Path Of Exile 2 Accounts

In a Diablo-like game like Path of Exile 2, players often feel that their level or equipment is a bit weak to deal with enemies after a while. In the previous map, you were still facing the enemy like cutting melons and vegetables, but in the new area, your attacks are like hitting a stone. At this time, you should know that it is time to farm the map and improve yourself.

In Path of Exile 2, players can farm monsters by creating new areas. The operation method of console players and PC players is slightly different. Console players need to hold down the button to move to the new map, while PC players need to hold down shift and click.

Of course, for players, farming monsters is actually not as efficient as farming bosses, because the drop rate of bosses is much higher than that of ordinary monsters, and secondly, bosses sometimes drop some special items. When players first face certain bosses, they are still a bit tricky, but when the player’s skill level and equipment level are improved, dealing with an early boss is not much more difficult than dealing with an elite monster.

How To Choose Boss?

However, not all bosses are suitable for farming. They must at least meet the following conditions.

• 1. Players can kill them stably.
• 2. The boss’s drops are good enough and will not delay the player’s leveling.
• 3. The speed of killing a boss should be as fast as possible.

These conditions are the criteria for judging whether a boss is suitable for repeated farming. In any case, at least the first condition must be met. You must ensure that you are farming the boss instead of being farmed by the boss. The death penalty in Path of Exile 2 is still very painful for players.

Here are some recommended bosses for farming:

Minor Bosses

• Location: Most Maps
• Potential Rewards: Skill gems, Support gems, Gear, Currency

Players should be most familiar with various mini bosses. I believe that many players have more or less dealt with these small bosses. The rewards provided by these bosses are decent, and the difficulty is not very high. The experience rewards provided are also better than those of ordinary monsters. It is really the best choice for early leveling.

But note that some rewards can only be obtained when you kill these monsters for the first time, such as POE 2 Exalted Orb, Divine Orb or Skill gems. This is a special drop mechanism to prevent you from not getting key items and being unable to pass the next boss due to RNG item drops in the early stage. Normally, the drop rate of currency is still very low.

Executioner in Ogham Village, Kabala Constrictor Queen in Keth, and Mighty Silverfist in Jungle Ruins are all very suitable for farming, but Minor Bosses are only suitable for farming in the early stage. In the later stage, it is recommended that you look for the boss in the endgame.

Act Bosses

• Location: Ogham Manor &Dreadnought Vanguard & The Black Chambers
• Potential Rewards: Skill Gem, Gear, Currency

The rewards of Act Bosses are much higher than those of Minor Bosses, but they are also more difficult to deal with. At the same time, they do not drop any unique items. If you can kill these Act Bosses reliably, these bosses will be a slightly more difficult Minor Bosses for you.

You need to judge whether you can kill these bosses quickly enough to determine whether they can be used for farming. If you want equipment and other items, it is recommended that you deal with pinnacle bosses after the endgame.

Pinnacle Bosses

The King In The Mists

Location:

Obtain Audience With The King (Ritual Altars) and use in Realmgate

Potential Rewards:

• Beetlebite, unique boots
• Ingenuity, unique belt
• The Burden of Shadows, unique staff
• Pragmatism, unique body armor (difficulty 2 and above)
• From Nothing, unique jewel (difficulty 4 only)

Pinnacle Bosses are much more difficult than Act Bosses, but their rewards are also really generous. The King In The Mists drops a lot of useful unique items, and the difficulty of The King In The Mists increases, and its drops are also different.

The King In The Mists is the most suitable boss for farming in the endgame. Why? Because players can encounter a weaker version of it in ACT 1, and the moves of the two are similar. As long as you are familiar with the moves of a boss in advance, it will not be that difficult to deal with it.

Olroth, Origin Of The Fall

Location:

Find Dannig on Expeditions, open an Expedition with a level 79+ logbook for a chance to spawn

Potential Rewards:

• Keeper of the Ark, unique helm
• Olrovasara, unique mace (1H)
• Svalinn, unique shield
• Heroic Tragedy, Timeless jewel
• Olroth’s Resolve, unique life flask

If you plan to farm Currency, then Expeditions is a good choice. You can open chests in this event, and special enemies will also drop a lot of goodies. Olroth, Origin Of The Fall is the pushover of all Pinnacle Bosses. Olroth has only 8 million health and is only resistant to cold and physical damage, which means you can damage it with Fire, Lightning and Chaos. This is much better than other super strong Pinnacle Bosses that have almost all resistances.

Olroth is very good at freezing, so if you plan to hunt it, you should bring Silver or Thawing Charm to counteract its freezing effect on you.

