News Tag: POE 2 Divine Orbs

As you explore Path of Exile 2 Early Access, you’ll have the opportunity to gain access to some Ascendancy Classes with more powerful abilities to help you take on more difficult battles or missions, but please note that you’ll need to complete some Trials before you can get them.

The first one you’ll encounter is Trial of Sekhemas in Act 2, where you’ll first unlock some Ascendancy Classes, and to unlock all of them, you’ll need to complete Trial of Chaos in Act 3. But this Trial isn’t that easy to unlock, you’ll need to complete a boss encounter with Xyclucian, The Chimera.

This is the boss you’ll encounter while searching for Jiquani’s Machinarium in Chimeral Wetlands. Since this three-headed enemy uses a variety of elemental attacks that are difficult to dodge, you’ll need the specific methods and strategies for finding and defeating Xyclucian in this guide to ensure that your subsequent Trials exploration is not affected.

Xyclucian, The Chimera Location

You’ll find this boss in Deadly Nest on Chimeral Wetlands map in Act 3 of POE 2. In addition, since Xyclucian is the last challenge of Legacy of the Vaal main story quest, you won’t miss this encounter once you claim it.

How To Defeat Xyclucian?

Like most boss encounters in POE 2, only by knowing all of Xyclucian’s attacks in advance can you avoid them as effectively as possible and find opportunities to deal some lethal damage during the fight. Here are all of Xyclucian’s moves in this fight, as well as tips and strategies you can use.

Slam

This move is used in many boss encounters, but here Xyclucian doesn’t use his hands to do this, but instead slams his front legs, and the powerful shockwave is generated from this position.

Since Xyclucian will roar before slamming, you can use this time to move away from his front legs to avoid taking too much damage. The best place to cast damaging skills may be his back, because at this time, all his attention is on the front and he has no time to pay attention to the back area.

Ice Breath

As mentioned earlier, Xyclucian, The Chimera is a monster with three heads, and in Ice Breath you will see some ice spraying out of his right head, and it will cover some areas of the arena around where he is standing with this ice, which will cause continuous damage to you.

This attack has a large range of influence and the damage is also very deadly, so when you see his right head start to swing and prepare to spray some frost, please move away from where you are standing.

Not only that, but since this attack is homing, your character will need to be constantly on the move to avoid taking damage. You can try investing in some POE 2 Divine Orbs in gear that gives you a high buff to your movement speed or rolling dodge to increase their rarity and power.

Jump Slam

Here, the boss will jump into the air, then come down hard and deal massive damage where it lands. But be aware that it will not land in the same spot it took off from, so watch its path as you move to avoid damage.

Flamethrower

The right head of Xyclucian you just introduced will let you spit out some ice, while the middle head will spit out a wave of flames. Also note that the boss will swing his head back and forth during this attack, making the cone in front of him very dangerous.

When countering this move, in addition to ensuring your mobility, make sure your build is strong in fire resistance, as this elemental damage will be more powerful than the physical damage you have previously taken. While dodging, don’t forget to get behind the boss and do as much damage as possible.

Stone Pillar

When Xyclucian, The Chimera starts to go up, it means that it will fly to the top of a Stone Pillar in the arena and shoot some fireballs at you. In this case, the first thing you should do is definitely not to cause more damage to the boss itself, but to destroy the stone pillar it is standing on, because after the stone pillar collapses, Xyclucian will fall with it and will be very vulnerable for a few seconds, which is the best time to attack it.

Flying Flamethrower

In addition to Stone Pillar, Xyclucian will also perform Flying Flamethrower attack on you when it flies into the air: it will directly spray fire in a straight line towards the center of the arena, of course, this attack will also follow you.

So you can use the previous strategy and try to stay behind the boss, so that you can ensure that you are as little exposed to the fire with huge damage as possible.

Poison Lob

Xyclucian’s head can not only deal some damage to you but also his tail! You will see poison balls being fired from the boss’ tail in a cone-shaped pattern, causing poison damage in a small area when they land.

