I'm stuck at 6/10. Did all levels highlighted with maps and irridated + corrupted plus arbiter of ash. Arbiter took it from 4/10 - 6/10. What did you do to fix it?
FYI, finding citadels is a function of distance from starting point on the map. So you are best served doing the maps in a straight line away from where you started. The youtuber who spoke on the matter said they were around 16 screens from the starting point when they started seeing citadels fairly reliably.
great video. thanks mate! small tip for the citadels that you may not know: small buildings will show up along the path that takes you to them which would be either small temples, huts or buildings. this might help you locate them since they might spawn in the fog
@@BluPhoenixoh god here we go, first it was the position of the bodies in the towers, now it huts along your path, next someone is going to hold a dowel and try to divine which way the temples are.
@@corneliusblackwood9014 oops, sorry I missed this reply the other day, but this one is 100% confirmed/accurate. Each of the citadels is surrounded by smaller buildings that have a similar look to the citadels themselves, and only show up directly around the citadels. Here is a video showing all three and what the buildings look like: ua-cam.com/video/6xFW6JG0S8A/v-deo.html Last night I finally came across one - I cleared a tower and it revealed some of the buildings, but not the citadel itself until I got closer. So it's a way to see and know that the citadels are just out of sight in that direction.
Found the Stone Temple and I'm quite new with end game only T5 maps still. So I'm not gonna run it yet, doubting if I should. Tactic is simple to get there fast just keep going one direction. I went all the way down within less than 50 maps got there.
Yeah I'd probably wait. There's really no rush to complete it until you have found all 3, so might as well keep playing and working on your maps and go in a little better prepared later.
@@ccrazool Theoretically, yes, but I haven't been able to 100% confirm if/how much it affects the citadel bosses yet. If/when I find two of the same citadel I'll do one powered up and one with no points to test and confirm.

finding citadels was one of the easiest things in the game for me and didn't take long. Found all three before I even finished the quest for completing tier 11maps, maybe it was patched after this video?

I already got 4 points on the boss atlas tree, when i'm trying to get the 3rd by going corrupted+irradiated+t16, it doesnt drop the book. Any idea why is this happening?
Hi, thanks for the video, I need your help, I ald have 8 boss points, but after I killed the Pinnacle of Flame, it didnt provide me Points 9-10, is it I need to complete Citadels?
Hmmm I don't think so, does the Pinnacle of Flame quest still show in your quests? If so you may have to complete whatever that shows. Also if you were in a party, I believe only one person (whoever initiated it) can get the skill books. That's how it works for the other bosses at least, whoever opened the map is the one that gets the skill book.
@ Flame quest completed because I used currency exchange for the boss room keys, but I haven’t complete 3 Citadels quests, is it because of this reason?
You always get credit for the lowest one that you haven't achieved yet. So your 80 counted for 79, and you can get your 2nd one by doing another 80, or anything higher
You will only get your first two points, and then you must spend those points and complete a level 80+ map for your next 2, then 81+, etc. You will always only get 2 points, and it will count for the lowest tier you haven't completed. They are not tied to a quest aside from the last 2 (9 & 10), which require completing the Pinnacle of Flame quest
From what I've been hearing online, it sounds like clearing out corruption on the map may be related/help spawn the citadels, ie clear out a bunch of corruption and then pathing to new towers in the fog has a better chance to reveal citadels. Haven't had too much time to test it myself yet but seems plausible.
@@BluPhoenix I was headed that way anyway, looked busy under those clouds, Thought id just pick that way and keep going without getting distracted and taking any detours. Ill let ya know
I'm planning on doing one for each of the endgame systems. I'm hoping to be able to get another one out sometime over the weekend. Expedition will likely be the next one since someone else requested that yesterday, but after that will probably be Delirium, and then Ritual. Wish I could have them out quicker, but I've got a full time job and do this in my spare time, so it takes a while to learn all the systems/mechanics, farm the items required to do the boss fights, actually complete the boss fights, and then go through all the footage and edit it together into an easily digestible format for a youtube video. It's in the works though, and I'll have them out as soon as I can!
Any maps on the Atlas with the "Map Boss" icon. It's a yellow/brown icon, if you're not sure which one you can check the Map Legend in the top left on the Atlas.
I'm not even up to t15 maps yet and I found 2 citadels very close together not far from where I started.. unfortunately they are both the stone citadel.
