Path Of Exile 2 Act 3 Bosses: How Difficult Are They? - Top 6

Posted: Jan 21, 2025

Source: IGGM

It’s been over a month since POE 2’s early access launch, so where have you been in the game? If you’re diligent enough, you should have made it to the final act of the early access-Act 3, where you’ll find that the bosses in Act 3 are very difficult.

While some of these bosses are optional and fighting them isn’t necessary to play the game, killing them can bring you generous POE 2 Currency as a reward and help you enter Path of Exile 2 endgame more smoothly. So which Act 3 bosses are more worthy of your challenge? We’ve listed the top 6 for you based on difficulty. Path Of Exile 2 Act 3 Bosses: How Difficult Are They? - Top 6

1. Doryani, Royal Thaumaturge

As the final boss of Act 3, Doryani is also the gatekeeper to Cruel difficulty and the endgame Atlas, so he’s undoubtedly top 1, but this also means it’s going to be difficult if you want to win this battle. To do this, you need to pay attention and learn how to avoid all types of elemental and physical damage from this boss, otherwise even if you have the strongest builds, you are not safe.

One thing you need to pay attention to is that the laser barrage will be fired from the back of the construct carrying Doryani, and the damage it causes is fatal. So when you find it rising and lighting up, remember to move to the other side of the boss immediately, and keep close to the boss while moving in a circle to avoid being hit when the boss rotates.

It is also important to learn how to avoid the AOE slam from the boss. When you find that Doryani disintegrates and floats into the air, you need to run to the edge of the AOE outline when it stops to avoid his attack.

2. Viper Napuatzi

This is one of the mandatory bosses in the third act. You must defeat her to complete this act. Since she will summon helpers, when facing her, you need to avoid not only her melee poison attacks and elemental AOE attacks but also the poison spears of the soldiers who are constantly approaching around.

Although learning to avoid most damage is the only way to defeat Viper Napuatzi, you will also get a lot of help if you trade with other players through POE 2 Chaos Orbs to get the poison immunity amulet. In addition, the scene of the battle with Viper Napuatzi is very epic and will definitely leave a deep impression on you.

3. Mektul, The Forgemaster

Mektul is the last optional boss in the third act of POE 2. Compared with the two high-difficulty bosses in the top 2, the biggest feature of the battle with Mektul is the time limit. Specifically, he will release a wave of molten metal at the beginning of the battle to trap you, and you must not only avoid this deadly fire and physical attack, but also cause enough damage to the boss within a limited time to win.

4. Bahlak, The Skyseer

In fact, this boss is one of the three bosses you will encounter after entering the first Trial of Chaos. It mainly causes damage to you by causing high physical damage and lightning damage, and summoning tornadoes and wind bombs.

In this fight you need to focus on the boss’s two main attacks, both of which are marked by the boss flying into the air: if it flies vertically upwards, it means the boss will dive bomb, and you need to keep moving and dodge the subsequent physical attacks after the boss disappears into the air; if the boss flies forward and flips, it means it will attack you with a gust of wind bombs and claws, then you can hide behind the boss.

5. Chetza, The Feathered Plague

Chetza is another boss you will encounter in Trial of Chaos. It is a monster that looks like a crow. If you are hit by its attacks, you will not only suffer high physical damage and bleeding damage, but you may also be disabled, causing your movement speed to drop significantly.

Without a doubt, the slowed movement speed is the most annoying damage effect of Chetza, because it makes you more vulnerable to multiple hits from the boss, so it is recommended that you exchange some amulets with high movement speed and bleeding immunity from other players by Chaos Orbs in advance. Although this fight may be difficult, it is worth it because you will gain some Ascendancy skill points later.

6. Uxmal, The Beastlord

This boss is the last of the three bosses in Trial of Chaos. As an optional challenge, it is also the way to gain your second set of Ascendancy passive skill points. By now, I believe you should have noticed the importance of Trial of Chaos and how difficult it is.

In terms of appearance and attack methods, Uxmal is very similar to Xyclucian, another boss in Act 3. They both attack you through all elements, poisons and physical damage, but the special arena setting will make Uxmal more difficult.

First of all, Uxmal will fly into the air regularly, interrupting the attack path you may have planned, forcing you to reposition. In addition, it can also spread extremely destructive ground effects based on the narrow paths and connecting stairs of the arena, making it difficult for you to navigate the arena. However, if you can overcome these challenges, you may obtain some corrupted Vaal loot after winning the battle, as well as the second set of Ascendancy skill points.