Due to the large number of poison balls fired and their high frequency, you will inevitably be hit by some of them, but make sure you don’t get hit by them continuously, because once the poison damage is stacked, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lightning Breath

For Xyclucian’s left head, you can’t underestimate it either, because it will fire some lightning balls at you, which will explode after a while. The best way to avoid these lightning balls is to let them explode in the air as much as possible instead of on you, so pay attention to the trajectory of these small balls and avoid them strategically.

Flying Slam

Compared to the previous Slam and Jump Slam, the landing damage caused by Flying Slam here will be higher and because the boss will disappear in the air for a second, it is difficult to judge where it will appear, though where it disappears.

Note that Xyclucian is invincible whenever he jumps, flies, or leaps, so avoid attacking him during these times, and try to minimize weapons or gear that deal damage over time during this encounter, as the invincibility will interrupt those effects.

Best Strategy

Since Xyclucian can deal cold, fire, and lightning damage to you, be sure to balance your resistances when building a build to challenge him, and focus on the one you are least vulnerable to.

In most cases, the boss’s back area is the safest place to be during this fight, as attacks like Flamethrower, Poison Lob, and Lightning Breath cannot hit him from behind, so you may need to stay in this safe area for a long time.

Once you have passed the above tests, you will have completed your encounter with Xyclucian, The Chimera, and will receive a notification to unlock Chimeral Inscribed Ultimatum of Trial of Chaos and complete Legacy of the Vaal main quest.

The above are some specific methods and strategies for finding and fighting against Xyclucian in the current POE 2 Early Access. I hope that with the help of this guide, you can complete this encounter as soon as possible and unlock the more challenging Trial of Chaos to get more loot from it. I wish you a happy game!

As you explore Path of Exile 2 Early Access, your builds may rely heavily on Uniques, as they can provide you with more buffs to traverse the game’s stages and deal with all the combat. The Thief’s Torment Emerald Ring in particular will help builds that focus on mana-based damage with greater effectiveness. In the early stages of POE 2, farming and POE 2 Currency may make it difficult to obtain this higher value ring, even though its drop rate is higher than other Uniques.

To ease the hassle of focusing on both XP farming and Uniques in the early stages of the game, this guide will provide you with some more effective ways to obtain Thief’s Torment Emerald Ring and some strategies you can use, as well as the specific effectiveness of this ring.

Effective Farming Methods

Since the Thief’s Torment Emerald Ring is essentially a Unique, the most common way to farm it is to defeat enemies and find it in the screen-full of loot. For this, you need to fight enemies at level 26 and above, so this means that your worst-case scenario is to get it in Act 3 on normal difficulty.

Although you can’t directly affect the drop rate of this item, don’t forget that you can increase the probability of Thief’s Torment Emerald Ring by increasing the overall drop rate and rarity of loot. Generally, you can get the stats for increasing item rarity from the gear in your build.

The advice here is to invest some POE 2 Divine Orbs in this type of gear before placing it in Items slot in your build to increase its own rarity or affixes so that you have a greater chance of getting more loot with great buffs in battle.

Additionally, activating Precursor Tablets with buffs such as increased loot quantity and increased rarity on towers in Atlas will give you more and rarer loot during your map runs. The same is true for Waystones, but you can only use modifiers that increase the difficulty of running maps on them.

The skill nodes on Atlas skill tree with the same buffs are also worth your attention, but be careful to obtain those with increased monster rarity or combat difficulty, because once your build cannot withstand such a difficult battle, all your previous investments will be wasted, which is not worth it.

Back to Thief’s Torment Emerald Ring. Another way to get it is to invest an Orb of Chance in a Normal Emerald Ring for gambling. However, this method is somewhat risky because you can’t be sure whether your somewhat valuable ring will become the Thief’s Torment Emerald Ring you want, Death Rush Emerald Ring, or be destroyed directly.

Rather than using Orb of Chance to obtain this Unique, you may be safer trading it directly with other players. While its value fluctuates frequently, it generally settles in around 40-50 POE 2 Exalted Orbs.

Thief’s Torment Emerald Ring’s Effect

Once you’ve obtained the invaluable Thief’s Torment Emerald Ring through the above methods, you can consider inserting it into a slot in your build. However, it should be noted that due to the unique modifiers on this ring, after you put it into the build, the other ring slot will be grayed out and unavailable.

