Mechanics[]

 Atlas passive skill tree that enhances drops from ,  and from their respective guardians.

The Uncharted Realms Atlas passive skill tree that enhances drops from The Shaper, The Elder and from their respective guardians.

Occasionally, a Shaper-influenced Tier 16 map can drop, which has one of the four Shaper Guardian specific map bases. The map can be sold by Zana or offered in-map as part of her Atlas Mission. Player can use an Lua error: Error: invalid field alias "items._pageName"; aliases cannot contain dots or quotes.. to reroll the map between the 4 Shaper Guardians Maps. However, player cannot roll other T16 Map into Shaper Guardians Maps, or vice versa.

Lore[]

They are the main antagonists of Atlas of Worlds storyline, they are the guardians of the Void, which all 4 are needed to defeat to fight Shaper.[1]

In War for the Atlas storyline, their maps would be occupied by Elder Guardians instead if the players beat all four Guardians of the Void and spread Elder influence to their maps.

Since Conquerors of the Atlas expansion, they do not appear in the epilogue questline nor on the Atlas, and they are thus assumed to be defeated and slain like The Elder. They are still accessible from Zana and from the Map Device.

In Echoes of the Atlas expansion, the Guardians of the Void are somehow back to the lore as bosses in the Uncharted Realms. They can be duplicated by the Maven and fight them all at once in Lua error: Error: invalid field alias "items._pageName"; aliases cannot contain dots or quotes...
