  • Faded Crisis Fragment: Your Key to The Burning Monolith and Arbiter of Ash

    Posted by Spencer on 30/07/2025 at 11:20 AM

    The Faded Crisis Fragment is one of three special Pinnacle Keys in Path of Exile 2, essential for unlocking access to The Burning Monolith, a high-end endgame area. Along with the other two fragments—Ancient Crisis Fragment and Weathered Crisis Fragment—it grants entry to face the pinnacle boss called the Arbiter of Ash. These fragments are prized items that mark late-endgame progression and are typically acquired by defeating powerful bosses in Citadels found on the Atlas map.

    Key points about the Faded Crisis Fragment and its role:

    • Source: The Faded Crisis Fragment is obtained by defeating the faction leader in the Copper Citadel, one of several special Citadel areas that spawn randomly on the Atlas map during endgame mapping.

    • Use: You need to collect all three Crisis Fragments (Faded, Ancient, and Weathered) to open the door in The Burning Monolith, which leads to the Arbiter of Ash fight.

    • Farming: Citadels require Tier 15 Waystones to enter and are considered high-level challenges. Players maximize their yield of Crisis Fragments by increasing Waystone drop chance through crafting and atlas skill tree choices.

    • Trading: Crisis Fragments, especially the Faded Crisis one, are valuable and often traded for large sums of high-tier currency like Exalted and Divine Orbs. Players decide between holding them to fight the Arbiter or selling for profit.

    • Challenge: The Arbiter of Ash is one of the toughest bosses in PoE 2, offering high stakes and rewarding loot, making the acquisition of Crisis Fragments an important milestone for top-tier players.

    • The Faded Crisis Fragment is your ticket to unlocking The Burning Monolith and challenging the Arbiter of Ash, representing a pinnacle of PoE 2’s endgame content. To obtain and make the most of it, focus on clearing Citadels, upgrading your Waystones for higher drop rates, and deciding whether to use or trade the fragments based on your build and goals.
