Uber Atziri is found in the Temple of Atzoatl in Path of Exile 3.30. To reach her, build a Temple containing the Cradle of Creation room. That room sets the Temple to area level 84 and replaces the regular Atziri encounter with Uber Atziri.
The room also makes Temple modifiers more powerful and increases monster difficulty, so prepare for the entire run, including the boss. Mortal Fragments are no longer needed to open the encounter.
How to Reach Uber Atziri
Your goal is to bring Xipocado’s room line to tier 3 while keeping a route open through the Temple.
- Add Incursion to your maps. Use Incursion Threads or run maps affected by an Incursion Shaped Region.
- Find Xipocado’s room line. Check Alva’s Temple layout for a Royal Meeting Room or Hall of Lords.
- Upgrade the room. Before each relevant Incursion, inspect the Architect outcomes and select the one that advances the room toward Cradle of Creation.
- Open Temple connections. Use your Incursions to create a route through the layout, including access to the boss area.
- Complete the Temple. After 12 Temporal Incursions, enter the present-day Temple or save it as a Chronicle of Atzoatl.
Check the completed layout before opening your portals. A Cradle of Creation Temple contains stronger monsters throughout, so review its modifiers and prepare your flasks and equipment before entering.
How to Get Incursions in PoE 3.30
Incursion Threads add Incursion encounters through the Map Device. You can also run maps affected by an Incursion Shaped Region, which provides free Threads to maps in that region.
Completing a Shaped Region objective increases the number of free Threads on the other affected maps. Eater of Worlds Altars can also offer modifiers that make Eldritch monsters or the map boss drop Incursion Threads.
After 12 Temporal Incursions, Alva can open the completed Temple or turn it into a Chronicle for a later run. Keep checking the layout as you progress so you can balance room upgrades with the connections needed to reach them.
How to Build the Cradle of Creation Room
Cradle of Creation is the renamed Throne of Atziri and the tier 3 room associated with Xipocado, Architect to the Queen. The room line is:
| Tier | Room |
|---|---|
| 1 | Royal Meeting Room |
| 2 | Hall of Lords |
| 3 | Cradle of Creation |
When Alva offers an Incursion into the relevant room, inspect the Architect outcomes before entering. Choose the outcome shown as an upgrade if you want to advance the room toward tier 3. The other Architect outcome can change the room’s theme.
Your Incursions also determine the Temple’s connections. Open doors along the route toward the boss area and any reward rooms you plan to visit.
How to Use Royal Visage to Find Xipocado
Royal Visage can drop from Atziri in Temples of level 81 or higher. Use it on a Tier 16 map to make that map’s Temporal Incursions Alluring.
If Xipocado does not already reside in your Temple, he will appear as the non-resident Architect in an Alluring Incursion. Check Alva’s preview and choose the outcome that changes the room to Xipocado’s theme. Once his room line is established, look for opportunities to upgrade it.
Alluring Incursions have tougher monsters and target you with Flameblasts and Storm Calls. Keep moving while clearing the room, and decide which Architect you need before the encounter begins. Royal Visage is a chance drop, so one Atziri kill will not necessarily supply your next map.
Preparing for the Uber Atziri Fight
Atziri’s updated encounter places more emphasis on movement and clearing enemies between split phases. The following mechanics are useful to plan around:
| Mechanic | How to respond |
|---|---|
| Devoted waves | Kill them after each split phase before they reach Atziri and heal her. |
| Mirror clone | Avoid attacking it if your build cannot handle reflected Physical and Elemental damage. |
| Damage reduction after a split | Keep positioning while the temporary reduction fades. |
| Empowered skills | Expect stronger versions of Atziri’s abilities below 66% life. |
| Close-range attacks | Be ready for melee attacks when standing near Atziri. |
Atziri no longer has her former passive 2% Physical and Elemental damage reflection. Her mirror clone still reflects 15%, so identify it before attacking during the split phase. The fight also cannot be paused.
Cradle of Creation Rewards
A Cradle of Creation Temple gives you access to Uber Atziri and changes how several Temple rewards are obtained. Upgraded uniques that previously required Vials can now drop from locations in Temples containing the Cradle.
| Temple source | Reward |
|---|---|
| Atziri in a level 80+ Temple | Chance to drop a Soul Core |
| Atziri in a Cradle of Creation Temple | Chance to drop Soul Core of Intellect, Might or Finesse |
| Atziri in a level 81+ Temple | Chance to drop Royal Visage |
| Specific Glittering Halls chests | Sacrificial Heart, Tempered Flesh, Tempered Mind or Tempered Spirit |
| Museum of Artefacts chests | Chance to drop Soul Catcher |
Rooms that make the Atziri encounter harder also increase her chance to drop Soul Cores. Some tier 3 rooms no longer guarantee their special chest; when that chest appears, it contains the room-specific unique.
Corruption Rooms and Temple Planning
The Altar of Corruption and Lapidary Lens can corrupt an already corrupted equipment item or gem a second time. The item becomes Twice Corrupted and cannot be corrupted again using those devices. The Lapidary Lens can destroy an item, so decide what to bring before opening the Temple.
The Surveyor’s Study, Office of Cartography and Atlas of Worlds also contain devices for corrupting already corrupted maps a second time. Higher-tier rooms provide more uses.
Set aside POE currency for maps, equipment and crafting as you prepare your Temple runs. If you need extra resources, you can also choose a POE currency buy option to help fund the gear and supplies for your build.
