Height of Hubris Keystone

Height of Hubris is a new Atlas Keystone Passive Skill.

• 100% increased effect of modifiers on your invitatations

1. Acquire the Maven's Beacon

In Path of Exile: Echoes of the Atlas, you’ll gain even more control over your end-game Path of Exile experience by specialising each region of your Atlas with its own passive tree, crafting Watchstones to refine your rewards, selecting up to ten map bosses to face simultaneously and challenging the Atlas’ new pinnacle boss: The Maven.

Maven's Beacon: call the Maven to witness and affect this map's boss encounter. Defeating the boss encounter will allow the Maven to replicate the fight in her own realm.

1. After running many maps, The Envoy will eventually make an appearance. This is totally random. After 4-5 appearances on various different maps, the Envoy will be highlighted and will mention that The Maven will be observing you. (Some players report that The Maven only first appears on Tier 5+ maps)
2. Kill the map boss, and as you can see The Maven is present in the boss arena and observing the battle.
3. After slaying the boss, The Maven will drop The Maven's Beacon, which is an untradable quest item. Pick it up.
4. Return to your hideout and add the Maven's Beacon into your Map Device by right-clicking the Beacon and clicking your Map Device. This permanently upgrades your Map Device, giving you the ability to summon The Maven on your maps.
5. Run the highest tier map you own within the same region, so that the Maven can observe the battle. Note that the Maven cannot witness unique map bosses. Click on the Call The Maven button which requests the The Maven to observe your battle.

After killing the last boss in the region observed by The Maven, she will drop an invitation. Pick it up.

2. Comlete The Maven's Challenge Rewards

Completing the Maven’s challenges offers the opportunity to acquire some very powerful new rewards:

• Awakened Gems no longer drop from Conquerors. Some Awakened Gems can now drop from The Maven's Crucible, with all Awakened Gems now being a possible drop from The Maven.
• The Watchstone system has also been removed, and replaced with Voidstones which are obtained by defeating The Uber Elder, The Maven, The Searing Exarch and The Eater of Worlds. These Voidstones raise the tiers of maps on your Atlas and can be augmented by Sextants.
• The Maven Orb is now called the Orb of Dominance, and no longer drops from Maven.
• Atlas Passive Skill Points: allocate passive skills in the Atlas Passive Tree.
• Craftable Watchstones: Chromium, Platinum, and Titanium Watchstones. These watchstones are craftable and tradeable.
• Orb of Unmaking: grants an atlas passive skill refund point.
• Crescent Splinter: combine 10 Crescent Splinters to create The Maven’s Writ.

Rewards from The Maven Changes 3.17

Improve these Uniques so they feel appropriate as a reward from an Endgame boss.

• Doppelgänger Guise: Now has 30-40% less Physical and Chaos Damage Taken while sane (previously 15-25%). Existing items can be updated with a Divine Orb.
• Arn's Anguish: Now has +1 to Maximum Endurance Charges. Existing items are unaffected by this change.
• Olesya's Delight: Now has +1 to Maximum Frenzy Charges. Existing items are unaffected by this change.
• Graven's Secret: Now has +1 to Maximum Power Charges. Existing items are unaffected by this change.
• Legacy of Fury: No longer has -15 to -10% to all Resistances, existing items can be updated with a Divine Orb. Now has "Nearby Enemies are Scorched" instead of "Drops Scorched Ground while moving, lasting 4 seconds", existing items are unaffected by this change.

3. Complete Maven's Challenges: Maven's Invitation

The Maven's Crucible is a boss arena where players fight multiple captured bosses simultaneously under the observation of The Maven. Players enter the crucible using a region-specific Maven's Invitation. Completing the Crucible awards players with 2 skill points for their Atlas passive skill tree in the same region as the invitation. The Crucible also provides The Maven's Gift which allows players to assign their skillpoints.

The Maven's Invitation is a map fragment, so add it into your Map Device and run it. 6 portals will open into The Maven's Crucible. Enter it to begin The Maven's Challenge.

