The Ancient Crisis Fragment is one of three unique Pinnacle Keys required to unlock the endgame boss fight against the Arbiter of Ash in Path of Exile 2’s Burning Monolith. Alongside the Faded and Weathered Crisis Fragments, it acts as a crucial key to access this pinnacle challenge.

What Does the Ancient Crisis Fragment Unlock?

The Ancient Crisis Fragment, obtained by defeating Count Geonor in the Iron Citadel, is used together with the other two Crisis Fragments on an altar inside the Burning Monolith. This altar serves as a locked door that requires all three fragments to activate. Once all three fragments—Ancient, Faded, and Weathered—are inserted, the door opens, granting access to the Arbiter of Ash encounter, the toughest boss in the game.

The Burning Monolith and Its Role

The Burning Monolith is a special endgame map located near the starting point of your Atlas journey. It represents the ultimate test of skill, build optimization, and preparation. The Arbiter of Ash boss fight inside the Monolith is known for its punishing mechanics, massive health pool, and complex phases, making it a true pinnacle of Path of Exile 2’s endgame content.

How to Obtain the Ancient Crisis Fragment

To acquire the Ancient Crisis Fragment, players must locate and clear the Iron Citadel, one of three rare Citadel map nodes scattered randomly across the Atlas. These Citadels are high-tier, challenging zones that require Tier 15 Waystones to enter. Defeating the Iron Citadel boss, Count Geonor, rewards the Ancient Crisis Fragment. Similar processes apply for the other two fragments in the Copper and Stone Citadels.
