The Faded Crisis Fragment is a key Pinnacle item in Path of Exile 2, obtained by defeating Jamanra, the Abomination, the faction leader boss in the Copper Citadel. This fragment is essential for unlocking the Burning Monolith and accessing the pinnacle boss, the Arbiter of Ash.

Overview of the Jamandla Challenge in Copper Bastion

• Location: The Copper Citadel is a desert-themed Citadel that appears randomly on the Atlas map, typically in desert regions marked by clusters of tents.

• Entry Requirement: Like other Citadels, it requires Tier 15 Waystones to enter, making it an endgame challenge.

• Boss: Jamanra, the Abomination, is the Copper Citadel’s boss. Defeating Jamanra rewards you with the Faded Crisis Fragment.

• Fragment Drops: The boss drops at least one Faded Crisis Fragment, with chances for multiple fragments increasing if your Waystone drop chance is boosted through Atlas passive nodes and modifiers.

How to Prepare for and Complete the Jamandla Challenge

1. Locate the Copper Citadel

• Explore your Atlas thoroughly, focusing on desert regions where the Citadel can spawn.

• Clearing map nodes and towers increases the chance of Citadel appearances.

• Invest in Atlas passive nodes like Waystone Quantity, Waystone Modifier Effect, Constant Crossroads, and Grueling Journey to boost Waystone and fragment drop rates.

2. Defeat the Lieutenants

• Before facing Jamanra, you must clear two lieutenants in adjacent zones within the Citadel. These fights require strong builds and good knowledge of mechanics.

• Prepare for challenging encounters by optimizing your gear, flasks, and skill setups.

3. Fight Jamanra, the Abomination

• Jamanra is a tough boss with complex mechanics involving powerful area attacks and summons.

• Stay mobile, learn attack patterns, and use defensive cooldowns to survive.

• Managing adds and positioning is crucial to avoid overwhelming damage.

4. Claim the Faded Crisis Fragment

• Upon defeating Jamanra, you receive the Faded Crisis Fragment.

• Collect multiple fragments by increasing your Waystone drop chance and farming the Citadel repeatedly.

Using the Faded Crisis Fragment

• Combine the Faded Crisis Fragment with the other two fragments (Weathered and Ancient) to unlock the Burning Monolith and challenge the Arbiter of Ash.

• Alternatively, sell the fragment on the market for high-value currency like Exalted Orbs if you prefer to skip the Arbiter fight.

• The Faded Crisis Fragment is obtained by defeating Jamanra in the Copper Citadel.

• The Copper Citadel is a high-tier, desert-themed endgame area requiring Tier 15 Waystones.

• Preparation involves clearing lieutenants, boosting Waystone drop chance, and mastering Jamanra’s mechanics.

• The fragment is vital for accessing pinnacle endgame content or can be traded for valuable currency.