I'm hoping to in the near future, but still working my way through those systems and figuring stuff out. Each of the others requires farming up items to get to pinnacle boss fights, so it's taking a bit. I think Breach will be the next one I do.
@@pasta1169 after you find all 3 citadels and defeat the Uber bosses then you have to go back to the burning monolith and fight the pinnacle boss. Defeating the pinnacle boss I believe will give you your first two points for that tree. And then defeating it again on a higher difficulty (with the new points spent in that tree) should give you two more points. But each time requires finding the 3 citadels and defeating their bosses first. So it's likely gonna be a long grind to find and do them all to keep progressing that tree
@@Tikayy no it shouldn't be, are you using the Corrupted Infusion passive by chance? If so that can de-level your maps by 1. Make sure when you enter the map your Area level shows as 82
@@BluPhoenix when tabbed to see the map overlay, it said "monster level 82" top right. Kept screenshot in case I was crazy :p And no, I'm not using that node.
@@Tikayy Hmm did you double check that you have all 6 points allocated in your Boss Skill Tree? That's required to get the difficulty modifiers, otherwise it wont count. Aside from that I'm not sure what else it could be though.
@@BluPhoenix Yep, I had the additional strongbox passive going. If I figure out why I'll reply it here, but I can't say I'm bothered with vaal'ing my maps right now xD
Are the passive books not guaranteed drops ive tried all 4 of these and have only got the first 2. Also i may have died with one on the ground once does that matter?
Hmm I don't think it should matter that you died with one on the ground but I'm not 100% sure as that didn't happen to me. I haven't heard of that being an issue though. Be sure you're not using the "Corrupted Infusion" passive as it can de-level your maps. If you have 2 of the books make sure all 4 of your points are spent and next you need to do a level 81+ map and then after that you'll need to spend your 5th and 6th points before you attempt the 82+ map, otherwise it won't drop
@@BluPhoenix yeah I just had the same issue, it was exactly what you said. idk why I must've just forgot to allocate the points but you cannot progress it unless you do so. thanks for that!
I just took 2 Citadels, Stone and Iron, Iron I failed first time, then it appeared around 15 maps away, The why you know it is a Citadel is a light comes up from the clouds.
Do you have the skill "Corrupted Infusion" in the Atlas Passive Tree? If so, that can de-level your maps by 1, so remove that for now. If not, some people have reported issues with a boss not dropping it on a specific map, Vaal Factory I believe, so if that's the map you were on maybe just try another.
Correct, then another book with 2 points from a level 81 map boss, and the last book with 2 points from a level 82 map boss. Keep in mind that the boss difficulty also needs to increase so for the 3rd book you need to have spent your first 4 points, and for the 4th you need to have spent 6 points.
So I stumbled my way into a run to kill the boss after finding thr 3 citadels and got the book from Dory. What the heck even are they and where do I use them?
The book from the Arbiter of Ash? There's a skill tree directly above the Boss Skill Tree specifically for the Arbiter of Ash. Killing the Arbiter the first time & Completing the Flame Pinnacle Quest I believe should earn you 2 points for both the Boss Skill Tree and the Arbiter Skill Tree above it.
The portion in the tips about saving corrupted bosses is something you may want to keep in mind before T15, otherwise it can be a pain to get corrupted + irradiated boss maps, which you'll need toward the end
For some reason the boss didn't drop the spell book for my 7th and 8th point after doing a level 81 map. Pretty annoying since it took me ages to get a boss with corruption and irradiated 😒
The 7th and 8th point require a level 82 map, which is Tier 16 with both corrupted and irradiated. Also make sure you're not using the passive skill "Corrupted Infusion" because that can de-level your maps, bringing it from a level 82 down to a level 81 map
@@giray899 you would still need to do them 4 times for all 8 points, and you would have to spend your points between each kill because the boss difficulty level required increases for each subsequent kill. So yes they could all be done on level 82 maps, but not all at once.
Sooo I was missing the last ascending challenge (3 out of 4) and after completing a T15 boss map, it gave me a book with the last 2 ascending points. This is normal or my game bugged out?