The effects of any ring in this slot will not be counted towards the player’s attributes. This effect also applies to itself, which means that you cannot place 2 Thief’s Torment Emerald Rings in a build.

This seems like a huge debuff, doesn’t it? But in fact, Thief’s Torment Emerald Ring is the only item in POE 2 that allows players to restore their own mana when hitting an enemy, with 15 mana each time. This is very important for classes such as Sorceress and Witch who rely heavily on mana to deal with more elemental damage.

Items that restore mana or health after a kill are everywhere in POE 2, but they have the obvious disadvantage of not being useful in boss encounters, since you only need to defeat one enemy, unless the boss summons some small minions with low attack damage. In this comparison, Thief’s Torment Emerald Ring is much more effective in restoring mana for just one hit.

In addition to this most important buff, you also restore 25 health points per hit and increase resistance to all elemental damage by 10%-15%, which greatly enhances your survivability. On top of that, if a boss casts Curses on you, the ring also reduces the duration of the damage by 50%!

If you are using a build that specializes in ranged combat, Thief’s Torment Emerald Ring will also increase your accuracy rating by 120-160 during the cast of some ranged skills. With these powerful buffs, it’s not surprising to increase the effectiveness of the item rarity by 30%-40% during combat.

The above is the method to obtain Thief’s Torment Emerald Ring and its specific effectiveness in the current POE 2 Early Access. I hope that with the help of this guide, you can complete the farming of this item faster and more smoothly, and maximize its effectiveness in your construction. I wish you a happy game!

Path Of Exile 2 Early Access has received positive reviews from many players, including many loyal fans of the original game. In this game, the 6 basic classes provided to players all have their own play styles and advantages, and Warrior is a Strength-focused class that excels in dealing melee damage and relying on very high maximum health and armor for defense.

After you have selected the class you want to use in POE 2, you will start to make a build that best suits the current game situation. In Warrior build, you can easily get melee range damage, armor and Strength attribute gains from the huge passive skill tree, but if you want to more effectively play the advantages of this class in combat, then you have to choose some of the best skill gems for it.

Given the unique skill gems in the game that require you to find them during exploration, it’s hard to find the best skill gem for your Warrior build, as you need to make the right choice based on your current combat situation or farming requirements. But there are still many best skill gems for different situations waiting for you to use, and this guide will introduce them to you one by one.

1. Earthshatter (Level 7)

Requirements

• Character Level 22 And Above
• Character Strength Attribute Needs To Be 52 And Above
• Have A Mace Slot (One-Handed Or Two-Handed)

While Earthshatter itself is not an attack that can output super high damage, the ground spikes it generates can be combined with other heavy attack skills to make it explode, which causes damage that many enemies and even bosses cannot bear.

If you put an Upheaval in its auxiliary gem slot, although you see that the 98% base damage of this active skill is reduced, it will help Warrior create more spikes and provide another chance to hit, which will increase your overall damage by a lot!

When you combine these explosions with a higher-damaging slam skill like Leap Slam or Rolling Slam, your Warrior build will have a very strong clearing ability. You can also place this build equipped with this skill in some profitable maps to farm for POE 2 Currency or some special loot.

2. Rolling Slam (Level 1)

Requirement: Have A Mace Slot (One-Handed Or Two-Handed)

Rolling Slam is probably one of the most basic but effective active skills in Warrior - the initial slam will stun and knock back the enemy, and then you can slam it with higher damage, and this slam will move in the direction you control.

You can use it as a replacement for Leap Slam in the early exploration of POE 2, because it is also a very large buff to the mobility of the Warrior build, and the best part is that it is only a Level 1 skill gem that is very easy to get early on.

While the base damage of this Rolling Slam is strong, it’s best used in preparation for active skills like Boneshatter, which can deal extra damage to already stunned enemies with a heavy stun blast.

3. Sunder (Level 9)

Requirements

• Character Level 31 And Above
• Character Strength Attribute Needs To Be 72 And Above
• Have A Mace Slot (One-Handed Or Two-Handed)

Compared to the first two skills, Sunder is a more powerful melee slam skill that causes you to generate some rolling fissures, and then you hit these areas in sequence and deal prime area damage while moving. On top of that, enemies hit by the fissure will also release some shockwaves outwards, which will cause some damage to other enemies nearby.

