Is the Arbiter still the pinnacle boss in 0.5?

The Arbiter of Ash is still in the game, but it’s no longer the apex. In 0.5 it became a stepping stone to a brand-new pinnacle boss, the Arbiter of Divinity. Here’s how the top of the endgame changed.

01 The Arbiter of Ash got demoted

The Arbiter of Ash is no longer the final pinnacle. It’s still in the game, but it now functions as a gateway: you beat it to unlock the path forward, rather than it being the last fight.

02 The new pinnacle: Arbiter of Divinity

The new endgame pinnacle is the Arbiter of Divinity, found in the Origin Tower via the Origins of Divinity questline, which you only unlock by clearing the Arbiter of Ash first. Defeating it reveals new sections that grant Atlas Passive Points.

It’s part of the bigger 0.5 endgame overhaul: see what changed in the Atlas (300+ nodes, new Atlas Masters).