Okay so I did this a little differently. My first two points came from just a simple tear 15 map on an unmodded boss map. My second set came from a similar unmodded boss map but I used the tier 16 map. Both of those went fine. For my third set, I chose either a corrupted or irradiated node with a boss and use the tier 16. In theory this should have given me the third book correct? But it didn't. And yes I made sure to spend my previous points before running the third
I don't have a guide myself, but the build I'm using is loosely based off of Raxxanterax's Lightning Arrow Deadeye guide: ua-cam.com/video/Wx1eeBH5RgU/v-deo.html It's not a 1 to 1 copy, I modified it a bit based on my own personal experience and issues I've ran into, so in addition to what he uses I'm using Escape Shot and Freezing Salvo to help me get out of sticky situations, and I also grabbed a couple extra passive nodes (notably Combat Alchemy) to help with flasks and mana regen because I was struggling a bit with that. It's not perfect but it's suited me well so far.
As far as I'm aware, if you're 6/8 then you need to do the 82 boss fight, T16 with both corruption and irradiated, while having 6 points spent in your tree. Even if you already did the boss at level 82 before, it would count as whatever the lowest tier was that you needed, so for your 7th and 8th you will still have to do it at 82 with all your points spent.
U can force specific maps to be irradiated - check tables how many maps will be irradiated then do the maps near the tower but the ones that u want to have them irradiated - problem solved.
IDK why this isn't working for me, im trying to get my 5-6 points, i used all my ponits on the tree, and i used t16 map on corrupted+irradiated area, and kill the boss and still i got 0 points, idk whats wrong with the game.
I am like you, stuck with only 4 points, not able to get the 5-6 points. I have tried clearing the map area level 81 & 82, but still not getting the 5-6 points. Please let me know if you have found a way to overcome this.
Be sure you don't have the "Corrupted Infusion" atlas passive node, it has a possibility to de-level your maps. For the last 2 (assuming you mean points 7 & 8) when you load into the map if you hit tab in the top right it should show Area Level 82. If that's the case then it should work, unless there's a bug or something else going on that I'm unaware of. If by last 2 you mean points 9 and 10, those come from completing the Pinnacle of Flame quest and defeating the Arbiter of Ash.
@@SolidBold00 No, as stated in the video (at 3:21) and in my previous comment, the last two points come from completing the Pinnacle of Flame Quest and defeating Arbiter of Ash
@@BluPhoenixcan you help me? I'm stuck on points 5 and 6 aka book 3 despite clearing 2 level 81 maps and making sure all passives were spent. Could I have messed up the order? I'm at a total loss
Do you have any points yet? If you've killed a 79 or 80 already and got a skill point book then you need to spend those two skill points, which in turn increases the difficulty of your bosses. Each subsequent kill requires a higher level AND higher difficulty to earn more points
It should be near your starting point (The Ziggurat Refuge, with the home icon), mine is 5 nodes away from that, just past the Realmgate. Layout might be slightly different for you, but I'm pretty sure it's always within a screen or two of the starting point. Also if you look at 3:27 you see the red skill icon? That's a waypoint that should always be available once you've found it, so look around the edges of your screen for that, and click on it if you see it, it will take you right to it.
there are some wrong advices tho, you should NEVER spend your atlas skillpoints on waystone and tablet drops, there are plenty and you always buy decent ones for cheap! tablet effect/monster amount are way more important to talent for (more xp more loot) :)
I'll be honest the rng on corrupted tiles with boss on top then rng with irridated by tower is such trash time consuming system. Something is just backwards compare to poe1.
Completely agree. At one point I cleared out almost all the maps close to two towers that had 2 corrupted bosses nearby and popped irradiated tablets in them and combined they hit like every single map that was in range of the tower but out of range of me pathing to (because they weren't directly connected), and neither of the boss maps. So frustrating...
to find the citadels you can use any lost tower to find it but your looking for a specific skeleton near the stairs exit when u almost finish the map. it will show u the direction u need to head to find them
Correct, that's the Pinnacle of Flame quest. I haven't found the citadels so I couldn't include much of that in my footage, but Arbiter of Ash is the final piece of the Pinnacle of Flame quest, as far as I'm aware.
Do you have all 6 points spent? If not, they need to be. If you have, do you happen to be using the "Corrupted Infusion" passive skill? That can de-level your maps, so that could be the issue. I also had an issue once on Vaal Factory where I wasn't awarded a point and read on reddit some others that had trouble with that map as well, so it may be bugged, if that's the map you were on
150+ hours in endgame still haven't found a single citadel yet, tried all different stupid conspiracies. It has to change, not fun not being able to do all content because of shitty rng.
