Elder spreading with lack of Shaper maps

To level up Zana, complete maps in your Atlas:
Complete 4 maps for level 2.
Complete 10 maps for level 3.
Complete 25 maps for level 4.
Complete 50 maps for level 5.
Complete 80 maps for level 6.
Complete 120 maps for level 7.
This does NOT require you to get the bonus objective for the maps.


This doesn't affect her bonuses offered any more, only what cosmetics she sells.

She unlocks new bonuses in the map device as you complete her storyline.

Thanks! I looked around on that site yesterday, but didn't find that. It's a little hard to navigate - or maybe I just looked at the wrong things.

However, what's listed there doesn't appear to fit with what I'm seeing in-game. I've now unlocked the T13 fragment, presumably what is meant by "level 13". So I should get 7% quantity and have access to Breaches (actually from level 12). I don't have either :-/

Zana is also listed as level 7 (she was when I met her *right* after the acts), but I've not gotten the achievement for it. Something seems to be borked, one way or another.

Does this always work? After my red elder, I did like 15 or so T14-15's. His influence never appeared. The next day after work (and daily reset) I came back and his influence had spawned on white maps...
Well then. Everything just feels utterly pointless now. Took on Pit of the Chimera. I thought the Catarina fight was total idiocy, but that one takes the cake. Holy crap.

I'm done now.

Go on, elitists, bring the "git gud" BS. We all know you want to.
Said it yourself lol Half woke - not bad

If she started at level 7 carried over from past leagues, you should be able to type /recheck_achievements to update your achievements.

Fired up the game to try it out, and it actually worked. Thanks :)

Edit: She wasn't level 8 from previous leagues btw, only had her at level 7, but I guess that was enough.

I do wonder about the missing map device mods though. And wonder if it could be because of a weird bug. Seem to recall that when I were to get a fragment from a Tier 12 map, it was on both a T12 and T13, and the T12 would cut of a whole heap of the Elder area, so I did the T13 instead. Then it still got cut off due to random Shaper spawn so yeah... So I've sort of done two T13 and not a T12. Maybe the game is rather dense about counting up these things..?

For all I know, this means I will never get the extra 1% quantity, nor the Breach mod. If I were to continue playing, that is.

Yeah, pit was a total wtf moment for me the first time I did it (this league!).

What build are you playing? I was arc mines so I had an easier time of it compared to other builds..., but:

Save your movement speed flask for after add phase, and as quickly as you can run through all the clouds until he appears again. I didn't know that was a thing, so I died thinking he had maybe bugged out, go back into arena, immediately die again (I had some bad mods on my first time though).

The majority of his attacks are a frontal cone, so constantly cycle behind him if you are melee (or melee range abilities). The exception is his big red circle aoe thing, immediately get out when you see that, it's a 360* attack.

If you are ranged, for his attacks, you can basically keep distance, attack once (he dashes to you), move, attack once, move, repeat, you shouldn't get hit too much if you are moving out of the cone.

I can't give much advice for adds as melee, unfortunately. For ranged, pick southern corner (by where chimera is perched up top), and just attack as they funnel towards you, I think the mini add boss spawns on third wave. For goat and snake you can just move in a circular pattern and most hits will miss you, for the doggy you just gotta kite some.

Both my Pit map drops were Rare Unidentified, and I tried one of those, so can't be 100% sure about the mods. The idea was to get it completed first, without the risk of corrupting it. Cleary a total cock-up, heh. I took down his probably first phase okay, and some adds. Then he started zoom-zooming about the place, totally invisible apart from a red line pretty darn often. That shit killed me time and again. 1-2 seconds after getting back into the arena.. DEAD.

Well, on my last life he must have got to the next phase again, but maybe he got back into the near-invisible assassin mode again pretty quickly. Suddenly I was dead again, and more than a little peeved off about the super-unfair fight. I hate crap like that. It's why I can't stand Catarina too. Total BS fight.

I've not really played since. Did a few dailies since they appeared in low-tier maps, but think I'm done with this league now. Just no incentive to keep playing.

I'm using the lvl 94 Winter Orb btw, if you happen to check out my characters. Almost totally self-found (only bought the boots, because I was going into the uber lab and wanted a decent set for an enchant). I'm clearing just about everything else without a hic-up, including the mobs in T16 Pit of the Chimera before the actual boss. Stuff just freezes and explodes everywhere.

I'm sure lots of gear could be upgraded if I were to trade (though the wand is pretty darn good tbh), but the build and gear has worked fine so far, for the most part. But I think those idiotic fights drained the last remains of interest out of me.

I'm not a fan of pure grinding, and that's all that is left now.
-Grind to get the last maps
-Grind to get to the Shaper fight (would be a first for me), on white maps to stand a chance against Pit of Cheese and friends
-Grind to get lower in the mines (double grind really)
-Grind syndicates in e.g. Blood Aqueduct to get a few more challenges and more mods unveiled
-Grind to get the last fragment for Uber Atziri
-Probably more grinding for any other goal, like red or uber elder