Although we have provided some guides for dealing with these tough bosses, you may still encounter obstacles, so in order to complete Path of Exile 2 Act 3 more smoothly, you must also regularly upgrade your gear. At this time, you may be in urgent need of more orbs, and the fourth 2025 POE 2 giveaway on IGGM Discord should help you!

We will select 20 lucky players through this giveaway soon to share 5000 Chaos Orb, 2000 Orb of Chance and 200 Divine Orb. Just leave “IGGM Icon” in the corresponding channel to participate! Hurry up and act!

Path Of Exile 2 (6 Monk Builds Skill Gems): How Do They Work In Battle?

There are currently six classes available in POE 2, some suitable for melee and some for ranged. Among all melee classes, Monk has won the favor of many melee players with its powerful CC and amazingly high DPS, and it is completely worth choosing it as a melee enthusiast.

Of course, after choosing Monk as your class, you also need to build and use some good builds around Monk to make it work in battle, and the creation of builds is inseparable from the selection and matching of skills or skill gems. Therefore, we will introduce you to 6 skill gems suitable which can form good Monk builds.

1. Falling Thunder

Although the actual use of this skill is a bit complicated, the effect it brings is also very impressive. When you use it in the early stage of the battle, you can output basic damage by jumping up and slamming the long stick in a very small range, but if you gradually accumulate enough energy to charge, this slam will further generate a lightning shock wave that can spread far, thereby expanding the damage value.

So in the early stages, it is recommended that you use Killing Palm to obtain energy charges from low-health enemies, and then make appropriate investments through continuous energy charges, so that Falling Thunder can help you clear large groups of enemies with one easy move and obtain more POE 2 Currency from enemies at one time.

2. Storm Wave

Although Monk is a melee class, it is sometimes necessary to equip some ranged skills in builds. The current ranged skill gems available for Monk in POE 2 are Storm Wave and Glacial Cascade.

Among them, Glacial Cascade is suitable for hitting single targets, while Storm Wave can help you better control the crowd in battle with the help of auxiliary gems such as Upheavel.

3. Flicker Strike

When Flicker Strike allows you to flash from one target to another at an amazing speed and deal amazing damage to them, you will know how cool this skill is, and Flicker Strike can even clear large groups of enemies with just one activation.

However, it should be noted that Flicker Strike also requires a lot of energy to use, and the more the better. Fortunately, you can continue to gain energy by combining Flicker Strike with various other different skills. For example, combining it with Momentum will allow you to do more damage the further you move while the skill is active, and combining it with Perpetual Charge will give the skill a certain chance to retain its energy after activation.

4. Hand Of Chayula

Of all Monk skills, Hand of Chayula can be said to be indispensable to help you get through the endgame stage smoothly, because it can easily defeat most ultimate bosses. Of course, this does not mean that other Monk skills are useless against powerful bosses, but that Hand of Chayula can make your boss’ battles easier.

After casting this skill, you can insert curse skills and marks on a single target, causing him to be affected by multiple debuffs at once, and you can weaken a single target with a single move. If you are an Ice Strike Monk, Hypothermia, Freezing Mark, and Enfeeble among these debuffs will be very useful.

5. Tempest Flurry

Skill gems in Path of Exile 2 actually come in different tiers, and once you start getting level 5 Monk skill gems, you’ll notice that your combat experience will be greatly improved, as level 5 skill gems include the best Monk DPS skill gems, Tempest Flurry.

Also Read: What Changes Does Path Of Exile 2 Patch 0.1.1 Bring? - Monster Balance, Item Buffs And More

This skill replaces the basic Monk staff attack, increasing your attack speed by infusing lightning into your staff while causing shock to enemies, which is actually a more effective form of DPS attack. In addition, if you have enough POE 2 Exalted Orbs, you can consume it to make your staff itself more powerful, or let auxiliary gems such as Martial Tempo and Primal Armament work with Tempest Flurry to improve combat efficiency.

6. Ice Strike

Like Tempest Flurry, this is also a level 5 skill gem, and based on its actual combat performance, the vast majority of POE 2 players think it is the better choice. Although Ice Strike takes effect a bit slower than Tempest Flurry, it deals with more powerful frost damage and freezes enemies for a few seconds, during which they cannot move or attack you, allowing you to take them out in one fell swoop.

