Path Of Exile 2 Boosting

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.

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!

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.

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.
