In the early access of Path of Exile 2, which was released on December 6, you can experience a wealth of game content through the three acts and six classes it provides. Among them, each act has many quests waiting for you to complete, and their difficulty and the amount of POE2 Currency rewards are also different.

And it is worth noting that you must complete the last or most critical quests in each act of POE 2 in order to enter the next act and smoothly advance the game’s progress. Therefore, these quests are always difficult. In Act 2, Jamanra, the Abomination stands out the most.

As the main final boss of Act 2, Jamanra, the Abomination will be found on Dreadnought Vanguard when you are with Asala. Although you will have a short battle with Jamanra early in Act 2, the main battle takes place at the end of the act, when he will become Jamanra, the Abomination.

Based on this, we will introduce you to how to defeat this terrible boss.

Preparation Before The Battle

Before facing this boss, you need to keep your character level around 33-36. Regarding the enemy, Jamanra is afraid of cold damage, so if you are a Sorceress or Monk and use frost skill builds, you will have an easier time. In addition, fire damage of any other profession or poison damage of Ranger is also good.

In addition, we recommend that you equip as many items that can resist lightning as possible to offset Jamanra’s powerful attacks. The lightning resistance amulet in Act 1 and the lightning resistance Topaz Ring that can be found in Act 1 or Act 2 can do this, but their drops are random. Or you can try to farm lightning resistance equipment in Dreadnought or Deshar in Act 2. But this method is more luck-based and requires you to persist for a while.

Also, if you have enough POE 2 Exalted Orbs, we recommend that you enhance the rare equipment you have by adding random affixes so that you can get extra damage when facing this boss in addition to being able to effectively resist lightning.

How To Pass The First Stage?

In the battle with Jamanra, the Abomination is divided into two stages, and the first stage may be more difficult than the second stage. During this initial phase, Jamanra’s two main attacks are a lightning melee attack that hits directly in front of them, and a spear throw when fighting at a distance.

His melee attacks won’t do as much damage to you, and you’ll have more flexibility in when you dodge. Circle around Jamanra and stand next to him to keep triggering melee attacks.

When fighting at a distance, you’ll find that Jamanra’s spear attacks are difficult to dodge. But before launching this attack, they will have spears on both sides of their shoulders and will swing their arms forward to foreshadow you so that you can find the right time to dodge. But if you dodge too early, you will be hit by the follow-up spear when you recover.

In addition, you need to use range attacks or single target attacks as much as possible, because Jamanra doesn’t move around the arena very often, and walls of fire, totems, poison bottles, frost fields, etc. can all reduce Jamanra’s health. Similarly, strikes, slams, etc. are also useful and can allow you to deal a lot of damage to this boss.

Towards the end of the first phase, if there is still a large group of enemies, you can crawl around the arena, dodging Jamanra’s spear while using spells to kill them. Once Jamanra’s health drops to 60% and he returns to the altar he was on at the start of the fight, your cart will be destroyed and the next phase of the fight will begin.

How To Win The Second Phase?

During the second phase, the only main attack Jamanra retains is a melee attack. They can perform another small melee attack with their arms, which you can avoid by dodging or backing away. And Jamanra will always cast a whirlwind that spins around the map to attack, and they will move randomly around the map. But as long as you avoid stepping on them, you will be fine.

It is worth noting that during the second phase, Jamanra will also use two swords for continuous attacks. The first is a slash that hits the area in front of him, and to avoid it you need to roll to the direction the boss is attacking, which is to his right - as he swings the spear over his head, a bolt of lightning hits the spear, signaling that the slash is coming.

The second attack takes longer to prepare, but does more damage. Jamanra will create a gigantic sword, hold it behind him, and slam it into the ground after a second of preparation to damage you. When you see him swing this sword over his head, you can roll to the side to avoid it, as the attack will hit in a straight line from Jamanra’s position.

Jamanra moves faster during this phase, so your area attacks will be less effective. While this doesn’t mean they’re not worth using, attacks that track enemies or bounce off walls will be more effective during this phase. Specifically, to deal damage, just keep casting skills on the boss while avoiding whirlwind or sword attacks.

When Jamanra’s health drops to about half, he will start to drop lightning pylons into the ground. These towers don’t move, but can block routes around the arena to limit your movement.

Based on this, the best strategy is to move around the arena in a circle, dodging attacks as they occur. This type of movement can provide you with an escape route when Jamanra is following you, or allow you to dodge a whirlwind or lightning field launched by the boss when needed.

In fact, good positioning is the key to this battle. The more times you try to fight while continuously depleting Jamanra’s health, the better your positioning ability will be to avoid these attacks. And when you win and the battle is over, you can enter the third act of Path of Exile 2, there is even a chance to get some POE 2 Regal Orbs.