Note that since the fissure rolls, the damage of this skill is not instantaneous, and you may have to wait a while before it hits distant enemies. While this may seem difficult to use against enemies that are moving and far away, you can maximize Sunder’s effectiveness by spending some POE 2 Divine Orbs on gear that greatly increases the accuracy or cooldown of this skill.

4. Boneshatter (Level 1)

Requirement: Have A Mace Slot (One-Handed Or Two-Handed)

As mentioned above, Boneshatter is the best helper for players who want a Warrior build that focuses on stun accumulation. It is very good at dealing an area damage and clearing monsters.

When Boneshatter hits an enemy that has accumulated enough stun from other skills that can cause stun effects, it will cause a heavy blow and release a shockwave that will deal 250% of the base damage in the area.

Because of this, builds using this skill can not only focus on stunning single targets but also be used to fight some difficult groups of enemies, which is very beneficial when you are farming POE 2 currency and the loot you need in some maps or battles with super rewards.

The above are the four best skill gems for Warrior builds in the current POE 2 Early Access. But again, each player’s exploration style and farming habits are different, so the time to obtain these skill gems will also be different. The best way is to use the most appropriate skill gems according to your current clearing or combat requirements, and then replace some no longer applicable skill gems when your currency is sufficient or the build is strong enough. I wish you a happy game!

As you explore the endgame of Path of Exile 2 Early Access, you may face many hard boss encounters, and Olroth, Origin of the Fall, is one of them. This boss is the undead commander in Kalguuran legends, and you can find him during this Expedition Logbook encounter in POE 2, and earn a lot of loot from the encounter with Olroth.

Given the difficulty of this encounter, this guide will provide you with specific methods for finding and defeating Olroth, Origin of the Fall, as well as some strategies for fighting it, so that you can complete this battle in the safest and fastest way.

Location

As you can see from the previous storyline, Olroth is trapped in a tomb. You can only unlock the tomb with Expedition Logbook maps at level 80 and above. You can obtain these logbooks through Expeditions encounters while exploring the Atlas of Worlds. Alternatively, you can obtain logbooks of a certain level from vendors or other players by spending some POE 2 currency.

Once you have an Expedition Logbook of the appropriate level, you need to bring it to Dannig, who can find it in your hideout. After making the delivery, you will find a skull icon on your map. Follow the path to find it. You will then find a tomb at the end of the path that you must use explosives to destroy.

This is actually the location of the arena where you fight Olroth, Origin of the Fall - Kalguuran Tomb, and after destroying the outer layer of rocks, you will see the entrance to this arena. Here is a reminder that you should not rush into the arena immediately. You should first check whether your build is strong enough at a safe checkpoint, or spend some POE 2 Divine Orbs to upgrade the rarity and affixes of the gear you have.

Combat Strategy

Among the many pinnacle bosses in POE 2, although Olroth has the lowest health (only about 8 million), his focus is the strongest, and all his skills rely on cold damage and freezing effects.

So bringing a Silver or Thawing Charm can effectively neutralize and reduce at least one cold or freezing effect caused by this boss to you, and those gears that can provide buffs to your movement speed are also worth your attention, because they will help you reduce some of the cold effects you cannot avoid.

In addition to these defensive gear, the best way to defeat it is to use its one-sided defense to fight it, such as Fire, Lightning, and Chaos damage that it cannot resist, which is easy for those Classes who are accustomed to using elemental damage.

However, for classes that focus on dealing physical damage with their own weapons, Olroth may have trouble dealing damage, as he has very solid armor that can only be broken to deal enough damage.

With Olroth’s strengths and weaknesses in mind, let’s break down the two phases of the fight. In the first phase, Olroth will use some melee attacks and cold effects to deal damage to you, with the artifact floating in the arena providing only very slight assistance.

During this phase, you should use evasive rolls as much as possible, which can effectively avoid his piercing attacks and quickly get rid of the cold ground effects he and his artifact leave on the ground. Also, try to stand on the opposite side of the arena from the artifact, which will give you more time to avoid Olroth’s attacks.