There are other Pinnacle Bosses that can be farmed, but either they are too rewarding but too difficult, or the challenges to unlock them are very complicated. Killing these Pinnacle Bosses repeatedly is time-consuming and laborious, and there is always the possibility of being killed. If you are not looking for any special unique items, the bosses above are enough to meet your farming experience or currency requirements.

POE series has always been famous for its high difficulty in APRG, and POE 2 also continues this feature. Therefore, if you want to earn enough POE 2 Currency, you not only need to complete daily campaigns or tasks of varying sizes but also need to win various boss battles.

There are currently 3 acts in the playable Path of Exile 2 early access, and there are many bosses in each act. Although the boss’ difficulty increases as you go to the later stages, this does not mean that you can take the bosses of the first two acts lightly at least Tor Gul, The Defiler in the second act is worthy of your attention.

Based on this, we will introduce you to the location and combat mode of this boss to help you defeat it smoothly.

Where Does Tor Gul Appear?

After you complete the assembly of Horn of the Vastiri and blow it, you can enter Deshar. After exploring this area for a while, you will eventually find Jamanra and Beast of Corruption, but before you find them, Jamanra will summon Tor Gul, The Defiler, a giant skeleton monster, as another boss in the quest.

Tor Gul is located at the end of Spires of Deshar, after you pass Deshar and Path of Mourning. To ensure that you can respond correctly the first time you encounter it, we will introduce its attack skills and how to deal with it.

How To Defeat Tor Gul?

When you trigger the battle with this boss, you will enter an octagonal arena. Tor Gul will initially be stationary in a hole in the center of the arena. Once you enter, he will begin to attack.

Claw Rake

When using this skill, Tor Gul will drag his arms from the right to the left to cross half of the arena, and you will be damaged if you are touched by him. So when you see Tor Gul start to retract his arms, quickly move behind him to avoid being damaged. If your movement speed is not enough, it would be better to exchange some gear that can increase movement speed through POE 2 Divine Orbs in advance.

Skeleton Vomit

As the name suggests, this skill allows Tor Gul to vomit several skeleton enemies, causing damage by having them attack you. The annoying thing is that these skeletons will remain in the arena and continue to cause damage over time, so you must kill them in time and stay as far away from the boss’s “vomit” range as possible.

Fire Strike

While the skill is in effect, Tor Gul will open his chest and release fireballs, which will randomly fly forward to hit you. But before using this skill, Tor Gul will stand up and use his arms to pry open his chest after using the back attack. So you need to observe the boss carefully and move to his back in time after discovering these signs to avoid being attacked.

Head Smash

Tor Gul will deal heavy damage to you by slamming his head after standing up, but the signal before this attack is similar to Fire Strike, so you can still avoid Head Smash by moving close to the boss’s back.

Hand Crush

This skill is similar to the previous one, except that Hand Crush makes Tor Gul deal high damage by slamming his hands, and the attack speed of this skill is faster, so it is difficult to avoid. So if you want to dodge it successfully, you need to keep an eye on Tor Gul’s hands.

Flamethrower

This skill manifests as Tor Gul slowly turning around while breathing fire, covering half of the arena with flames, and the flames will always be there to damage you. So when you see Tor Gul start breathing fire, you must run to the other side of the arena to avoid it, and avoid Tor Gul’s other attacks while moving. If you have the energy to spare, you can also deal some damage while moving.

Bombs

Tor Gul will crouch and create bombs around the arena, which can be identified by orange marks. Since the actual blast radius is a bit larger than the marks indicate, you need to take this into account when moving.

Flame Tornados

Sometimes, after using a bomb attack, the boss will create a fire tornado on some marks that lasts for a few seconds. However, it is easy to avoid these because you should have already avoided the tornado when you were dodging the bomb.

Other Things To Note During The Battle

The key to fighting Tor Gul is actually to keep moving and stay behind him as much as possible, because this will make it easier to avoid almost all attacks. Because when you are behind Tor Gul, he will keep trying to turn towards you, which will give you a few extra seconds to react and successfully avoid his attacks.

In addition, the boss will deal a lot of chip damage and damage over time in this battle, so you need to use your potions effectively. For example, if you are in the range of Tor Gul’s Skeleton Vomit or fire skills while busy dodging other attacks from the boss, your health will be depleted unknowingly, which is when the health potion equipped in advance will come in handy. Or having a Life Flask that recharges over time can also be helpful.

Since Tor Gul mainly uses fire and physical attacks, having gear that increases resistance will greatly increase your chances of survival, such as Ruby Ring and the fire resistance charm. This way you don’t even have to change your usual builds for this fight, but can just consume some Exalted Orbs or other orbs.

Hopefully, the guide we provided will help you defeat Tor Gul, The Defiler in Path of Exile 2 as quickly as possible, so that you can complete the second act of the game. Wish you success!