Yeah its rough... I'm somewhere around 200 hours at endgame and just last night I started to see one in the distance. Only thing I can say is that I cleared out a few corrupted maps and towers right before mine showed up and I was traveling away from the starting zone. I don't know how much if any of that matters, or if I just got lucky, though. Good luck, hopefully you find some soon.
got 8/10 fast but then removed the points again after realizing bosses have 6 times the hp and to mutch damage after allocating 8 points... my dmg sucks^^
@@Saiperia well if you managed to get the kills for 8/10 fast you must not have had THAT much trouble with them... Might just be one or two little gear upgrades (or a couple passive tree changes) away from being able to handle them comfortably.
@@BluPhoenix its just not worth my tike to pummel a boss for 2-3 min if i can kill him in 30 sec without the 6 points more invested also some of them just oneshot me whith every slam they do if i go 8 points into boss tree. if i die i get no loot at all^^
i cant even get to drop a tier3 maps while in tier10+ maps because of stupid RNG, so getting all those planets align just to get a single point is insane lol tired of farming tier1-2 maps juste because no maps drops
Yeah it can be rough. Make sure you're spending your points in the Atlas Tree on improving waystone drop chance and tier, and that you're using orbs to upgrade both your waystones and precursor tablets. Also using rare waystones on Boss maps helps, I almost always get multiple waystones of appropriate level from bosses.
Also remember you can use the forging table to combine 3 of any tier map to make 1 higher tier, for example 3 tier 1 maps will give you 1 tier 2 map, hope this helps
Bullshit. I killed the lvl81 boss, Irradiated and corrupted and nothing dropped. Who came up with this stupidity? Who said that? GGG? There is no clue in the game about this and the game is completely broken and full of bugs.
Double check that you don't have "Corrupted Infusion" in the Atlas Passive Tree, as it can de-level your maps. Also be sure that you've spent all of your Boss Tree points. If you've done that, and are defeating a level 81 then that should earn you a book each time until you have 6 points. I did have it bug out on me once I believe, and have heard of others having issues specifically with the boss in Vaal Factory not rewarding the points, but otherwise that should be all there is to it.
The bodies on the towers lead you in the direction like a compass, follow the corrupted ground, 90% of the time they are near water/on the coast, 1 small building on the mountain near by, small aztec like temples for the stone citadel, tents in sand for copper citadel, houses with straw roofs is the iron citadel. That’s all we know so far as a community, good luck! Edit: since people are still using this month old video for information I’ll edit this to date 2/1/25. Fact-small aztec like temples for the stone citadel, tents in sand for copper citadel, houses with straw roofs is the iron citadel. My experience- you can clear up to the fog not see any beams after clearing a certain amount though a beam will appear feels like it’s programmed that way since the patch, on last patch they all reset (the completed ones) so free fragments again, if I think of or I come across more citadel information I will update this.
Wait can you re explain this? Is this comment all in regards to citadels? When you say tower do you mean like before fog clears there are bodies on the tower nodes? Or you mean in the actual tower?
@@vzwson4995yup, pure bullshit just to prolong playtime. What worse is that if you fail any of the citadel, simulacrum, breach or the arbiter, you start your endless journey to find those "keys" again 😂😂😂😂😂
I killed the trial master finally and after the fight his shrine thing was glowing but I couldn’t click it to get any passive points ? Wasn’t I supposed to get skill points for one of the trees? Soo confused.. this sucks as it takes forever to do runs to get the key pieces and then kill him. Fucking buggy game
The Trial Master doesn't give you points for one of the Atlas Trees, it should give you your final two points for your Ascendancy, if you did it on the right level. I personally can't speak too much beyond that as I haven't done that yet, I'm only 6/8 for my Ascendancy, maybe someone else can chime in.

So you need to kill a big bosses, not just a random map bosses? Is there a way to see a big boss map, or is it just random?
Any maps on the Atlas with the "Map Boss" icon. It's a yellow/brown icon, if you're not sure which one you can check the Map Legend in the top left on the Atlas.
I'm not even up to t15 maps yet and I found 2 citadels very close together not far from where I started.. unfortunately they are both the stone citadel.
