The price of PoE Cosmic Fragment is about 11 Chaos Orb.

Item Description

  • The Shaper’s Realm: Level 85
  • Lore: “A single act of love and defiance may cascade destruction across the cosmos.”
  • Usage: Use five Cosmic Fragments in a personal Map Device to open portals to The Shaper’s Realm. This item can only be used once.

Mechanics

When five Cosmic Fragments are placed into a Map Device, they open portals to the Uber Shaper encounter. This is a significantly harder version of the standard Shaper fight, designed to push even the most prepared players to their limits.

Key Changes in the Uber Shaper Encounter:

  1. Area Mod: Monsters take 70% less damage, drastically extending the duration of the fight.
  2. Shadow Clones: Throughout the fight, the Shaper will summon two shadow clones. These clones can use a variety of the Shaper’s abilities, including his devastating balls, melee, and beam skills, making the fight more chaotic and difficult to manage.
  3. Persistent Volatile Anomalies: Volatile Anomalies and the Vortexes they leave upon detonation are not cleared between phases, creating lasting threats in the arena that can severely limit your movement options.
  4. Enhanced Ball Projectiles: The Shaper’s ball projectile spell now fires two additional projectiles to the side, increasing the area you need to avoid. Additionally, these projectiles penetrate 40% of your Cold Resistance, making them even deadlier.
  5. Faster, Stronger Slam Attack: The Shaper’s slam attack is now faster, covers a larger area, deals more damage, and cannot be blocked. This makes it critical to avoid getting caught by this ability.
  6. Altered Bullet Hell: Zana will not shield you during the Shaper’s Bullet Hell attack, adding another layer of difficulty. However, the Shaper fires fewer projectiles per attack, though these also penetrate 40% of your Cold Resistance.

Item Acquisition

Cosmic Fragments can be obtained from specific sources:

  • Drop Locations: This fragment has a chance to drop from Tier 17 map bosses, with a higher likelihood of dropping from the bosses of Fortress Map and Citadel Map.

Cosmic Fragments can also be acquired from specific monsters in Nightmare variants of boss encounters, such as:

  • Nightmare of Catarina
  • Nightmare of Lycia
  • Nightmare of the Depraved Trinity
  • Nightmare of the Unbreakable
  • Nightmare of Uhtred

Uber Shaper Rewards

Defeating the Uber Shaper not only grants bragging rights but also the chance to obtain highly sought-after items, including the Sublime Vision, a unique item with powerful modifiers that can significantly enhance specific builds.

The Uber Shaper encounter is one of the pinnacle challenges in Path of Exile, requiring precise gameplay, in-depth knowledge of the Shaper’s mechanics, and a well-optimized build. Successfully conquering this fight is a testament to a player’s skill and preparation.
