You can unlock the quest The Pinnacle of Flame by locating the Burning Monolith. Initially, it won’t appear on your Atlas, but you can reveal more of the map by clearing towers. Continue clearing towers until the Burning Monolith becomes visible.

After unlocking the quest, open the Atlas and look for the Burning Monolith.
Once found, enter the Burning Monolith and continue forward until you reach a locked door. Approaching it will unlock three new quests—Ezomyte Infiltration, Faridun Foray, and Vaal Incursion.
Next, look for the three citadels—Iron Citadel, Copper Citadel, and Stone Citadel—to find the three Crisis Fragments. These fragments are the keys to the locked door in the Burning Monolith.
In each citadel is a faction that holds one Crisis Fragment. Within each citadel, you'll face an Uber Act Boss and their two lieutenants. Defeat them to claim the Crisis Fragment they hold.
Keep in mind that if you fail to defeat any of these enemies, they will relocate to another area, and you’ll need to track them down again.
Once you have all three Crisis Fragments, return to the Burning Monolith and insert the Crisis Fragments to the locked door to open it. Doing so will lead you to an arena.
| Citadels | Beam Colors |
|---|---|
| Iron Citadel |  Blue Beam |
| Copper Citadel |  Orange Beam |
| Stone Citadel |  Red Beam |
To find the Citadels needed to get the Crisis Fragments, look for beams of light scattered across your Atlas map. Each beam has a corresponding color associated to the type of citadel it is.

Thanks for absolutely nothing. Obviously people ask where are locations like the stone citadel on the map, but all this "guide" does is make a simple quest text longer and help not in the slightest.

um this helped by giving the names of the pieces which you need to have to unlock and they show a picture of the flame above the citadel describing what to look for so you can route a path to it to acquire, I'm sure they could get new players to take a pic of their locations but seeing how its different for every player they cant possibly tell you where they are located.
