We're teaming up with community streamer Zizaran once again to host the Echoes of the Atlas Boss Kill Event, where Path of Exile players can compete to kill our newest endgame boss, The Maven, while playing in Ritual HC SSF mode. Zizaran has arranged $40,000 for the event's prize pool. On top of cash prizes for players, there are also microtransaction prizes provided by us.

How to Participate

This event runs for the first month of the Ritual league, starting on January 15 (PST). Only characters playing in the Ritual HC SSF League will be counted for the cash prize.

We are creating two custom ladders (order and number of kills of The Maven) and will link them from this post once the Ritual expansion is deployed and the ladders are available.

The cash prize pool will be distributed by Zizaran as follows:

• 1st Place: $10,000
• 2nd Place: $5,000

25 players will win their choice of one of the following bundles:

Additional Rules

• Players who migrate from a private league to Ritual HC SSF during the event are ineligible for prizes.
• Placings and prize eligibility are entirely at the discretion of Grinding Gear Games.
• The winners of cash prizes must be able to receive a PayPal payment from Zizaran in order to be eligible to receive it.
• While the event being SSF reduces a lot of scope for outside help, any form of account sharing (or other breaches of the Terms of Use) will disqualify a player from receiving prizes.
• Grinding Gear Games Employees are not eligible for prizes.
• Players who have played on the Alpha realm since January 7, 2021 (when the expansion was first deployed) are not eligible for prizes.
• Only valid Maven kills in the Ritual HC SSF league are eligible for prizes. Dying or migrating your character out of the league doesn't remove prize eligibility as long as the kill occurred while in the league.

Big thanks to Zizaran, Viyro and their sponsors for putting on this event!