In addition, Ice Strike is an essential part of Double Herald Build, one of the most powerful Monk builds. With this build, you can quickly clear groups of enemies in seconds by combining Ice and Thunder with Ice Strike.

In addition to the above information related to the specific game content of Path of Exile 2, we recommend that you pay attention to and participate in POE 2 Currency giveaway event in IGGM Discord! You will share many different types of orbs with other players, helping you trade with others more smoothly in the game or making your gear more powerful! Don’t miss this opportunity!
Path Of Exile 2 Mysterious Shade Quest Guide: How To Complete This Quest Fast?

Mysterious Shade is the third quest we have to do in Path of Exile 2 Act 1. This interesting quest takes you to a graveyard to collect some keys. In this guide, we will cover how to collect two keys and defeat three separate bosses with similar mechanics to complete this quest. If you are still stuck on this quest, then don’t miss this guide!

How To Start?

First, let’s see where to start this quest. You can get this quest after completing Secrets in the Dark quest or discovering Grim Tangle in Grelwood.

Note that you must complete Secrets in the Dark quest, otherwise the tree roots will block your path and you will not be able to proceed.

Secrets In The Dark Quest

To start Secrets in the Dark quest, talk to Una in Clearfell Encampment. You will then need to explore Clearfell until you reach the entrance to Grelwood. The exact location varies per instance, so you’ll need to explore and find it on your own. There’s no predefined method.

Entering Red Vale

Once you’re in Grelwood, you’ll need to find a tree with three glowing runes at its roots, then summon Una and she’ll send you to Red Vale. Again, you’ll need to explore Grelwood to find the entrance. You can also kill Forgotten Witch and Brambleghast for some extra POE 2 Currency and loot.

Finding Obelisks Of Rust

In Red Vale, you’ll need to find these structures called Obelisks of Rust, interact with them, and clear the monsters that spawn after the interaction. After clearing them, be sure to loot the green items that drop. Repeat the above steps for the second Obelisk as well. However, at the third Obelisk, you’ll need to defeat the Rust King instead of a normal monster. So be prepared ahead of time.

Defeating Rust King

Since Rust King is vulnerable to lightning damage, it’s best to prioritize using lightning attacks if you have any. I must say, don’t skimp on your Chaos Orbs, using them to scale your lightning damage stat as much as possible can help you kill Rust King as quickly as possible. It’s definitely worth it.

Rust King’s attack pattern is pretty simple. First, he’ll create some spikes around him that will shoot out 360 degrees in all directions. You can avoid them by simply placing yourself between two spikes, though.

Then, he’ll raise his axes high and smash them in front of him, while you can duck behind him and sneakily deal some damage.

His last move is to summon an army and smash his weapons. If you’re a melee character, you can keep them close to the boss and clean them out while you attack the boss. If you’re a ranged character, you can lure them out of the area a bit and get some cover from the boss while you clean them out.

Once everything is done, grab the green item that the boss drops and open the portal to Clearfell Encampment, interact with Renly. He’ll give you some spikes and use Waypoint to return to Grelwood. Then pierce each rune with the spikes given by Renly, interact with Una, and return to Clearfell. You will then have completed Secrets in the Dark quest!

Mysterious Shade Quest

Once you have completed the above quest, you can officially begin your Mysterious Shade quest. Head to Grim Tangle, which you can find through Waypoints, or while exploring Grelwood. As mentioned before, the map is always random, so the map described here will not be the same as yours.

Draven

Una will help you clear the roots, and now your goal becomes to continue through Grim Tangle. This means you need to explore Grim Tangle until you find the exit to Cemetery of the Eternals.

Find that exit, then talk to Lachlann the Lost, who will let you find two keys in two different Mausoleums.

Explore the cemetery until you find the first one. In this instance, our first key is found in Mausoleum of the Praetor. Here you need to find the boss room, the center of Mausoleum, where you will fight Draven.

Draven’s main mechanic is that he attracts those little green ghosts, and when he attracts three of them, he gains power. To stop them, you just have to step on them. It is worth noting that in addition to his basic attack, he will also send out a barrage of projectiles, so dodge them in time.

