Did the Atlas change in 0.5?
Yes, a big one. 0.5 substantially reworked the Atlas: a much larger passive tree, three new Atlas Masters, and a new pinnacle boss. If you’re back after a break, your endgame map strategy changed.
01 The Atlas passive tree rework
The tree is substantially expanded: 300+ nodes, and every node is eventually allocatable. New multiple-choice nodes let you customize a farming strategy without constant respeccing, and there’s a new Atlas search bar with live map highlighting.
02 Three new Atlas Masters
Ascendancy-style: 3 Masters, each with 12 nodes (4 active at once). Only one Master is active per map, freely swappable.
03 A new pinnacle boss
A new pinnacle boss replaces the Arbiter (referenced as the Arbiter of Divinity in some sources). Defeating it reveals new sections that grant Atlas Passive Points.