Oh wow, too bad they're the same one but still a nice start! Hopefully the others aren't too hard to track down. I'm still looking for my first 😅
Can anyone help? Cant get my 3rd book to drop.
Can you do videos on the other skill trees??
I'm hoping to in the near future, but still working my way through those systems and figuring stuff out. Each of the others requires farming up items to get to pinnacle boss fights, so it's taking a bit. I think Breach will be the next one I do.
@ what’s the skill tree above the one mentioned in this video?
@@pasta1169 after you find all 3 citadels and defeat the Uber bosses then you have to go back to the burning monolith and fight the pinnacle boss. Defeating the pinnacle boss I believe will give you your first two points for that tree. And then defeating it again on a higher difficulty (with the new points spent in that tree) should give you two more points. But each time requires finding the 3 citadels and defeating their bosses first. So it's likely gonna be a long grind to find and do them all to keep progressing that tree
Took a while to get a t16 waystone and get a +2 boss spot, though didn't get the skillbook...
Is this chance based or?
@@Tikayy no it shouldn't be, are you using the Corrupted Infusion passive by chance? If so that can de-level your maps by 1. Make sure when you enter the map your Area level shows as 82
@@BluPhoenix when tabbed to see the map overlay, it said "monster level 82" top right.
Kept screenshot in case I was crazy :p
And no, I'm not using that node.
@@Tikayy Hmm did you double check that you have all 6 points allocated in your Boss Skill Tree? That's required to get the difficulty modifiers, otherwise it wont count. Aside from that I'm not sure what else it could be though.
@@BluPhoenix Yep, I had the additional strongbox passive going.
If I figure out why I'll reply it here, but I can't say I'm bothered with vaal'ing my maps right now xD
@@Tikayy did u figure it out m8
Are the passive books not guaranteed drops ive tried all 4 of these and have only got the first 2. Also i may have died with one on the ground once does that matter?
Hmm I don't think it should matter that you died with one on the ground but I'm not 100% sure as that didn't happen to me. I haven't heard of that being an issue though. Be sure you're not using the "Corrupted Infusion" passive as it can de-level your maps. If you have 2 of the books make sure all 4 of your points are spent and next you need to do a level 81+ map and then after that you'll need to spend your 5th and 6th points before you attempt the 82+ map, otherwise it won't drop
@@BluPhoenix yeah I just had the same issue, it was exactly what you said.
idk why I must've just forgot to allocate the points but you cannot progress it unless you do so.
thanks for that!
@@redspaniard8707 No problem, glad you figured it out!
I just took 2 Citadels, Stone and Iron, Iron I failed first time, then it appeared around 15 maps away,
The why you know it is a Citadel is a light comes up from the clouds.
This used to not be in the game. it's easy to find citadels now. i think bigger issue is getting points for OTHER activities.
I defeated a level 82 boss, and didn't drop the book of Knoledge IV, I have all 6 points allocated, any ideas?
Do you have the skill "Corrupted Infusion" in the Atlas Passive Tree? If so, that can de-level your maps by 1, so remove that for now. If not, some people have reported issues with a boss not dropping it on a specific map, Vaal Factory I believe, so if that's the map you were on maybe just try another.
Commenting for the algorithm
found my second citidel, stone and copper, looking for my third one now
so: 1-2 points for 79(1 book)
3-4 points for 80 (1 book)
Am I getting it right?
Correct, then another book with 2 points from a level 81 map boss, and the last book with 2 points from a level 82 map boss. Keep in mind that the boss difficulty also needs to increase so for the 3rd book you need to have spent your first 4 points, and for the 4th you need to have spent 6 points.
@@BluPhoenix Thanks!
@@filipglad No problem!
I die to maps from ground effects, that get rendered underneath the visible terrain texture. I lose the boss map and I only had 1 try.
Yeah, they need to make some adjustments for the ground effects, it can get insane with all the visual clutter, especially for some high aoe builds
So I stumbled my way into a run to kill the boss after finding thr 3 citadels and got the book from Dory.
What the heck even are they and where do I use them?
The book from the Arbiter of Ash? There's a skill tree directly above the Boss Skill Tree specifically for the Arbiter of Ash. Killing the Arbiter the first time & Completing the Flame Pinnacle Quest I believe should earn you 2 points for both the Boss Skill Tree and the Arbiter Skill Tree above it.