Name	Details
Maven’s Invitation: The Atlas	N/A
Maven’s Invitation: The Elderslayers	The Maven must Witness: Al-Hezmin, the Hunter, Baran, the Crusader, Drox, the Warlord, Veritania, the Redeemer Modifiers to Item Quantity will affect the number of encounter rewards dropped
Maven’s Invitation: The Feared	The Maven must Witness: Cortex, Chayula’s Domain, The Alluring Abyss, The Shaper’s Realm, Absence of Value and Meaning Modifiers to Item Quantity will affect the number of encounter rewards dropped
Maven’s Invitation: The Forgotten	The Maven must Witness: Rewritten Distant Memory, Augmented Distant Memory, Altered Distant Memory, Twisted Distant Memory Modifiers to Item Quantity will affect the number of encounter rewards dropped
Maven’s Invitation: The Formed	The Maven must Witness: Lair of the Hydra, Maze of the Minotaur, Forge of the Phoenix, Pit of the Chimera Modifiers to Item Quantity will affect the number of encounter rewards dropped
Maven’s Invitation: The Hidden	The Maven must Witness: Uul-Netol’s Domain Xoph’s Domain Tul’s Domain Esh’s Domain Modifiers to Item Quantity will affect the number of encounter rewards dropped
Maven’s Invitation: The Twisted	The Maven must Witness: The Purifier, The Constrictor, The Enslaver, The Eradicator Modifiers to Item Quantity will affect the number of encounter rewards dropped

The Maven's Invitation map fragments only drop when you kill the required number of map bosses for The Maven, while the Maven is observing the map. If you have already captured 10 bosses and haven't yet received an invitation, you should receive a guaranteed invitation drop upon your next boss kill within that region.

Maven's Invitation Tier

Each Invitation has 5 tiers. The first 4 tiers are untradable quest items, and the 5th tier is a tradable map fragment. The area level is scaled by the number of bosses, as shown in the table below:

Invitation No.	Invitation Type	Area Level	Bosses	Passive Skill Points
1	Quest Item	73	3	2
2	Quest Item	75	4	2
3	Quest Item	78	5	2
4	Quest Item	80	6	2
5	Tradable Map Fragment	83	10	2 (only first completion)

You can get a total of 10 Atlas passive skill points per region.

The Maven's Crucible

The Maven's Crucible is an arena that contains all of the captured bosses within that region. Players must fight and defeat all the bosses simultaneously in order to win the battle. The final Crucible that contains 10 bosses is repeatable, similar to spawning Conquerors and Sirus.

Regional invitations have several different spawn patterns, including releasing monsters in pairs, on a timer, or all at once.

Endgame invitations spawn 2 monsters at once, then the other 2 after 20 seconds or if any are killed early. The Feared will spawn 2 monsters initially then the remaining 3 after 20 seconds.

Upon completion, it grants the player access to The Maven's Gift which allows players to assign skill points to their Atlas passive skill tree. Each boss fight grants 2 points for that Atlas region, except the repeatable 10-boss fight which only awards 2 skill points upon the first completion.

4. Complete The Maven Challenges

PoE Challenges: Complete The Maven's Crucible while it has at least the following number of bosses(Three, Four, Five, Six, or Ten).

• Location: The Maven's Crucible

The Maven's Crucible can only be accessed using the "Maven's Invitation" map fragments. It is a boss arena where players fight multiple captured bosses simultaneously under the observation of The Maven. Completing the Crucible awards players with 2 skill points for their Atlas passive skill tree. The Crucible also provides The Maven's Gift which allows players to assign their skillpoints.

1. Add a The Maven's Invitation map fragment into your map device and activate it.
2. 6 portals will open into The Maven's Crucible. Enter it to begin The Maven's Challenge.
3. All the bosses you have slain and captured will now be displayed in this realm. The Maven will be observing you. Go to the center of the area and click the device to start the encounter.
4. Defeat all of the bosses that have now re-appeared within the Maven's Crucible.
5. If you succeed, you will be presented with The Maven's Gift, a device that lets you allocate skill points into your Atlas passive skill tree.
6. Allocate Atlas passive skills.
7. After you are done, use the portals to return to your hideout.

