3-The Atlas of Worlds is Path of Exile's end-game map system. The Atlas is a series of linked maps that players can progress through after completing a quest for Commander Kirac. It is explored and discovered by running maps within the Map Device at the Karui Shores, a player's hideout, or a guild hideout.

5-The Atlas of Worlds is a visualisation of the dream worlds that are opened by activating maps, indicating how these worlds are linked. The Atlas is comprised of 115 different maps connected to each other by paths.
5+* Tears into different realities within the Atlas have begun to appear. The Originator of these realities has entangled themselves within the very fabric of the Atlas, and they're now trapped! Track down the source of the tears and uncover the secrets within.
6+* You will meet Eagon, a man of mysterious heritage trying to discover his origins. In his quest, Eagon has been investigating these distortions of reality, occasionally catching glimpses of a young girl through the rifts — Zana.

7-## Overview
8+## Memory Threads

9-To "run" a map, the player must normally place a consumable map item in the Map Device. This creates a new instance of that map. The map will contain monsters and treasures and one or more unique bosses. To successfully complete the map, the character(s) must defeat all of the unique bosses on that map.
10+In the Atlas you will encounter Threads of Consciousness, a strange thread-like substance that appears near the tears. By using a powerful gauntlet of his own making, Eagon is able to create a link to these memory threads and open portals to them. Working with Eagon, you must step through and find Zana, or whatever remains of her.

11-Maps are divided into four tiers:
12+Memory Thread is 4 to 8 Maps.
1213
13-* Maps with tiers 1 through 5, which are marked "White"
14-* Maps with tiers 6 through 10, which are marked "Yellow"
15-* Maps with tiers 11 through 16, which are marked "Red"
16-* Maps with tier 17, a special map tier
14+## Memory Petals
1715
18-At first, your access to the maps of the Atlas is very limited. When map items begin dropping in Act 8, they will only be for the four starting maps at the very bottom of the Atlas, the "tier 1" maps. All the other maps on the Atlas with "tier 2" or higher start out locked.
16+The areas you are asked to investigate are not your typical Maps, they’re influenced by the Memories of Zana herself and have manifested dangerous threats. Influenced monsters are imbued with Memory Petals, defeat them and absorb their power to unleash it for yourself as a special ability during combat.
1917
20-To unlock a map, the player must successfully complete that map at least once by beating the unique boss, either in a specific boss arena or roaming the map, depending on the map. Atlas progress is shared by all of a player's characters in a league. Once a map is unlocked, they can start dropping as loot.
18+ * Memory of Disbelief: Consumes Petals to cause affected nearby monsters to not be able to drop items that can have rarity. The number of Petals consumed is proportinal to the Power of affected monsters. (Cost 30 Petals)
19+ * Memory of Panic: make all affected monsters revive immediately after death, which means you can get twice as much experience and drops from them!
20+ * Memory of Impatience: cause all surrounding enemies to give you their Souls temporarily increasing your power.
2121
22-In addition, there is an Atlas passive skill tree with perks that affect drops and improve various League mechanics features, for example Master missions and other Extra Content such as Breach and Harbinger. Atlas passive skill points can be earned by completing a maps' bonus completion condition and Maven's invitations.
22+You can first use Memory of Impatience to become way more powerful, then use Memory of Panic to prepare them to revive when they are slain, then use Memory of Disbelief to cause them to drop better, more valuable items. Finally, obliterate them all, the memory of panic will kick in, causing them to revive, and then wipe them out again allowing you to get all the experience and enhanced drops twice.

24-The Atlas has many end-game bosses that players can fight, such as The Searing Exarch, The Eater of Worlds and The Maven which requires completion of the Maven's challenges in The Maven's Crucible. Other bosses like Uber Elder and Sirus, Awakener of Worlds can be fought repeatedly by using a special set of 4 map fragments in the Map Device.

26-## Atlas Completion Bonus
27-You gain completion bonus for each map in the Atlas map completed for the first time under certain conditions:
26+## Pinnacle bosses
2827
29-* For a white map (a map with tier 1 through 5), you must complete a map with magic rarity.
30-* For a yellow map (a map with tier 6 through 10), you must complete a map with rare rarity.
31-* For a red map (a map with tier 11 through 16), you must complete a map with rare rarity and have the corrupted modifier.
28+The final Map in each Thread is a true challenge, affected by all of the previous modifiers selected at each Altar, and guarded by a powerful boss. Each of these bosses are familiar, but dreamlike, drawn from Zana's memories and warped by the Atlas into something very different, and terrifying. Defeat these warped memory bosses, and dive deeper into the memory rifts to encounter the most significant of Zana's memories, manifested into three new Pinnacle bosses.
3229
33-Each bonus completions grants an Atlas passive skill point.
30+* [[Echo of Reverence]]: [[Incarnation of Dread]]
31+* [[Echo of Loneliness]]: [[Incarnation of Fear]]
32+* [[Echo of Trauma]]: [[Incarnation of Neglect]]
3433
35-## Voidstones
36-The Eater of Worlds, The Searing Exarch, The Maven, and Uber Elder each drop a Voidstone when first defeated. Each Voidstone slotted into the Atlas increases the map base's tier by 4, to a maximum of tier 16, grants a +15% chance for dropped maps to be one tier higher (up to tier 16), and 0.4% chance per slotted Voidstone to convert a tier 16 map drop into a tier 17 map.