Easiest way to find the citadels: Follow the Lost Towers
Oh so I have to get to t15. I’ll watch this later lol
The portion in the tips about saving corrupted bosses is something you may want to keep in mind before T15, otherwise it can be a pain to get corrupted + irradiated boss maps, which you'll need toward the end
For some reason the boss didn't drop the spell book for my 7th and 8th point after doing a level 81 map. Pretty annoying since it took me ages to get a boss with corruption and irradiated 😒
The 7th and 8th point require a level 82 map, which is Tier 16 with both corrupted and irradiated. Also make sure you're not using the passive skill "Corrupted Infusion" because that can de-level your maps, bringing it from a level 82 down to a level 81 map
Another tip to find the citadels is to look for the corrupted towers (the ones with the vines growing on it)
Thats false and darth already proved it
@@jethroise6245 ok well I guess the citadels I find are fake then
can you do directly lvl 82 map and get all 8 points?
@@giray899 you would still need to do them 4 times for all 8 points, and you would have to spend your points between each kill because the boss difficulty level required increases for each subsequent kill. So yes they could all be done on level 82 maps, but not all at once.
Sooo I was missing the last ascending challenge (3 out of 4) and after completing a T15 boss map, it gave me a book with the last 2 ascending points.
This is normal or my game bugged out?
@@Lagalpb 👀 definitely not normal, I'm still 3/4 for ascendancies
@BluPhoenix I wonder if I can still get the points from the chaos trials 🤔
@@Lagalpb Do the keys still have the text saying they will award points? Keep me posted if you try it, super curious
@BluPhoenix I will let you know. I have been traveling for the past few days, so I won't be able to play
Okay so I did this a little differently. My first two points came from just a simple tear 15 map on an unmodded boss map.
My second set came from a similar unmodded boss map but I used the tier 16 map.
Both of those went fine. For my third set, I chose either a corrupted or irradiated node with a boss and use the tier 16. In theory this should have given me the third book correct? But it didn't. And yes I made sure to spend my previous points before running the third
Whats the build in the video? Any guide?
I don't have a guide myself, but the build I'm using is loosely based off of Raxxanterax's Lightning Arrow Deadeye guide: ua-cam.com/video/Wx1eeBH5RgU/v-deo.html It's not a 1 to 1 copy, I modified it a bit based on my own personal experience and issues I've ran into, so in addition to what he uses I'm using Escape Shot and Freezing Salvo to help me get out of sticky situations, and I also grabbed a couple extra passive nodes (notably Combat Alchemy) to help with flasks and mana regen because I was struggling a bit with that. It's not perfect but it's suited me well so far.
Wish there was a checklist like that achievements tab that shows what I’m missing. I’m 6/8 and can’t figure out which I’m missing.
As far as I'm aware, if you're 6/8 then you need to do the 82 boss fight, T16 with both corruption and irradiated, while having 6 points spent in your tree. Even if you already did the boss at level 82 before, it would count as whatever the lowest tier was that you needed, so for your 7th and 8th you will still have to do it at 82 with all your points spent.
@ I might of not spent the pointsssss ahhhh. Sheesh.
U can force specific maps to be irradiated - check tables how many maps will be irradiated then do the maps near the tower but the ones that u want to have them irradiated - problem solved.
I found 2 citadels already, super easy, there's a big beam over them on the map XDDDD (post patch =)
Can you get 81 boss by using T16 on a corrupted OR irradiated map?
That should work, yeah. I haven't personally tested it, but see no reason why it wouldn't work
It works
IDK why this isn't working for me, im trying to get my 5-6 points, i used all my ponits on the tree, and i used t16 map on corrupted+irradiated area, and kill the boss and still i got 0 points, idk whats wrong with the game.
Are you using the passive skill "Corrupted Infusion" by chance? If so, that can cause a map to de-level
@BluPhoenix as far as i know, i dont use it but im gonna remove all atlas points and try like that next time
I am like you, stuck with only 4 points, not able to get the 5-6 points. I have tried clearing the map area level 81 & 82, but still not getting the 5-6 points. Please let me know if you have found a way to overcome this.