In phase 2 of the battle, he will summon his girlfriend Asinia to help him. She will draw some circles on the ground, and the player will be damaged shortly after entering the circles. So when you see Asinia, start moving around to avoid the circles.

After defeating Draven, grab Memorial Key and use the portal that appears in the boss’ room to go to the cemetery.

Then explore the cemetery until you find the second tomb. Here we will encounter Tomb of the Consort. Go in, repeat the above steps, and explore until you find the boss room, marked as Heart of the Tomb on the map.

Asinia

This time, you’ll fight Asinia, the Praetor’s Consort. The same ghost mechanics work here, too, with Asinia also attracting green ghosts and gaining power, and again, you can stop them by simply stepping on them.

In the first phase of the fight, she mainly does melee attacks and summons circles on the ground. Then in the second phase, she summons Draven to help her, who fires a barrage of projectiles when he appears, so dodge in time.

Then you need to watch out for her two attacks. The first is when she puts her hand over her chest and bow and then sends out a barrage that deals a lot of damage, and the second is when she launches an attack on a cage. When she puts the cage down, break it with your attack and then walk away, or dodge it because there will be a barrage soon after. After defeating her, take her key and return to the graveyard to talk to Lachlann.

Lachlann

Open the gate, and then you’ll start the final boss fight of this quest, defeat Lachlann.

Firstly, don’t stand behind the boss at first, because he will slam his weapon in front and then slam it in the back, which can do quite a bit of damage. Then another attack he does with his weapon is a wide swing, which is pretty easy to dodge, though.

He has two main Souls attacks. First, a giant green circle appears on the ground where he summons souls and then shoots them straight at you, which is also pretty easy to dodge. Then, the hardest to dodge is when he extends his arm out in front, then brings souls out of the ground and then quickly drops towards you. You’ll need to time this well to dodge. What’s more, the souls will also leave frost trails behind them, so when the big green circle appears, be sure to position yourself carefully so that the frost trails don’t get in your way.

After defeating Lachlann, you can get Count Lachlann’s Ring and a bunch of loot, and this ring is a necessary quest item that you need to complete Mysterious Shade quest.

Anyway, that’s it for this Mysterious Shade quest guide. Hopefully, these tips will help you get through all the boss levels more smoothly. However, I must remind you that it is essential to prepare some suitable equipment and items before starting the mission. If you are currently suffering from a lack of resources, you might want to pay attention to some exciting giveaways that are often launched in IGGM Discord.

Path Of Exile 2 Patch 0.1.1 Update Revealed: What Issues Are Fixed?

Exiles, I believe you have had a great time during the early access release of Path of Exile 2, but this does not mean that POE 2 is problem-free. Fortunately, GGG is always actively listening to player feedback and looking for solutions. Recently, Path of Exile 2 released Patch 0.1.1, which aims to solve some problems that can be solved relatively quickly without creating a new league or a new economy immediately.

Here, we will discuss some of the issues that have been discovered in POE 2 and the measures the developers plan to take in Patch 0.1.1. It’s worth emphasizing that if you find a particular issue is not on this list, it doesn’t mean that GGG is not aware of it or that it won’t be fixed, it just means that they either can’t fix it quickly or can’t fix it without the need for a new economy. So we just need to wait and let time solve all the problems.

Map Basic Experience Improvements

First of all, one of the main areas that needs a lot of attention is the map basic experience, and the developers have made a lot of changes here.

Endgame Balance

It is worth mentioning that the number of monsters, chests, magic and rare monsters, Essences, Strongboxes and Precursor Artifacts in endgame maps have been balanced. With these adjustments, you should find that map farming is more valuable than before, because maps are usually focused on one or more particularly valuable elements. So you can farm POE 2 Currency in a targeted way without wasting more time getting a bunch of useless items.

Added Tower Map

Now, Towers are very important for players because we need to run a lot, but there is only one Tower map at present, which makes many mechanisms for this useless.

Shortly after Early Access was released, many players gave feedback that they hope to add more changes here as soon as possible, so Patch 0.1.1 added four Tower maps: Alpine Ridge, Bluff, Mesa, and Sinking Spire.

Lost Towers Map Rework

In addition, the developers have reworked the existing Lost Towers Map to make playing there less boring. At the same time, since some maps cannot spawn bosses, the probability of loot drops is much lower than we expected at the beginning. Therefore, they chose to compensate for this problem by increasing the drop probability so that they can get the actual expected probability. Then, the developers also added a new type of Tablet that allows you to add bosses to your map using your own mod pool.

