Farming Ancient Crisis Fragments in Path of Exile 2 is a crucial step for accessing the Burning Monolith and facing the Arbiter of Ash, the game’s pinnacle boss. These fragments drop from bosses residing in Citadels scattered throughout the Atlas, with the Ancient Crisis Fragment specifically dropped by the boss in the Iron Citadel.
Citadels are challenging endgame instances that require Tier 15 Waystones for entry. They spawn randomly in certain Atlas zones, mostly around corrupted map nodes and on the periphery of the Atlas. Efficient farming involves unlocking Lost Precursor Towers, which reveal unexplored sections of the Atlas and increase your chances of locating these Citadels.
One of the essential mechanics influencing fragment drop rates is the Waystone Drop Chance modifier. This stat significantly impacts how many Crisis Fragments you receive per boss kill. Increasing Waystone Drop Chance through crafting and skilled allocation of Atlas passive points can raise your fragment drops from one to multiple per kill. For example, at around 300-400% increased Waystone Drop Chance, players commonly receive two Ancient Crisis Fragments from a single Citadel boss. Pushing this stat higher—between 750% and 900%—can yield three fragments, and at very high levels, players have reported occasionally receiving four.
To boost Waystone Drop Chance, players can craft their Waystones with suffix mods, ideally corrupted to have six suffixes since only suffixes increase drop chance. Using unstable energy nodes on the Atlas passive tree further enhances this effect. However, increased suffixes often add difficulty-improving modifiers, so a balance between risk and reward must be managed for efficient farming.
The Ancient Crisis Fragment drop itself is guaranteed upon defeating the Iron Citadel boss, but the quantity can vary widely based on your Waystone Drop Chance modifiers. Additionally, clearing the Citadel quickly and efficiently is important as these zones are tough and filled with empowered enemies.
The best strategy to farm Ancient Crisis Fragments involves:
Actively searching for Iron Citadels on your Atlas with the help of Lost Precursor Towers.
Increasing your Waystone Drop Chance through crafting corrupted Waystones with multiple suffixes and investing in Atlas passive tree nodes.
Managing the balance between map difficulty and survivability to reliably defeat Citadel bosses.
Understanding breakpoints for Waystone Drop Chance to maximize fragment yields per run.
Mastering these elements allows for a steady and efficient accumulation of Ancient Crisis Fragments, making the path to unlocking the Burning Monolith smoother and more accessible for dedicated Path of Exile 2 players.
