  • Unlocking the Burning Monolith: The Role of Weathered Crisis Fragments

    Posted by Spencer on 15/07/2025 at 11:25 AM

    The Burning Monolith in Path of Exile 2 is a pinnacle endgame challenge locked behind a set of three unique keys known as Crisis Fragments. These fragments—Ancient Crisis Fragment, Faded Crisis Fragment, and **Weathered Crisis Fragment**—are essential to unlocking the monolith and accessing its ultimate boss fight against the Arbiter of Ash.

    Role of Weathered Crisis Fragment in Unlocking the Burning Monolith

    – The Weathered Crisis Fragment is one of the three critical fragments required to open the locked door within the Burning Monolith.

    – Each fragment corresponds to a specific Citadel, a special map node found randomly in the Atlas of Worlds. Specifically, the Weathered Crisis Fragment drops from the Stone Citadel.

    – To obtain the Weathered Crisis Fragment, you must defeat the Uber Act Boss controlling the Stone Citadel, who is guarded by two lieutenants that must also be defeated to confront the leader.

    – Along with the Ancient and Faded Crisis Fragments (dropped respectively by Uber bosses in the Iron and Copper Citadels), the Weathered Fragment completes the key set needed to unlock the Monolith’s entrance.

    Accessing and Using the Fragments

    – After collecting all three Crisis Fragments, players return to the Burning Monolith location on the Atlas.

    – The monolith features a locked door with three sockets designed to hold these fragments.

    – Placing all three fragments into the door’s sockets unlocks access to the arena where the Arbiter of Ash awaits.

    – The fight with the Arbiter is one of the most challenging encounters in the game, demanding optimized builds, mobility, and tactical positioning.

    The Weathered Crisis Fragment serves as a vital key obtained by conquering the Stone Citadel Uber Act Boss. Alongside its two sibling fragments from the Iron and Copper Citadels, it unlocks the Burning Monolith door and opens the pathway to face the ultimate endgame boss, the Arbiter of Ash. Gathering these fragments requires mastery of late-game content and the ability to overcome formidable foes guarding each Citadel.