The first phase will end when you deal 5 million damage to Olroth, but he will stand up again and recover about 3 million health points, which will lead to the second phase. During this phase, the icy beams fired by the artifact become wider, and even cover large areas of the arena with frost after a single cast.

However, before the artifact casts this damaging skill, Olroth will shout Starfire!, so you can judge the direction in advance so that you have enough time to move away from the artifact and move to a safe location. At the same time, all of Olroth’s attacks in this phase are greatly enhanced, so be careful to dodge and roll.

In general, defeating Olroth, Origin of the Fall requires not only super damage capabilities in your build but also careful positioning: stay away from all the frozen ground effects brought by the artifact and the boss, which will greatly increase your combat experience.

Loot

After you successfully defeat Olroth, Origin of the Fall, you will receive a lot of loot, including a Book of Knowledge for Expedition passive tree and some random drops. Here are the specific names and functions of these drops.

• Heroic Tragedy Timeless Jewel: It converts the notable passive skills in its radius into other skills, depending on the number in the gem description.
• Keeper of the Arc Spiritbone Crown: It increases your armor and energy shield by 100%-150%, and you also receive 30% less damage.
• Olroth’s Resolve Ultimate Life Flask: It allows you to restore 920 health points over 3 seconds to keep you safe in battle.
• Olrovasara Torment Club: It increases your damage accuracy rating by 300-400, and when hitting an enemy, you gain maximum added lightning damage equal to the enemy’s strength, which lasts for 6 seconds, up to a total of 500.
• Svalinn Crucible Tower Shield: It will provide you with an increase of 100%-150% armor value, and the maximum block chance will also be reduced by 20%-10%.

The above is the specific method of unlocking and defeating Olroth, Origin of the Fall, an important pinnacle boss in the current endgame stage of POE 2. I hope you can complete this encounter smoothly and happily with the help of this guide and get all the final loot. I wish you a happy game!

As you explore Path of Exile 2 Early Access, you’ll be entertained by the main story in each act, in addition to the exciting combat, especially in Act 3. But behind these plots, there are many bosses waiting for you to challenge, such as Zicoatl, Warden of the Core.

This boss is the key to the main story of the entire Act 3, because before you can fully explore Jiquani’s Machinarium and Jiquani’s Sanctum, two missions that are very important to the explanation of the plot, you need to collect various power cores needed to advance the mission, and they are guarded by this boss.

Since Zicoatl can perform a variety of high-damage attacks on you, in order to reduce the number of times you die in this encounter, this guide will list all the attacks used by Zicoatl and how to deal with them, so that you can be fully prepared. Not only that, here we will introduce the specific location of this boss so that you can accurately find yourself and his arena on a very complex map.

Location Of Zicoatl, Warden Of The Core

Zicoatl is a boss located in Jiquani’s Sanctum. You can find two Medium Soul Cores in this area to activate this encounter. Because of the unique mechanics of refreshing the map in POE 2, the specific locations of these two important POE 2 Items are constantly changing, and you may need to spend some time and effort to find them.

Don’t be afraid that you will miss this encounter with Zicoatl, because as just mentioned, it is part of this Legacy of the Vaal main story questline, and you can’t ignore this enemy at all.

Another reminder is that before entering the arena, try to find the nearest checkpoint and interact with it, so that you can invest a lot of POE 2 Divine Orbs in the defense capabilities of your build, which may give you a greater chance of completing your fight with Zicoatl safely.

Zicoatl, Warden Of The Core’s Moves

Zicoatl, Warden of the Core, is a mostly stationary boss, but it has a rechargeable shield that protects it from some damage. If you don’t use damaging skills on this boss for a long time, its shield will continue to recharge and become increasingly difficult to break.

So, in addition to avoiding some of Zicoatl’s attacks, you also need to think about how to break his shield in order to deal substantial damage to him. Here are each of the attacks this boss uses and the strategies you can use.

Laser Field

Zicoatl will fire several parallel lasers in front of him, so you can move to the sides of the boss to avoid these lasers and find angles to use damaging skills on him.

Snake Pummel

Like most bosses, Zicoatl will summon some snakes that will repeatedly attack the area in front of him. Here you can also use the previous strategy of moving to the sides to avoid this attack, but pay attention to the direction of the snakes’ first attack, because their front is not necessarily in front of Zicoatl standing.

