Path Of Exile 2 Carry Run

In Path of Exile 2 early access released on December 6, 2024, besides 6 fun classes, you will also can experience 3 campaigns with rich plots and challenges. These campaigns can not only provide POE 2 Currency as loot but also drop some special items.

Some of these items may only be stored in your inventory as souvenirs, but some can provide you with some wonderful benefits after you consume and use them in the right way, such as Sacrificial Heart.

Based on this, we will introduce you to Sacrificial Heart from multiple aspects.

What Is Sacrificial Heart?

Before you can get Sacrificial Heart, you must first complete all the pre-game content and enter the third act, but you can’t take it lightly at this time, because you must continue to fight against specific enemies in the third act to have a chance to get Sacrificial Heart from them as one of the loot.

It is worth mentioning that the main story of this stage takes place after you use the portal in Ziggurat camp to go back to the past. During this period, all the areas available for you to explore and the NPCs to interact with will be new, including the loot you get from the enemy, Sacrificial Heart.

The game describes Sacrificial Heart as “a soul still clinging to fading shreds of life”. And if you want to obtain the eternal boon, it provides for your character, you must sacrifice the item “at the proper ritual site”.

Where Will Sacrificial Heart Appear?

In the current pre-experience, you can get Sacrificial Heart dropped by killing the enemies in the two areas of Utzaal and Aggorat. If you are lucky enough, those high-level enemies may also drop the rare POE 2 Exalted Orb.

As the first area you explore after using Ziggurat portal, you may need to defeat multiple enemies in Utzaal before you have a chance to pick up Sacrificial Heart. Although you may die during this period, don’t be afraid. As long as you keep resetting the areas where you may find Sacrificial Heart to reset the enemy spawns, you can get more drops. In addition, Vaal Goliaths and Vaal Overseers are the enemies with the highest chance of dropping Sacrificial Hearts in Utzaal, so you can focus on farming them.

Entering Aggorat from the portal is much more difficult than Utzaal, so it is recommended to reach this area by defeating the boss Legion Blockade in Utzaal - after winning the battle, you will hear chanting, and then walk behind the giant statue in the area to walk up the stairs to the new location.

But if you find that you can’t find Sacrificial Heart anywhere in Act 3, then it’s time to find a checkpoint to reset the enemies. The more checkpoints in Utzaal or Aggorat, the more places you can check or respawn. Or you may accidentally pick up a Sacrificial Heart while killing an enemy. At this time, you can try using the loot filter to check if you have a Sacrificial Heart stored in your inventory without knowing it.

It is worth mentioning that while looking for Sacrificial Heart, besides various Orbs, you can also obtain other materials and loot for making equipment or upgrading your game character by killing related enemies.

How To Use Sacrificial Heart?

After obtaining Sacrificial Heart, in order to play its role, you first need to return to Aggorat and follow Trail of Sacrifice in the area to find Blood Sacrifice-here will be identified by many bleeding corpses. After that, you will find that the stairs here lead to a huge altar, on which there is an item called Sacrificial Dagger, which needs to be used with Sacrificial Heart.

Pick up Sacrificial Dagger and place Sacrificial Heart in the center of the altar to start the blood sacrifice. When you put these two items together in your inventory, you will see an option to Stab Sacrificial Heart. Clicking it will play a cutscene in the game, and your character will kneel down and pierce Sacrificial Heart, which means you will gain the following two permanent attribute bonuses:

• +2 Passive Skill Points
• +2 Weapon Skill Points

Whatever builds you use in POE 2, these skill points can further improve them and make you more powerful. And whether your character is injured or dies unexpectedly, these buffs will not disappear, so you have the freedom to use them to the maximum extent. For example, you can use them to invest in passive skills that reduce elemental damage, giving yourself more survival opportunities.

If you have the energy to spare and your character is high enough, you can try to collect Sacrificial Hearts again on Cruel difficulty and destroy it again on the altar. Although this action will not increase the rewards you have already received, it will provide you with a second instance.

Although these two skill point buffs may seem insignificant at first glance, they can actually play an important role in your subsequent Path of Exile 2 journey. If you want to seek more available gains, exchanging with Orbs is also a good choice.

