The Magus Circle Planets Guide: Elysia, Yomori, Yawm and the Gates of Suqar

How Planets Work in a Run

Every run of The Magus Circle takes place on a planet map, selected before you drop in. The getting started guide covers the run loop itself — arrive, fight the Tide’s horde, face the colossal boss, then draw the extraction sigil to bank your materials (the Leviathan guide covers that exit sequence). The map select screen also records your boss encounters per planet, a tracker the 1.1.2 patch explicitly fixed (“boss encounters recorded properly in map select”).

What the official patch notes have done since launch is name the map — sometimes as the subject of a rework, sometimes through a single boss-fix line. This page collects every confirmed planet and named encounter, with the note evidence attached.

Elysia

Elysia is the best-documented planet, and the patch notes treat it that way twice:

• 1.0.5 “completely reworked” Elysia’s map generation — the notes describe the result as less cramped, with the final glyph guaranteed reachable. Before that fix, extraction glyphs could spawn in cruel spots.
• 1.1.1 addresses the planet’s boss directly: “Phase 1 of Elysia boss will no longer run off forever.” The phrasing confirms Elysia’s boss is a multi-phase fight, and that its first phase had a habit of disengaging mid-encounter.

The Elysia guide collects the planet’s full record — the map rework, glyph reachability and every boss fix — in one place.

Yomori

Yomori’s patch trail is about loot and rules:

• 1.0.5: randomized loot spawns under gazebos — Yomori has gazebo structures worth checking on every pass.
• 1.1.1: “Fixed walking on water in Yomori,” which tells you the map has water crossing at least one traversal route.
• 1.1.0: a fix for a “mismatch between Yomori and Corrupted Yomori boss ingredients” — the corrupted variant exists and tracks its own ingredient pool.

The Yomori guide walks the map’s signature oddities: gazebo loot, its own Leviathan and the Corrupted Yomori.

Yawm

Yawm enters the patch notes in 1.1.2, and both entries are about its boss: the boss no longer disappears if you teleport, and no longer damages the player at unexpected times. The fixes are boss-behavior corrections rather than map reworks — useful confirmation that Yawm hosts its own colossal encounter, with details still being captured in-game.

The Gates of Suqar and the Prismatic Spire

The 1.0.5 notes name two encounters on the map: the Gates of Suqar and the Prismatic Spire, which “used to last forever” before that patch reined them in. The phrasing suggests timed hold-or-survive objectives rather than traditional health-bar bosses; their exact structure is on the capture list alongside the planet fights. See the boss roster for how they sit alongside the Leviathan.
