PoE Shaper of Worlds: Defeat the Shaper

Shaper of Worlds

Defeat the Shaper.

The Shaper is one of the bosses of the Atlas end game system. He is a pinnacle boss in the The Shaper’s Realm. The Shaper also occasionally appears in Shaper-influenced maps. Players can fight the Shaper using the Key to the Crucible map fragments set. These map fragments can be obtained by defeating the Guardians of the Void.

Defeating the Shaper is guaranteed to drop a map fragment required for the Uber Elder encounter, either Fragment of Shape or Fragment of Knowledge. The other 2 fragments are dropped by The Elder.

Items influenced by the Shaper have a red star icon on its header and have unique Shaper modifiers. Shaper-influenced items can drop from the Shaper boss as well as from monsters killed in maps influenced by the Shaper.

Entry

Players must use the following fragments in their map device to fight The Shaper. They can be collected by fighting various bosses, and can also be traded amongst players.

  • Fragment of the Hydra – obtained by defeating the Lair of the Hydra Map boss
  • Fragment of the Chimera – obtained by defeating the Pit of the Chimera Map boss
  • Fragment of the Phoenix – obtained by defeating the Forge of the Phoenix Map boss
  • Fragment of the Minotaur – obtained by defeating the Maze of the Minotaur Map boss

The arena is called The Shaper’s Realm.

Recommendations

The following is recommended:

  • At least 1 million damage per second
  • Capped elemental resistances (fire, cold and lightning resistance at 75%); additional Maximum Cold Resistance is also useful for Shaper balls.
  • At least 5,000 combined Life and Energy Shield and a reliable source of recovery
  • Moderate mitigation or avoidance, including Physical damage reduction, Armour, Block, Spell Suppression
  • Movement skill to avoid Shaper’s slams and beams

The fight consists of multiple phases. Before the Shaper encounter begins, the player must defeat four side bosses at the nexus. After that a portal opens to the Shaper’s arena. The Shaper himself has three phases. At the end of the first and second phases he banishes Zana and the player to a passage while he heals up. The players must traverse the passage and return to the arena to begin the next phase. The Shaper recovers health slowly between phases.

  • If the player is hit, it deals:
    • Deals 100% of Damage
    • 33% more Attack Speed
Shaper Beam
(Spell)
  • 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

    • Deals 5639 to 8458 Cold Damage
    • Damage Penetrates 25% Cold Resistance
Teleport Slam
(Attack)
  • The Shaper disappears into the void, and teleports to the player and slams the ground, dealing heavy damage that can one-shot most builds.
  • To avoid this attack:
    • Players must notice that the Shaper has disappeared and maintain constant movement
    • When the Shaper reappears at the player’s location he will perform the Slam attack
    • If players were moving, they would have moved from their original location and avoided the attack
  • If players are anywhere within the purple circle, they will be dealt heavy damage:
    • Deals 300% of Damage
    • 50% less Attack Speed
Vortex
(Spell)
  • The Shaper fires a slow-moving grey ball that seeks the player
    • Once the ball touches the player, it will create a vortex on the ground, that deals heavy cold damage over time if players stand within it
    • Players must attract the balls to the edges of the arena to prevent the vortex from restricting the player’s mobility
    • Each vortex lasts for 25 seconds
    • Each vortex will be removed once the phase ends
  • To escape a vortex:
    • Players must immediately blink or run from it and continue attacking from another direction
    • If the Shaper is surrounded by portals, simply wait till he relocates or till some of the portals disappear
Monster Portal
  • The Shaper teleports to the side of the arena and opens a monster portal while he becomes immune to damage
  • The monster portal will spawn various kinds of shaped monsters, one at a time
  • The monsters will exit the portal and attack Zana and the player
  • Players must simply kill the monsters to prevent Zana from losing health
  • If she loses all her health, she retreats and slowly recovers health and while recovering she will be unable to create her protective bubble shield (see below)
  • This is the only time in the fight when Zana is vulnerable to damage
  • If Zana is successfully kept alive for several seconds during the portal phase, the portal is closed
Bullet Hell
(Spell)
  • The Shaper disappears from the arena and becomes invulnerable during this attack
  • The Shaper fills the arena with purple “bullet” projectiles that deal heavy damage
  • The only way to escape it is to stay within Zana’s protective red bubble
  • Each bullet will deal:
    • Deals 5639 to 8458 Cold Damage
    • Damage Penetrates 25% Cold Resistance
    • 11 additional Projectiles
Zana’s Bubble
  • Once per phase Zana will create a protective bubble shield
  • Players must stand in the bubble to avoid the Shaper’s attacks (typically the Bullet Hell attack)
  • Staying anywhere in the bubble’s hemisphere will protect the player, even if the character is almost at the edge of it