Strongboxes Changes

Of course, Strongboxes also need some attention. They now spawn monsters faster, the fog effect is less annoying, and the timing and effects of the mods have also been changed. Players can get a better gaming experience here.

Adjusting Effect Visibility

Now, let’s talk about the visibility of effects. Because many maps are too cluttered, the effects on the ground cannot be rendered, and you can’t see and dodge them in time. For these reasons, the developers have changed both the clutter level of some maps and some effects to ensure that they are always visible.

In addition, the visibility of elemental explosion effects has been improved, and they will last longer before exploding. If rare monsters die, they will disappear without exploding. What’s more, Volatile Plants are also easier to see before exploding.

They have also now increased the zoom level of Atlas and fixed various terrain collision issues on many maps. They have also shortened the loading time for opening World Map and Atlas panel to show the map’s biome on hover. For other in-game content systems, there is a greater focus on making all rewards consistent with what they should be.

Endgame Fixes

For Delirium, the developers recently fixed a bug that caused Delirium monster to not spawn after the opening section. Additionally, Simulacrum will now appear 20% less often to make it more consistent with the pace of finding Expedition and Ritual bosses.

For Ritual, Omens now appear 60% more often in Ritual Tribute window. For Expedition, the rarity of items in the store has been increased, but we hope that GGG will make some more substantial changes to the rewards for this league later.

Improved Pinnacle Bosses Experience

Right now, one of the main issues we still see regularly is that it takes too long to play through the Pinnacle Bosses content, and when you finally get there, you only have one attempt and no chance to get to know the boss.

To address these issues, the developers have made the following changes:

First, Citadel spawn points are closer to the center of Atlas, and they’ve also added an effect so that you can see them from farther away in the fog of war. This makes them easier to find.

To address the issue of only having one attempt, you can now get up to six respawns on Arbiter of Ash. However, respawns can only be triggered by the person who puts the key in, and everyone in your squad will respawn at the same time. Note that leaving the map will still lose your respawns, so you still need to fight the boss with the build you entered the map with.

Although the higher the difficulty of the boss, the fewer times you will respawn, but by then you should know the mechanics of the fight.

Another thing that players noticed was that there were fewer keys from Faradun Citadel on the market, and they thought it was because Citadel spawned less frequently. But it turns out that this was just because this boss killed players more often than other bosses. Still, the developers made some changes to this boss to bring it in line with other bosses.

Unique Item Buffs

On the other hand, it has to be said that many unique items in POE 2 feel unsatisfactory. Although unique items are generally designed to enable builds at high levels, they really need to ensure that more unique items also feel powerful when players first get them at low levels.

For this reason, GGG has buffed a lot of unique items in this patch. These changes should make it more fun to find POE 2 unique items at low levels. More importantly, subsequent games will also be more fun when you have some great unique items available.

In addition to this, the developers also changed a few other things to make it easier to find rare items at high levels. Not only did they slightly change the mod weights to ensure that there are fewer bad mods, but they also made it so that high-level items no longer cull the highest level modifiers for a given mod type. This means you no longer have to invest in more Exalted Orbs to re-roll modifiers to own a splendid piece of gear.

Boss Difficulty Adjustments

Now, as we continue to play, we still find many balance anomalies with specific monsters or bosses that can be annoying if you encounter them. Don’t fret now, because Patch 0.1.1 contains adjustments to a large number of these monsters and bosses. These changes should solve many cases where monsters or bosses feel too difficult in certain situations.

Item Filter System

One big issue for console players is that the web-based item filter system is currently not working properly. This means they can’t use item filters like PC users can. However, in Patch 0.1.1, the same item filter system as Path of Exile 1 will be activated again, which allows you to subscribe to item filters on the website.

Other Fixes

Of course, this patch also contains many other smaller changes and bug fixes, such as strengthening armor and Scavenged Plating, showing the number of uses left on an amulet and the effect when it is triggered, fixing the music that Una plays in town, and many other small fixes and improvements throughout the game.

While these fixes won’t solve all the problems, and it will take some time, GGG still hasn’t given up on finding things that cause frustration and trying to fix them. Hopefully, they’ll do more of this in the future, and look forward to the full release of Path of Exile 2 giving us a better gaming experience!

