Farming Weathered Crisis Fragments in Path of Exile 2 centers on efficient Citadel clearing and maximizing your fragment drops to consistently gain access to the Burning Monolith’s pinnacle fight. This guide breaks down every core step and advanced tip you need to secure more fragments per run, fund your endgame, and progress toward the Arbiter of Ash.

Start by locating Citadels across your Atlas maps; these are special high-tier maps only accessible after progressing to Tier 15 Waystones. Each Citadel contains a major boss—the Stone Citadel is the one awarding Weathered Crisis Fragments upon completion. To unlock a Citadel, defeat its two lieutenants scattered through adjacent nodes, then take on the main Citadel boss encounter. Each successful clear guarantees a Weathered Crisis Fragment and sometimes additional loot, but top players aim to multiply these rewards with optimized farming.

The critical factor in getting more fragments is stacking Waystone Drop Chance through map modifiers and passive tree investment. Each Waystone used to open a Citadel comes with random modifiers—only Suffixes increase your chance of additional fragment drops. To push your odds, use Vaal Orbs on six-mod Waystones with all Suffixes; if successful, these can grant up to 900% Waystone Drop Chance. With 300% or more, two Crisis Fragments often drop; with 750%–900%, three aren’t uncommon, and in exceptional cases, even four can be earned from a single Citadel run. Beware: Suffix-heavy maps can be very challenging, so bolster your build before attempting these runs.

Investing Atlas Passive Points into Waystone Modifier Effect, Waystone Drop Quantity, and the Unstable Energy Keystone will further amplify drop rates. These passive nodes are mainly worth allocating when you are in “Citadel farming mode,” clearing batches of citadels for maximum profit. If you want faster, easier runs, you can scale back your Atlas and focus on single clears or economy mapping.

It’s also important to use Precursor Tablets and modifiers that boost “Increased Quantity of Waystones Found in Your Maps” to multiply your finds. Some players buy six Suffix Waystones directly from the trade market if crafting or corrupting them proves resource-intensive.

When you’ve collected your Weathered, Ancient, and Faded Crisis Fragments from their respective Citadels, head to the Burning Monolith and use all three to challenge the Arbiter of Ash, unlocking exclusive boss loot and endgame rewards.

To sum up, maximize your efficiency by:

Progressing to Tier 15 maps for Citadel access.

Rolling and corrupting Waystones for the highest possible Suffix and Waystone Drop Chance.

Speccing Atlas Passives into all relevant drop and modifier nodes for your farming sessions.

Running fully optimized maps (or tough six Suffix ones if you have the build to handle it) for maximum fragment yield.

Using extra loot strategies like Precursor Tablets and group clearing for even more returns.

Master these strategies to secure a steady stream of Weathered Crisis Fragments, fund your goals in the Atlas endgame, and unlock repeated access to the most coveted boss encounters in Path of Exile 2.