I just did a radiated+corrupted T16 boss map and didnt get the last 2 points.. wtf am I missing? I cant get it to complete the last points
Be sure you don't have the "Corrupted Infusion" atlas passive node, it has a possibility to de-level your maps. For the last 2 (assuming you mean points 7 & 8) when you load into the map if you hit tab in the top right it should show Area Level 82. If that's the case then it should work, unless there's a bug or something else going on that I'm unaware of. If by last 2 you mean points 9 and 10, those come from completing the Pinnacle of Flame quest and defeating the Arbiter of Ash.
@@BluPhoenix I thought the last points for boss atlas tree was just doing corrupted+radiated T16 map a second time, no?
@@SolidBold00 No, as stated in the video (at 3:21) and in my previous comment, the last two points come from completing the Pinnacle of Flame Quest and defeating Arbiter of Ash
@ ok I didn’t see that listed in the video when I watched it so must have missed it, appreciate it!
@@BluPhoenixcan you help me? I'm stuck on points 5 and 6 aka book 3 despite clearing 2 level 81 maps and making sure all passives were spent.
Could I have messed up the order? I'm at a total loss
It says for me "Slay a boss in an area level 79+ map to earn points to this tree". I Killed lvl 80 boss and didn't get any points. What is going on
Do you have any points yet? If you've killed a 79 or 80 already and got a skill point book then you need to spend those two skill points, which in turn increases the difficulty of your bosses. Each subsequent kill requires a higher level AND higher difficulty to earn more points
@@BluPhoenix All is good. I did t18 map for 5-6 and i thought it will give me 7-8 as well. Turns out i had to do t18 second time for 7-8
@@murzyn4201 Ah gotcha, glad you got it figured out!
I’ve only done a handful of t15 and I have all three citadels within one screen of each other and a double copper. It’s BS levels of random
That's crazy, they really need to make some adjustments to the system...
300-350 maps for me so far and no citadel in sight. They need to change this.
Yeah, same, still haven't come across a single one, feelsbadman
@@BluPhoenixright after I posted this I found my first one! Lucky me!
@@urgatorb8 oh nice! Hopefully some of that luck rubs off on me haha
I must be doing something wrong because I’m T15 and looked all over the map and I don’t even see the monolith lmao
It should be near your starting point (The Ziggurat Refuge, with the home icon), mine is 5 nodes away from that, just past the Realmgate. Layout might be slightly different for you, but I'm pretty sure it's always within a screen or two of the starting point. Also if you look at 3:27 you see the red skill icon? That's a waypoint that should always be available once you've found it, so look around the edges of your screen for that, and click on it if you see it, it will take you right to it.
I've seen 4 stone and 2 Iron citadels so far but no Copper
Hopefully you'll luck out and find 2 copper back to back and be able to do it twice soon
@BluPhoenix ty sir, I wish you twice of that 😊
How to get map boss skill 9-10?
You have to complete the Pinnacle of Flame quest and defeat the Arbiter of Ash
there are some wrong advices tho, you should NEVER spend your atlas skillpoints on waystone and tablet drops, there are plenty and you always buy decent ones for cheap!
tablet effect/monster amount are way more important to talent for (more xp more loot) :)
I'll be honest the rng on corrupted tiles with boss on top then rng with irridated by tower is such trash time consuming system.
Something is just backwards compare to poe1.
Completely agree. At one point I cleared out almost all the maps close to two towers that had 2 corrupted bosses nearby and popped irradiated tablets in them and combined they hit like every single map that was in range of the tower but out of range of me pathing to (because they weren't directly connected), and neither of the boss maps. So frustrating...
@@BluPhoenix same happens to me, it seems like the modifier goes rather to nodes that have nothing on it than to nodes that have any mechanic on it.
i found a citadel when i used a t15 on a tower
to find the citadels you can use any lost tower to find it but your looking for a specific skeleton near the stairs exit when u almost finish the map. it will show u the direction u need to head to find them
If u want to earn 9/10 u have to kill arbiter of ash.
Correct, that's the Pinnacle of Flame quest. I haven't found the citadels so I couldn't include much of that in my footage, but Arbiter of Ash is the final piece of the Pinnacle of Flame quest, as far as I'm aware.
