POE2 0.5 Atlas Endgame Guide Cover

Complete Atlas guide from first white map to Aldur kill. Covers 6-stage Atlas passive recommendations, map sustain strategies, Watchstone acquisition path, Runes of Aldur branch breakdown, and endgame boss unlock conditions.

Stage 1: Map Foundation (0-20 points)

Prioritize +25% map drop rate and +15% rarity nodes for stable map pool. First 20 points all into map foundation — don't rush Watchstones.

Stage 2: Watchstone Unlock (20-50 points)

Outer → Mid → Inner order. Each Watchstone gives +1 map tier and exclusive points. Recommended order: Fire → Cold → Lightning → Chaos.

Stage 3: Rune Branch (50-80 points)

Unlock Runes of Aldur branch. Key nodes: Rune Resonance (+30% resonance effect), Verissium Sentry (+50% sentry damage), Rune Harvest (+25% fragment drops).
