Reach Awakening Level 8 & Sirus, Awakener of Worlds

Reach Awakening Level 8

Tip: To quickly get to Awakening Level 8 without chasing the conquerers, buy cheap Chromuium or Titanium watchstones and fill all the citadel sockets in your Atlas.

The Awakening Level of the Atlas is determined by the amount of Watchstones applied to the Atlas.

The Atlas now has only four regions: Haewark Hamlet, Valdo’s Rest, Glennach Cairns, and Lira Arthain. The number of obtainable Watchstones has been reduced to 16 (previously 32), and there are now 118 Maps on the Atlas (previously 164).

The highest Awakening Level obtainable using only watchstones is A8, however after the Echoes of the Atlas expansion, players can obtain A9 using the Atlas Awakened skill from The Uncharted Realms Atlas passive skill tree.

Awakening Level Increase the Difficulty

Awakening Levels increase the difficulty of all map bosses due to the "Unique map boss has X% more life", but grant bonuses to item drops when killing those bosses. It also enables Awakened Atlas completion bonuses at higher levels, granting further bonuses to map drops.

Each Awakening Level adds the following:

  • Unique Map Boss has 3% more Life
  • +1% chance for an additional connected Map to drop from Unique Map Boss
  • +0.5% chance for a Shaper Guardian Map to drop from Unique Map Boss (Tier 14+)
  • +0.5% chance for an Elder Guardian Map to drop from Unique Map Boss (Tier 14+)
  • +1% chance for an additional Unique Item to drop from Unique Map Boss
  • +1% chance for additional Map Currency Item to drop from Unique Map Boss
  • Increased chance per Awakening Level for the Conquerors of the Atlas to drop additional rewards
  • 5% increased chance for Influenced Items to drop in Maps influenced by the Conquerors of the Atlas

Awakening Completion Bonus

Awakened Atlas completion bonuses are acquired by completing the map at a certain Awakening Level or higher. In order to complete an Awakening Bonus Objective, it is merely required to finish the map at it's maximum tier while it is influenced by four Watchstones, while the Awakening Level requirement is met. Rarity or corruption of the map is irrelevant.

  • 1% increased effect of Modifiers on non-unique Maps (per 4 Awakening Bonus)

PoE scourge changes: Each 4 awakening bonus objectives you complete increases the effect of Modifiers on Non-Unique Maps by 1% (previously each 6).

Path of Exile - How To: Sirus, Awakener of Worlds

  • Default Attack – Fires a ranged beam forward. It has a delay and can be sidestepped.
  • Corridor Blast – 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 through him.
  • Meteor Maze – Creates a ring maze that traps the player in its center. 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.
    • most damaging single ability in the encounter
    • summons all players in the zone to the centre of the maze
  • Hyper Beam Barrage – Teleports and charges up, then fires multiple larger beams in front of him, dealing random elemental damage. In later phases, the attack has some sideways tracking.
    • often freezes and chills the player due to its high cold damage
  • Multiclone Beam (final phase) – 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 charge up an extremely damaging beam attack, and fire it midway through the voice line he uses during it, as seen below. The capitalised text is when he fires.
    • “Feel the thrill of THE VOID!”
    • “You will long for NONEXISTANCE.”
    • “Meaning is-” Second-long pause “-AN ILLUSION.”
  • Spinning Negation Beams (final phase) – 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.
  • Deatomization Storm – Sirus returns to his throne, the safety zone is removed, and a Deatomization Storm spawns on the ground at his location. This takes a number of seconds during which time, a pulsating knockback encourages the player to move away from the new Deatomization Storm. This throne phase will end if the player comes into close proximity with Sirus after the Deatomization Storm is created. He will use this attack when he reaches 75%, 50%, or 25% health; or if the player is outside of the safety zone for too long.
    • the player’s camera will zoom out to grant a greater field of view when the storm is about to be placed

Sirus will also have his projection attack the player occasionally (except in his last phase).

  • Converging Beams – 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.
  • Meteor Strike – Launches four meteors that land and deal AoE damage after a delay. The ground will flare up before they land. Launches many more meteors if you are not in the safety zone.
  • Meteor Geysers – Creates multiple geysers that deal damage over time. Creates many more geysers if you are not in the safety zone.
