Atlas Progression Bug: No Citadel Maps

Hi,

I think I’ve run into a really frustrating bug with the Atlas/Atlas progression in POE2. When I first entered the Atlas, there was still fog on the map, but I somehow went directly into **The Burning Monolith**. Because of that, the prerequisite quest never triggered properly.

Now my character is already **level 93**, but the entire Atlas still has **no citadel maps unlocked at all**. It feels like I’m completely stuck and can’t progress the Atlas system.

Is there any known fix or workaround, or do I just have to wait for a patch?
Please help to reset this so that I can trigger the prerequisite quest.

Thanks in advance.

New endgame patch coming supposedly this week will come with:
"Citadels have had their spawn rate increased by 66%."

I'm assuming that will not be retroactive, meaning you have to continue exploring the fog to see the new spawn rate apply.

I'm aware there's an upcoming patch that supposedly increases citadel spawn rates by 66%, but that doesn't help my case because the citadel beacons never appear on any of my maps — the mission to find three citadels never triggered. I've cleared more than 300 maps and have been exploring straight north across each map, yet there are still no beacons visible in the fog. Is there any known workaround to reset this so I can trigger the prerequisite quest, or do I just have to wait for the patch? thanks.

Btw — that means my only option now is to buy monolith tickets to fight the Ash Arbiter.
