How to Spawn Uber Elder

After defeating 3 Madness Propagators within 5 seconds

Madness Propagator is a monster spawned during the battle with the Elder and with Uber Elder. They can also be found in Elder-influenced maps.

Abilities:

  • Resists elemental damage
  • Fires a slow moving projectile that deals lightning damage
  • Creates a patch of eldritch decay beneath itself, which deals physical damage over time

Defeating 3 Madness Propagators

It is important to kill Madness Propagators soon after they appear, especially in the Absence of Value and Meaning. If left alive for long enough, a Madness Propagator will create a patch of eldritch decay beneath itself. In Elder-influenced areas, the eldritch decay will disappear after a while. However, the eldritch decay will remain indefinitely in the Absence of Value and Meaning.

Without taking damage from The Shaper’s Beam

The Shaper unleashes an extremely powerful beam that deals heavy damage over time if the player is hit by it.

  • The Shaper fires the beam aiming at the player, and once fired, the beam does NOT rotate to target the player
  • The player must dash away or run away from the beam area to avoid taking damage
  • The beam can kill most builds in 1-2 seconds if they stand within the beam constantly
  • The beam lasts for 3 seconds

Without being affected by The Shaper's Beam

If players touch it, the beam does ALL of the following:

  • Deals 5384 Fire Damage per second
  • Deals 4405 Cold Damage per second
  • Deals 6057 Lightning Damage per second

Without detonating any Volatile Anomalies

Volatile Anomalies create an orb which moves towards nearby enemies, exploding after a duration or when it gets close enough. The explosion deals cold spell damage in an area, and leaves behind a Vortex on the ground for a secondary duration which continues to deal cold damage over time and chill enemies caught in it.

  • At least 10 million damage per second (rolling over your main attack ability should show 100K+, because Path of Exile cannot calculate DPS properly)
  • A method to increase damage against unique enemies (such as Assassin’s Mark for critical strike-based builds)
  • Capped elemental resistances (fire, cold and lightning resistance at 75%)
  • At least 8,000 Effective hit points (Life pool)

Skills

The Elder is assisted by the Shaper in this battle. The battle essentially pits the player against both bosses, with some differences:

  • One of the bosses will be invulnerable, alternating between the two for every 25% health lost. The invulnerable boss will use less attacks than normal. When both bosses are at 25% health, both bosses will be vulnerable.
  • Volatile Anomalies and Madness Propagators will continuously spawn during the fight, alternating every 20 seconds.
  • There are no special phases from either boss.
  • At each 1/4 health lost from both bosses, the Elder or Shaper will spawn additional monsters.
    • The Elder will summon multiple Null Portals
    • The Shaper channels a monster portal like in his regular fight. Both are invulnerable during this phase.
  • The Elder does not use his Super Siphon attack or the debuff Crystalised Fear
  • The Shaper does not use his Shadow Clone or Bullet Hell attack.