The Maven really wants to push you to your limits, and has fabricated copies of the bosses she watched you defeat. This time, however, you’ll have to defeat them… simultaneously. If you manage to best her challenge, she’ll, politely ask you to do the whole cycle again. Except this time she wants to watch more, and tougher, fights, and her next challenge will contain four bosses. Then five, then six, and finally, ten. If you’re persistent and talented, you may even get to fight the Maven herself, in a very difficult boss encounter designed to challenge the strongest and best Path of Exile players.

• The Maven’s challenges have fixed monster levels, so the tier of the map doesn’t directly impact the level of the map boss when you fight it again. Harder Maven challenges do also require that you capture bosses in higher-tier maps though.
• Boss skills that are usually tied to that boss’s arena have generally been adjusted to make sense in the context of the Maven’s challenges rather than being removed entirely. Exactly how this was done was on a case-by-case basis.
• Upon defeating both bosses in twinned maps, the Maven will add one copy to her challenge.
• It’s opened from the Map Device and there are six portals like normal. if you die in The Maven’s challenge, you can re-enter if you have enough portals left.

5. Fight The Maven herself

The Maven’s Writ is a map fragment. It is required to fight The Maven herself.

Open a portal to Absence of Mercy and Empathy by using The Maven’s Writ map fragment in a personal Map Device.

How to get The Maven’s Writ?

• Combine 10 Crescent Splinters to create The Maven’s Writ. Crescent Splinter can be dropped by completing The Maven's challenge.
• Randomly drop: the drop level of The Maven’s Writ is 83.
• Buy it from other players: the price of The Maven’s Writ is about 6 Exalted Orbs.

The Maven Rewards

• Maven’s Orb currency item can only as a rare drop from The Maven herself.
• Elevated Sextant currency item can only as a rare drop from The Maven herself.
• Viridi’s Veil Praetor Crown
• Arn’s Anguish Cloth Belt
• Graven’s Secret Cloth Belt
• Olesya’s Delight Cloth Belt

6. The Maven FAQs

6.1 The Maven’s gameplay progression

The Maven’s progression is not tied to Sirus/Watchstone progression. After your first encounter with the Maven, you can call her to witness map boss kills using her beacon on the map device. Her presence makes the boss more difficult.

From time to time, you will be invited to the Maven’s arena to fight an escalating number of bosses in the arena (3, 4, 5, 6 and 10). The 10 boss fight is repeatable and can be farmed. After the 10 boss fight, you may have the opportunity to fight the Maven herself.

The progression is on a per region basis with each successful fight in the Maven’s arena awarding two passive points which can be allocated to the Atlas Tree for that region.

6.2 The Maven in party play

If you invite the Maven to witness a boss fight and complete that fight with other members of your party, they’ll also be counted as having completed that fight. You can also take on the bosses simultaneously with a party, but the success of that fight is awarded to the instance owner.

6.3 Capture bosses for use in The Maven’s Challenge

When you enter a map, you can click the Maven’s Beacon on the map device to summon her to witness your fight. If you’re successful, this boss will automatically be counted as witnessed. Once The Maven has witnessed enough boss fights in that region, an item will drop that allows you to travel to her arena to fight those bosses again.

6.4 The Maven’s storyline

The Maven’s storyline exists in parallel with the Conqueror’s storyline. Lorewise, the Maven is an Eldritch entity and more of a continuation of the Elder storyline, which is separate from Sirus and the Elderslayers.

6.5 The difficulty within The Maven’s arena fights

The first invitations are quest items to progress through the increasing number of bosses you are fighting in her arena. After you have first completed the 10 boss fight, you have the chance to receive invitation items which can have mods and are craftable, allowing you to scale the difficulty of that fight. You cannot have duplicates of the same boss in the Maven arena, and the bosses are scaled to a fixed monster level based on the number you’re fighting at once.

6.6 Is the Maven blocking natural master missions from spawning?

The answer is no. It appears to just be a streak of bad luck for some players.

The Maven without being hit by Cascade of Pain

Cascade of Pain is a skill in which the boss will shoot 5 white-projectiles consecutively towards player with a Catchphrase: A Cascade of Pain!

The Maven will say “A Cascade of Pain” and then shoot multiple projectiles consistently, this is one of her deadliest moves and you should avoid being hit at all costs by staying further away from the Maven & using mobility skills or flasks to dodge incoming projectiles.

Projectiles deal 3722 to 5583 cold damage.