Found all 3 but died on 2/3
brutal 😩
I killed several bosses lvl 82 and still sitting at 6 points
Do you have all 6 points spent? If not, they need to be. If you have, do you happen to be using the "Corrupted Infusion" passive skill? That can de-level your maps, so that could be the issue. I also had an issue once on Vaal Factory where I wasn't awarded a point and read on reddit some others that had trouble with that map as well, so it may be bugged, if that's the map you were on
@@BluPhoenix yeah all points spent just keep trying i guess
150+ hours in endgame still haven't found a single citadel yet, tried all different stupid conspiracies. It has to change, not fun not being able to do all content because of shitty rng.
Yeah its rough... I'm somewhere around 200 hours at endgame and just last night I started to see one in the distance. Only thing I can say is that I cleared out a few corrupted maps and towers right before mine showed up and I was traveling away from the starting zone. I don't know how much if any of that matters, or if I just got lucky, though. Good luck, hopefully you find some soon.
got 8/10 fast but then removed the points again after realizing bosses have 6 times the hp and to mutch damage after allocating 8 points... my dmg sucks^^
@@Saiperia well if you managed to get the kills for 8/10 fast you must not have had THAT much trouble with them... Might just be one or two little gear upgrades (or a couple passive tree changes) away from being able to handle them comfortably.
@@BluPhoenix its just not worth my tike to pummel a boss for 2-3 min if i can kill him in 30 sec without the 6 points more invested also some of them just oneshot me whith every slam they do if i go 8 points into boss tree. if i die i get no loot at all^^
No. I'm not doing another map again. Done.
🤣
who else did the level 82 boss without spending the skills points from the 81 boss before watching this video? just me
ouch, that's rough... hopefully you had other Corrupted + Irradiated Boss Maps available/nearby
*cries*
340 hours in, zero Citadels, 4 boss points. 💩
You'll find some soon, surely... 😅
Stop playing while u can before u put in 300 hours and find out you have 3 fps on console
i cant even get to drop a tier3 maps while in tier10+ maps because of stupid RNG, so getting all those planets align just to get a single point is insane lol tired of farming tier1-2 maps juste because no maps drops
Yeah it can be rough. Make sure you're spending your points in the Atlas Tree on improving waystone drop chance and tier, and that you're using orbs to upgrade both your waystones and precursor tablets. Also using rare waystones on Boss maps helps, I almost always get multiple waystones of appropriate level from bosses.
Also remember you can use the forging table to combine 3 of any tier map to make 1 higher tier, for example 3 tier 1 maps will give you 1 tier 2 map, hope this helps
Bullshit. I killed the lvl81 boss, Irradiated and corrupted and nothing dropped. Who came up with this stupidity? Who said that? GGG?
There is no clue in the game about this and the game is completely broken and full of bugs.
Double check that you don't have "Corrupted Infusion" in the Atlas Passive Tree, as it can de-level your maps. Also be sure that you've spent all of your Boss Tree points. If you've done that, and are defeating a level 81 then that should earn you a book each time until you have 6 points. I did have it bug out on me once I believe, and have heard of others having issues specifically with the boss in Vaal Factory not rewarding the points, but otherwise that should be all there is to it.
The bodies on the towers lead you in the direction like a compass, follow the corrupted ground, 90% of the time they are near water/on the coast, 1 small building on the mountain near by, small aztec like temples for the stone citadel, tents in sand for copper citadel, houses with straw roofs is the iron citadel. That’s all we know so far as a community, good luck!
Edit: since people are still using this month old video for information I’ll edit this to date 2/1/25. Fact-small aztec like temples for the stone citadel, tents in sand for copper citadel, houses with straw roofs is the iron citadel. My experience- you can clear up to the fog not see any beams after clearing a certain amount though a beam will appear feels like it’s programmed that way since the patch, on last patch they all reset (the completed ones) so free fragments again, if I think of or I come across more citadel information I will update this.
Thanks for the tips!
All that for one boss attempt lol. Clown show/
Wait can you re explain this? Is this comment all in regards to citadels? When you say tower do you mean like before fog clears there are bodies on the tower nodes? Or you mean in the actual tower?
@@vzwson4995yup, pure bullshit just to prolong playtime. What worse is that if you fail any of the citadel, simulacrum, breach or the arbiter, you start your endless journey to find those "keys" again 😂😂😂😂😂

The Trial Master doesn't give you points for one of the Atlas Trees, it should give you your final two points for your Ascendancy, if you did it on the right level. I personally can't speak too much beyond that as I haven't done that yet, I'm only 6/8 for my Ascendancy, maybe someone else can chime in.
