The Elder is one of the bosses of the Atlas end game system. It is also known as Red Elder to distinguish with the Uber Elder fight or the depreciated “Yellow Elder” (The Elder fight that replaced a Yellow Map boss fight). It is considered to be the easiest of the major Atlas bosses, having relatively simple mechanics and having less life relative to other endgame bosses such as The Shaper, Sirus, or The Maven.
Defeating the Elder is guaranteed to drop a map fragment required for the Uber Elder encounter, either Fragment of Terror or Fragment of Emptiness. The other 2 fragments are dropped by The Shaper.
Entry
Players must use the following fragments in their map device to fight The Elder. These fragments drop from the Elder Guardians, or rarely from Fragment rewards, and they can also be traded amongst players.
Fragment of Purification
Fragment of Constriction
Fragment of Enslavement
Fragment of Eradication
The arena is called Absence of Value and Meaning.