Laser Grid

Not only does the boss fire lasers, but the masks on the walls around the arena also fire some lasers, but they are not directed at you but at Zicoatl, who then fires lasers with more damage.

You may be confused by the beams filling the arena at the beginning of this move, but just focus on the light blue lines connecting the mask to the boss, as they carry more damage and you need to move and dodge accordingly.

Triangle Trap

During this move, you will see a red triangle appear around Zicoatl, which will charge up over a few seconds and then fire damaging shockwaves from three sides of itself at you. While the triangle is charging, you should move to any of the vertices to avoid those shockwaves, but also need to dodge the boss’s other normal attacks during this phase.

Laser Limbo

Unlike Laser Field, Zicoatl will fire a laser in front of itself, and it will cause damage as it moves, and will eventually stay in the arena to continue damaging you. Instead of simply moving to a designated safe zone, you’ll need to plan your movements based on the laser’s movement and stay away from it while it’s in the arena.

Laser Grid Rebound

Generally, when the lasers fired by Laser Grid reflect off the masks on the arena’s walls, they’ll fire some additional lasers at each other, which will create an intersecting laser grid around the arena, which you can identify by the very faint blue color.

This attack will repeat up to three times, so when you see the light blue laser line appear, dodge in time and deal some substantial damage to Zicoatl when the time is right.

Main Strategy

After understanding the main attack of Zicoatl, Warden of the Core, we can develop some corresponding strategies for this boss. For example, the main damage type of this boss is lightning, so you can spend more POE 2 Currency on your build to invest in lightning resistance to improve your survivability.

Among all the moves, Triangle Trap may be the most threatening attack of Zicoatl on you, because it can cause huge damage to you, or even kill you in one shot. The only way to counter it is to increase your flexibility in your build and accurately move to one vertex of this triangle to avoid the subsequent shockwave. In addition, the animation of this attack is relatively long, so this is also a good time to cause huge damage to Zicoatl.

Although each laser attack is displayed with a light blue line, this prompt may not be clear in the dark and mysterious battle scene of POE 2. So the advice here is to try to increase the brightness and contrast of your device in this battle so that you can easily distinguish the specific type of damage.

The above are the specific methods and strategies for finding and fighting Zicoatl, Warden of the Core in POE 2. After you successfully defeat him, you can obtain Large Soul Core, which is a very important item in Legacy of the Vaal quest, as well as a large amount of loot. I hope that you can complete this encounter more easily and safely with the help of this guide. I wish you a happy game!

When you are making your character build in Path of Exile 2, you will find a very important Jewels slot, which will provide huge gains in terms of attack and defense for your build. If you put Unique Jewels in it, the gains you get are even more powerful, and can even allow you to get through the extremely difficult endgame stage in the game easily.

Because of the powerful effect of Unique Jewels, it is also determined that it is not so easy to get. You can only get it by defeating the most difficult pinnacle endgame bosses. Most importantly, their drop rate is not too high. So this guide will introduce you to all Unique Jewels currently available to you in POE 2 Early Access and the specific methods of farming, so that you can quickly place these very useful gear in your build.

It is worth mentioning here that even if your build does not need the Unique Jewels you have, you can trade them with other players for more POE 2 Divine Orbs, so that you can more easily find gear and skills that suit your build. Without further ado, bring your patience, hard work and luck, and start our exploration!

All Unique Jewels

As just mentioned, to obtain these Unique Jewels you need to fight some pinnacle endgame bosses, but these bosses’ encounters require some conditions to unlock. One of the most important POE 2 Items is called Djinn Barya, which you can pick up from the bodies of defeated enemies and then enter different levels of trial rooms in Trial of Sekhemas.

There are currently ten Unique Jewels for you to find in POE 2. Here are the specific methods of obtaining them and their effectiveness. You can farm these jewels in a targeted and strategic way according to their effectiveness.

Against The Darkness Time-Lost Diamond

While in Trial of the Sekhemas, you can use some unique relics to add some debuffs to the Trial, making the fight against Zarokh, the Temporal, the final boss of Trial, more difficult. For this jewel, you need to use Desperate Alliance to modify the boss encounter, which increases the boss’s damage by 100% and reduces the damage taken by the boss by 75%.