If you have played POE 1, you will know that this series of games requires you to invest a lot of time and effort to complete the game. Even POE 2, which is still in the early access stage, is no exception.

But in Path of Exile 2, if you want to enter the endgame for mapping successfully so that you can complete the game as soon as possible, besides completing the three-act campaign, you also need to have enough Waystones. Because as you explore the endgame more deeply, the mapping level will also be higher. Although this means that you have the opportunity to get more POE 2 Currency, it will consume more Waystones.

For this reason, you must know how to farm Waystones efficiently so that you can continue to map and get more loot. Based on this, we will introduce some methods to you.

Explore The Boss Map Of Atlas First

Although mapping will consume your Waystones, some maps will also drop Waystones after you finish the battle, so that your mapping journey can continue to operate. The absolute best way to maintain your Waystones through mapping in Path of Exile 2 is to use your rarest Waystones to unlock the endgame Atlas boss maps.

Because in these maps, the chances of them dropping Waystones for you after you kill the boss are very high. If you run out of high-level maps, you can also use lower-level maps to navigate to the boss node and fight it. After defeating it, you will have a chance to get 1 Waystone of equal or higher level, sometimes even more.

Utilizing POE 2 Orbs

As the most important type of currency in the game, you may be tempted to hoard all Exalted Orbs you have for trading or crafting, but in fact you can also use them to enhance Waystones.

If you can successfully survive each battle to farm currency, the more currency you use on Waystones, the more rewards you will get - it’s a virtuous cycle. But this cycle only works if you continue to invest in Waystones. In addition, different levels of Waystones have different types of enhancements and required orb types:

• Tier 1-5 Waystones: Upgrade to Magic items-Orb of Augmentation, Orb of Transmutation.
• Tier 6-10 Waystones: Upgrade to Rare items-Regal Orb.
• Tier 11-16 Waystones: Upgrade as much as possible-Regal Orb, Exalted Orb, Vaal Orb, Delirium Instills.

In addition, if you can increase the Waystone drop chance during the mapping process, set it to at least 200% or more, and increase the number of monsters that can drop rare items in the area, as well as the rarity of items found in this area, it will make your mapping results more valuable.

Unlocking Waystone Drop Chance Atlas Skill Tree Nodes

As you gradually unlock more advanced Waystone tiers and complete Doryani’s quests, you will unlock Atlas skill tree and gain related benefits by unlocking the nodes in it. If you can use the nodes that help you maintain your Waystones in the endgame wisely, you will get a vital benefit.

It is worth mentioning that if you think you may have trouble using Waystones in the future; it is recommended to unlock the following three nodes first:

• Constant Crossroads: Increases the number of Waystones available on the map by 20%.
• Fortunate Path: Increases the rarity of Waystones dropped in the map by 100%.
• The High Road: Increases the chance of Waystones you find to be higher level by 20%.

Fortunately, you will unlock these three nodes as long as you complete the level 4 map. And if you choose another node unlocking route on Atlas skill tree, don’t hesitate to use gold to re-assign it immediately. After all, Waystones are more valuable than gold.

Perfect Your Builds Before Entering Tier 5+ Maps

If you find that you have been dying from bosses, rare or even common monsters in the endgame, which has caused you to waste a lot of Waystones, it is likely that the builds you are using in battle are not compatible with the endgame difficulty.

If you find that this is the case after checking, you should immediately look for the builds guide for your current class so that you can change the build you are using in time to make it more suitable for your mapping progress.

Use Precursor Tablets

As one of the important props in POE 2, Precursor Tablets can be used to increase the rarity and number of monsters, as well as additional modifiers on towers. So you can stack them on towers close to each other, so that the current map gets the additional effect of two or even three Precursor Tablets, and get more Waystones by killing more monsters in a single time.

Trade On The Official Website

Sometimes, even if you take all precautions, you may still face the situation of running out of Waystones. At this time, in order to have a chance to start over, it is completely okay to rely on trading websites. After all, the meaning of its existence is to provide you with convenience, right?

Currently, all levels of Waystones can be exchanged by 1 Exalted Orb. If you plan to get them in bulk, you can use the in-game trading channel, and just type /trade 1 in the chat box to access the most active trading channel directly so that you can find sellers as soon as possible.