While waiting for the full release of POE 2, we need to be prepared for it, whether it’s completing a top-level build that suits our play style or preparing a lot of rare resources. If this is the case for you, then you might as well enter IGGM Discord, where there are often giveaways that allow you to get some great rare items for free. As long as you’re active here, lucky opportunities will always come to you.
Path Of Exile 2 (5 Best Witch Minions): Which Ones Should You Choose?

There are currently 6 classes available for you to choose and experience in POE 2 Early Access. Each of them has its own unique characteristics, and the way the available skills work is also very different. If you like to summon something to help you in battle, then Witch may be the best POE 2 class for you.

Path of Exile 2 provides Witch with a combat ability similar to that of a necromancer, allowing you to not only use many elemental and chaotic spells when playing this class but also summon the dead as minions to fight for you. With this help, you will farm POE 2 Currency more efficiently, so that you can strengthen your equipment in time before entering the endgame and calmly deal with more difficult game content.

However, after choosing to play POE 2 Witch, whether you want to play the role of a commander on the battlefield or cast spells and cause damage to the enemy by using spells, minions are an important part of your equipment. Only by bringing the most suitable minions based on your combat habits and other foundations can you achieve victory more easily.

Based on this, we will introduce you to the 5 most useful Witch minions in POE 2.

1. Skeletal Brute

This is a relatively large minion in terms of size. He can cause a lot of damage to the enemy with melee attacks, and can further cause tremendous damage to the enemy within the effect range while stunning the enemy by creating a shock wave.

However, along with the above advantages, summoning Skeletal Brute requires more spirit than other summons. This means that although it is a minion with an excellent tank and damage output capabilities, it is not completely worth your priority because of the excessive spirit required.

The best way to use this minion in Path of Exile 2 at present is to combine it with several ranged and magic minions to create a special build. In addition, although Skeletal Brute shows good lethality, it seems a bit weak when you enter the late stage of the game. Fortunately, if you can provide it with enough spirit, it is still very useful in the early stage.

2. Skeletal Reaver

As an upgraded version of Skeletal Warrior, since Skeletal Reaver is easier to obtain in the early stages of POE 2, you may tend to use it frequently in the early stages. In addition, although Skeletal Warrior can withstand more attacks from the enemy, Skeletal Reaver requires fewer summoning materials and can also cause more continuous damage.

It is worth noting that this minion can also be angry. During this period, although it loses health points every second, the damage it causes to the enemy is greatly increased. In order to make full use of this feature, it is recommended that you use it in combination with Skeletal Cleric, so that you can cause greater damage through Skeletal Reaver while letting Cleric continue to heal it, so that you and these minions can survive smoothly until the end of the battle.

3. Skeletal Frost Mage

As you know, the characteristics of Witch class are to combine spell-casting and summoning the army of the undead. If you want to play these two advantages in battle, the appearance of Skeletal Frost Mage minion may do this.

After summoning an army of mages and casting spells for them, the Skeletal Frost Mage can fire ice bombs at enemies for you, which can not only cause considerable area damage but also slow down enemies by applying cold to them, reducing the possibility of them getting close to you to hit you.

However, you need to be aware that Skeletal Frost Mage is more suitable for supporting roles in combat rather than being used as a primary damage dealer. The best way to use it is to use a powerful melee unit such as Skeletal Brute or Skeletal Reaver to attract the enemy’s attention, and then let Skeletal Frost Mage’s ranged ability provide them with damage bonuses.

4. Skeletal Cleric

Like Skeletal Frost Mage, this is also a minion suitable for playing a supporting role. Skeletal Cleric cannot cause damage to the enemy and may not seem powerful, but it can heal and even revive other minions for you, allowing other more powerful minions to last longer in combat, which is very useful for challenging higher-level POE 2 content.

In addition, although summoning Skeletal Cleric does not require you to consume too much spirit, the fact is that running many Clerics at the same time is not entirely conducive to your dominance. The best way to use this minion at present is to add it to your existing builds and mix melee and ranged units for support.

5. Skeletal Arsonist

As a minion that can be unlocked by you early in the game, you will fully feel their power when you first experience the game plot. In specific battles, Skeletal Arsonist mainly causes area damage to enemies by throwing bombs or exploding other minions nearby.

