be reckoned with even before we travelled the Atlas together. We... grew close. I was distraught when he vanished with the Elder. At first i thought the other Exiles were looking for him as I was, but perhaps they knew he was still alive...

I have a terrible feeling that Sirus may be tied to the madness of the others. Or perhaps he is just as mad as they are. We need to find and stop him -- if the others are looking for a way out, I'm certain he is too.}}

[[Zana]], after the first time players defeat Sirus:

{{quote|My home... Our home... It's... it's just... gone. After everything it has been through, I still thought Oriath could recover, could become the place I always hoped it would be...

Now...? Now it's just ash. There's not even enough rubble left for us to scavenge through.

Sirus, why did you have to--...?

<nowiki>*</nowiki>sigh*... I'm sorry, Exile. I should be happy. I should be thanking you for your help. I should be focused on the future. But I don't even know where to begin. Oriath, and the people who were in it, are scattered to the wind. We'll just... keep going, I suppose. What else can we do? Perhaps we can settle here... Stay in one place for a change.

But at least you're done now, right, Exile? You'll leave the Atlas alone... right?}}
