What Are The Ways To Increase Spirit In Path Of Exile 2?

Jan 04, 2025

When fighting in POE 2, besides the skills based on the class you play, you can also use items to gain effective resistance against different types of enemies, or different benefits provided by various resources, so that you can survive to the end and win smoothly.

Among these resources, Spirit is one that deserves your attention, because it is an indispensable component of some builds. Most builds in Path of Exile 2 can use Spirit in a special form, but only if you have enough POE 2 Currency to make full use of it.

In terms of benefits, Spirit can give you continuous passive gains to help you gain an advantage in battle. And these gains come in many forms, and you can use uncut Spirit gems to equip different types of Spirit to unused slots to obtain these gains-especially if your build is related to minions, because summoning minions requires Spirit consumption.

By default, in the current POE 2 early access, each build starts with zero Spirit as the initial state, so you cannot use any Spirit gems to gain Spirit at the beginning of the game. But luckily, as soon as you enter Act I, you will have at least 30 Spirit very quickly, and you can start earning Spirit on your own right after that.

With that in mind, we’ll show you the three main ways you can currently earn Spirit in POE 2.What Are The Ways To Increase Spirit In Path Of Exile 2?

1. Get Spirit Items From Bosses

As you know, after killing a boss in Path of Exile 2, a variety of loot will drop, including an item that can help you boost your Spirit, besides the versatile POE 2 Chaos Orbs and gear available in battle.

For example, in Act I there is an Ominous Altars quest located in the Freythorn area. Once you enter this quest, you need to destroy and clean up three altars scattered around the map, the last of which is guarded by a Boss called The King in the Mists. Although it’s difficult to defeat it, the boss will drop an item called Gembloom Skull if you succeed.

Once picked up, the item is added to your inventory, and if you choose to consume it, your Spirit will increase by 30, which is enough to equip a Spirit gem with your character in Act 1. Of course, if you need more gems, you’ll need to continue to find and kill new Spirit bosses, including the following:

  • Freythorn (Act 1): The King in the Mists, +30 Spirit.
  • The Azak Bog (Act 3): Ignaduk, The Bog Witch, +30 Spirit.
  • The Azak Bog (Act 3): Ignaduk, The Bog Witch (Cruel Difficulty), +40 Spirit.

However, there are many common bosses that have the potential to drop Spirit-boosting items. However, since they are not all story bosses, you will need to check the boss’ icons in the areas you visit on the map to determine which bosses you can fight. Although these bosses will not necessarily drop Spirit items after death, they may bring you a rare piece of gear.

2. Use Specific Gear

When you find a new piece of gear, whether it’s a weapon or armor, hover over the icon to see its affixes - if one affix is to increase Spirit, then equipping it will naturally increase the Spirit you have.

Currently, two examples of this type of gear are Scepter, which increases Spirit by +100, and Solar Amulet, of which Scepter has a more prominent effect.

But it should be noted that Scepter is a one-handed weapon, and you need to equip it in your off-hand. So if you are also using a two-handed weapon or an off-hand shield, you can’t use Scepter. Fortunately, you can still choose Solar Amulet or other gear instead.

If you are unlucky and the gear you get does not have the affix that increases Spirit, you can try to use Exalted Orb to add new additional affixes to your items. Or gambling with random gear vendors may also allow you to get some gear with Spirit affixes.

3. Choose Infernalist As Your Ascendancy Class

This method is more limited than the first two methods, because Infernalist is only Ascendancy of Witch class, so if you play another base class or haven’t unlocked Ascendancy yet, you can’t play as an Infernalist.

But when you enter the endgame as a Witch, you will choose to unlock Infernalist Ascendancy, and open a new skill tree with many nodes to choose from. Beidat’s Will node will increase your Spirit for every 25 increase in your maximum health.

This means that if your maximum health is already high, you can accumulate additional Spirit without having to try the first two Spirit increase methods. Although this also means that you always need to reserve a part of your life for the Spirit, if you can accept this, then choosing Infernalist is a good way.

And Infernalist Ascendancy allows you to choose more life-boosting nodes later, allowing you to find a way to offset the life loss caused by Beidat’s Will while still gaining Spirit.

If you can master these three methods, I believe you will gain enough Spirit to help you in the battle and win as many victories as possible in your POE 2 journey. Good luck!