If you can summon other minions as allies for Skeletal Arsonist besides making your gear get more spell power by consuming POE 2 Regal Orbs, then Skeletal Arsonist can play a role beyond your imagination. For example, if you combine it with Skeletal Cleric, you can form a cycle between continuous detonation and revival of minions, so that you can always make enemies be killed by explosions. However, it should be noted that this method may not work well when there are too many enemies.

No matter which minions you choose as your helpers in the end, it is still necessary to continue to upgrade your gear or other items through orbs, so it is recommended that you take the time to participate in the POE 2 Currency giveaway event on IGGM Discord, you may can get a lot of orbs!
Path Of Exile 2 Astramentis: How To Get This Unique Amulet?

In Path of Exile 2, unique items are a good way to improve the strength of your build, but not every unique item will improve your build. Players who often study builds know that the best one is the one that suits you.

The number and density of monsters in Path of Exile 2 are not as many as those in POE 1, but they are still very tricky. Their individual strength has been improved, and they have gained stronger health and attack power, which makes players have to be careful when dealing with monsters on each map. This is indeed in line with what Elon Musk said. The characteristics of monster layout in Path of Exile 2 are like a combination of Diablo 4 and Dark Souls series.

Unique items include weapons and accessories, most of which have unique effects or can improve your attributes. Players can basically get several unique items during the game, because some levels or bosses will drop them fixedly. There are more than 100 unique items in the entire POE 2 now. It is too difficult to collect all the unique items, but there are still many ways to get some of them.

Astramentis

Astramentis is a Unique Stellar Amulet that increases all your attributes. There are many amulets in POE 2, and each amulet can bring different benefits to the player. For example, Witch usually chooses Solar Amulet to match her build. Solar Amulet is a common amulet that can directly increase 10 to 15 Spirit, which is very helpful for improving Witch’s summoning of minions.

Astramentis is a unique item, and the benefits it can bring to the player are even more amazing. Its basic effect is to increase all attributes by 5 to 7, and its unique effect is to increase all attributes of your character by 80 to 100, and also provide you with 4 points of physical damage reduction.

Providing all attribute increases to the character, this unique effect is destined to make Astramentis a very versatile amulet. Since each character can only equip one amulet, if you can’t decide which amulet to choose when matching equipment for your build, you can use this a Unique Stellar Amulet first. Replace it when you find a more suitable item. After all, this amulet that increases all attributes will never let you suffer.

However, this amulet requires you to reach level 24 to equip it, so don’t ignore its level requirement.

How To Get It?

If you are lucky enough, you can find it in the drops of rare monsters or bosses with unique modifiers. However, not all players are so lucky, and the drop system of POE 2 has always been criticized. Usually, finding a complete POE 2 Currency in the drops can make players happy. Even for bosses, players often see fragments of Exalted Orb, not to mention a Unique Stellar Amulet.

Since this amulet is almost impossible to obtain it when you sweep the monsters on the map, what else can be done? Here we have to mention a magical currency in POE 2, Orb of Chance.

If you feel that currency is scarce in the usual game, you can enter IGGM discord, where there will be some giveaways, and maybe you can get an Orb of Chance.

Orb of Chance can destroy ordinary items or transform them into unique items. This process is random. It is not difficult for players to get an ordinary amulet, because ordinary amulets can be dropped by defeating monsters on the map. The only difficulty is how to get Orb of Chance. However, players can also get a complete Orb of Chance by stacking 10 Chance Shards in their backpacks. In any case, the difficulty of getting Orb of Chance is much lower than the difficulty of accurately dropping a Unique Stellar Amulet from countless drop pools. Therefore, even if it may not succeed at once, using Orb of Chance to bet on an Astramentis is the fastest way. Because there are only two Unique Stellar Amulets in Poe 2 at present, the probability of betting on an Astramentis is almost 50%.

Compared to other unique items, Astramentis’s effect seems a bit plain, but this is also good because it is generally suitable for various builds. Unless a certain build absolutely needs a certain amulet, Astramentis can be your first choice for other builds. The only disadvantage of Astramentis is that as a unique item, it is not so easy to obtain it, but in fact, as long as you have Orb of Chance, it is not too difficult to obtain it. The good news is that it is not difficult to get Orb of Chance, so after reaching level 24, players can try to gamble an Astramentis, which is enough for you to use for quite a long time.

