How to get Crisis Fragments
- Each Crisis Fragment is a reward for defeating the boss of one of the three Citadels found while exploring the Atlas.
- The Faded Crisis Fragment, for example, comes from Jamanra, the Abomination in the final room of the Copper Citadel.
- All three fragments also trade on the market — buying the set is a common shortcut for players who want the pinnacle fight without hunting every Citadel.
How to use Crisis Fragments
- Bring all three fragments — Faded, Weathered and Ancient — to the Burning Monolith; the door only opens with the full set.
- Inside waits the Arbiter of Ash, the pinnacle boss encounter of the core Atlas progression.
