Atlas & Mapping — The Endgame Backbone

After the campaign, the Atlas of Worlds — a giant interconnected map — opens up. Most of the endgame happens here.

Waystones

Each map is entered with a Waystone, a consumable that sets the area level (difficulty and loot quality).

• Tiers run I – XV (15 tiers).
• You start dropping Tier I; higher-level monsters drop the next tier, scaling upward.
• Run tiers your character can handle comfortably.

Progress by shortest path

Run maps, kill bosses, reveal the Atlas, unlock nearby objectives. You don’t need to run every map.

• Earn Atlas passives by completing maps in the Precursor Fortress.
• Path to quest objectives via the shortest route (fewest maps).
• Reaching the Pinnacle boss in the fortress tower lets each kill auto-complete a large section (~40 maps at once).

Atlas passives

Customize your mapping (e.g., boosting specific league mechanics). In 0.5, an Expedition-specific Atlas passive tree also lets you tune Expedition encounters.

Raise Waystone tiers comfortably, move by shortest path to objectives, and use Pinnacle bosses to clear sections at once.
