PoE Uber Atziri is now fought inside the Temple of Atzoatl in PoE 3.30, provided you build a Temple with the Cradle of Creation room. Regular Atziri also moves there, taking over the boss encounter from the Vaal Omnitect. You no longer use the old fragment sets to open either fight.
The move also changes how you find Uber Atziri, what certain Temple rooms do and where to obtain the new Royal Visage currency. There’s a lot more to the Incursion overhaul than swapping one boss model for another, so it’s worth checking your old Temple farming routine before Covens of Umbra launches.
Where to find PoE Uber Atziri in 3.30
Atziri becomes the boss of the Temple of Atzoatl, replacing the Vaal Omnitect in update 3.30. The Temple of Atzoatl is the end destination of the Incursion mechanic associated with Alva, so that’s the system to follow when you want to fight her. You are no longer looking for the old Apex of Sacrifice boss entrance.
To begin, work through Incursion encounters and plan the rooms in your Temple as usual, then enter the completed Temple when it’s available. The important new detail is which version of Atziri you’ll face: a normal Temple does not have the same boss and area level as one containing the special Cradle of Creation room.
The Vaal Omnitect is gone, but PoE Uber Atziri is not automatic. You need the Cradle of Creation room for the stronger version of the fight.
How to unlock PoE Uber Atziri in the Temple of Atzoatl
To fight PoE Uber Atziri, your Temple must contain the Cradle of Creation room. This is the renamed version of the old Throne of Atziri room. When that room is present, the Temple becomes area level 84 and contains PoE Uber Atziri instead of the standard boss.
The Cradle of Creation also increases the impact of Temple modifiers and makes monsters across the Temple more difficult and rewarding. This is not simply a harder final arena. Expect the journey through the Temple itself to demand more from your build.
For a first attempt, learn the normal Atziri encounter before building toward a Cradle of Creation Temple. If you’re already comfortable with Incursion, focus on securing that particular room while planning the layout. For PoE Uber Atziri, the key room to work toward is the Cradle of Creation.
What happened to Sacrifice and Mortal Fragments?
The Temple of Atzoatl replaces the previous Atziri boss access routes: Sacrifice and Mortal Fragments no longer open the old boss areas. Existing Mortal Fragments convert into Royal Visages when you log in following the update. Existing Sacrifice Fragments remain in your inventory but no longer do anything.
The Alluring Abyss is also removed from the Atlas. If you used to collect a complete fragment set to open an Atziri area, that advice is outdated for 3.30. The Incursion Temple is now the place to go for both the normal and Uber encounters.
This matters if you’re returning to Standard with stash tabs full of the old fragments. Those items do not represent the same boss access they used to provide, and the new currency has a very different purpose.
How to get Royal Visage from the Temple of Atzoatl
The new Royal Visage item can drop from Atziri in a Temple of Atzoatl of area level 81 or higher. It is a chance-based drop, not something guaranteed from every kill.
Use a Royal Visage on a Tier 16 Map to add an enchantment that makes its Temporal Incursions Alluring. Those Incursions have increased difficulty and rewards, while Flameblasts and Storm Calls target players inside them. Xipocado, Architect to the Queen, is also involved under the special architect rules.
Royal Visages therefore feed back into the revised Incursion system. Their purpose isn’t to open the old Alluring Abyss or act as a direct PoE Uber Atziri ticket. If you’ve read an old fragment farming guide, make sure you’re not confusing that former use with the new Map enchantment.
How the Uber Atziri fight has changed
Normal and PoE Uber Atziri have updated mechanics. The patch notes say the fight can no longer be paused, and Atziri now gains empowered abilities below 66% life. She can use melee attacks against nearby players, while spear throws have been adjusted.
After each split phase, waves of Atziri’s Devoted move toward her. If they reach her, they explode and heal her, so letting them through can undo your progress. The fight also no longer has the old immunity phases where Devoted simply walked in during a pause in combat.
Damage reflection changes too. Atziri no longer passively reflects 2% of incoming physical and elemental damage, while her mirror clone reflects 15% rather than the previous 100%. That is still a reason to pay attention to which clone you’re hitting. Do not treat the lower reflected percentage as permission to ignore the mechanic completely.
Temple rewards and Royal Visage drops
Atziri has a chance to drop a Soul Core in Temples of area level 80 or above. Temples containing a Cradle of Creation can give her access to the Soul Core of Intellect, Soul Core of Might and Soul Core of Finesse, and certain Temple modifiers increase Soul Core drop chances.
Several old Vials no longer drop. Unique items that previously needed those Vials instead come from different sources within Temples containing the Cradle of Creation. They should not be described as normal Atziri drops without checking the specific item source.
The Temple of Atzoatl now offers several reasons to revisit Incursion, but its special drops still depend on area level and chance. The practical plan is to build a Temple that matches your target reward, recognise when you’ve created a Cradle of Creation and go into the boss fight prepared for the updated mechanics.