The above is all about how to get Astramentis in Path of Exile 2. Players should not miss this very commonly used amulet, but here is another reminder for all players. Although Orb of Chance can convert ordinary items into unique items, some unique items cannot be converted. They are special drops from Boss. Therefore, players must check whether the unique item is within the conversion range of Orb of Chance before using it.
Path Of Exile 2 Ingenuity Utility Belt: How To Get And Utilize This Item?
In POE 2, you will often encounter monsters and bosses that need to be fought, and as the game progresses, the difficulty of the battles will increase. Here, besides using the right builds, you also need to obtain some gear or items that can perfectly cooperate with your builds.

Although some gear may require you to exchange by specific POE 2 Currency, some will be provided to you as loot after you complete a task or defeat a boss, including Ingenuity Utility Belt.

Based on this, we will introduce you to how to obtain Ingenuity Utility Belt and its main functions.

What Is Ingenuity Utility Belt?

In fact, you can think of this belt as a highly universal ultimate item in Path of Exile 2, because its unique effects not only make it compatible with most builds but also interact well with your other gear to create more combat benefits. So once you reach POE 2 endgame, you’ll definitely want to incorporate this belt into your endgame build.

Of course, as useful as this Path of Exile 2 item is, it’s usually difficult to obtain. To get Ingenuity Utility Belt, you’ll need to track down a difficult endgame boss, and there’s no guarantee that the belt will drop even if you defeat it. But given how effective the belt is, you should still try.

How To Get It?

The prerequisite for getting this belt is to defeat a boss called King in the Mists, but before you can start that fight, you’ll first need to collect An Audience with the King. Like Ingenuity Utility Belt, this is a rare item that can only be obtained after you win the campaign on both Normal and Cruel difficulty and reach the endgame through Atlas of Worlds.

Once you reach the endgame, you can unlock Altar of Favors, which is actually a store that sells map nodes and events instead of items - fortunately, you may also meet An Audience with the King in it.

It should be noted that Altar of Favors only accepts tribute as currency, and it usually takes 2,900 to 3,700 tributes to exchange for An Audience with the King, so you need to accumulate tributes for a long time before you can get An Audience. The current way to farm tribute is to complete Ritual events on Atlas.

But if you think this is troublesome, you can also try to exchange POE 2 Chaos Orbs for An Audience with other players through Path of Exile 2’s trading system - you may think, then why not just exchange it to get Ingenuity Utility Belt? This is of course possible, but the orbs required will also be more.

However, no matter how you get An Audience with the King, you will be asked to bring it back to Realmgate, which will allow you to enter The Crux of Nothingness, where King in the Mists will appear.

How To Defeat King In The Mists?

This boss battle consists of two phases, with many complex mechanisms. First, in the first phase, you must destroy the totems he spawns as soon as possible, otherwise you will be continuously damaged by them. As for the attacks launched by the boss, you can avoid them by continuing to move to avoid being trapped in place.

Another thing worth noting in this phase is that the boss will occasionally teleport around the arena and spawn monsters around. At this time, you need to destroy them quickly to avoid being attacked by these monsters. When the boss’s health drops to 25%, you will be teleported to a maze. Just follow the floating lights to find a way out and you will enter the second phase of the battle.

In the second phase, the boss will focus more on outputting AOE damage, so you need to be careful to avoid the tornado he summons. If you are hit by it, your armor will break. While dodging his normal attacks, be sure to avoid the frogs and exploding purple blocks he summons.

Once you successfully survive both phases and defeat this boss, you will have a chance to obtain one of the following five unique items:
- The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
- Pragmatism Explorer Armor
- Beetlebite Velour Shoes
- From Nothing Diamond
- Ingenuity Utility Belt
Although the higher the difficulty level of this boss fight, the higher the chance of obtaining these items, the overall drop rate of the Ingenuity Utility Belt is still relatively low.

Use Of Ingenuity Utility Belt

After obtaining this belt, you can equip it like equip any other gear. It gives you an amulet slot to equip your favorite amulet and also provides you with two permanent effects:
- 20% of the flask’s recovery is applied immediately
- The bonus provided by the equipped ring is increased by 40-80%
The first buff means that whenever you use Life or Mana Flask, you will get some healing immediately; the second buff increases the effectiveness of your equipped ring, making it synergize well with most POE 2 builds, allowing your ring to fully utilize its own value.