In addition to the requirements of the unique relic, this boss encounter also requires you to use a Djinn Barya of level 75 or higher. These requirements mean that this encounter can be a very difficult one, so you can spend a lot of POE 2 Currency on defensive capabilities in your build before taking on it.

While this fight is very difficult, this jewel is guaranteed to appear. After you’ve gone through the trouble of picking it up and slotting it in, Small Passives and Notable Passives in a large area around it may provide you with some additional modifiers, usually related to some elemental resistances and maximum health.

Controlled Metamorphosis Diamond

This jewel will be found as loot from Breach pinnacle boss Xesht, We Who Are One in Difficulty 4. You need to use a Breachstone at the Realmgate to unlock this encounter, and you can craft one by collecting 300 Breach Stones.

Note that this Controlled Metamorphosis Diamond is only a random drop in this fight, so be prepared to farm this boss multiple times. Alternatively, you can also upgrade some passive nodes on Atlas Tree to increase the chance of these gear dropping.

After you insert it into the jewel slot of the passive skill tree, you will see a ring appear around it, and its size will change depending on the jewel you have. Controlled Metamorphosis Diamond will reduce all elemental and chaos resistances in your build by the percentage indicated by the modifier of this jewel.

From Nothing Diamond

This is also a Loot that requires you to challenge the boss in Difficulty 4 to get it. The boss you need to challenge here is Ritual pinnacle boss King in the Mists. You need to use an Audience With The King at the Realmgate to unlock this encounter. Complete Ritual encounter to get this important item.

Again, this jewel is also a random drop gear, so be patient and farm it. When you have it and place it in the jewel slot, this will create a radius around Keystone indicated in the jewel’s modifier, and From Nothing effect will be applied to this radius, which can allow you to reach some of the farthest Keystones on the skill tree and open up more build possibilities.

Heroic Tragedy Timeless Jewel

To get this jewel, you need to fight Expeditions pinnacle boss Olroth, Origin of the Fall in Difficulty 4. This encounter requires you to talk to Dannig in Hideout using Logbooks at Level 79 and above.

Once you slot Heroic Tragedy Timeless Jewel, you will notice that Keystones and Notable Passives in the jewel’s radius will change, depending on the passive node.

Megalomaniac Diamond

You will randomly get Megalomaniac Diamond from your fight with Delirium pinnacle boss Kosis, The Revelation in Difficulty 4. This requires you to use a Simulacrum at Realmgate to unlock it. You can collect 300 Simulacrum Splinters while exploring Delirium map to synthesize a Simulacrum.

This Megalomaniac Diamond is actually less powerful than the previous jewels, as it only grants you two or three Notable Passive Skills, but it’s a good choice if you’re just entering the endgame and don’t have enough POE 2 Currency to unlock more passive skills.

Prism Of Belief Diamond

This jewel is one of the trophies you get when you fight Arbiter of Ash in Difficulty 4, but be aware that it’s a rare spawn. You need to activate Ancient Crisis Fragment, Faded Crisis Fragment, and Weathered Crisis Fragment at Burning Monolith to start this fight.

When Prism of Belief Diamond is slotted into a jewel slot, it adds 1-3 levels to certain skills, which are specified in the jewel’s modifiers and are completely random and cannot be modified.

Adorned Diamond

You’ll find Adorned Diamonds randomly from the loot of the final boss of Trails of Chaos, Trialmaster, which requires you to use the Inscribed Ultimatum at level 75 and above with Cowardly Fate, Deadly Fate, and Victorious Fate.

This boss is easier to find than the one in Difficulty 4, although it takes more time and POE 2 currency to find the items to unlock the encounter. When it’s in your build, all of your Corrupted Magic Jewels are greatly improved, allowing you to cast more powerful effect damage on your enemies.

Grand Spectrum Emerald & Grand Spectrum Ruby & Grand Spectrum Sapphire

Compared to Against the Darkness Time-Lost Diamond, these three jewels only require you to fight the final boss of Trial of Sekhemas, and don’t require as many debuffs, but you still need to use Djinn Barya at level 75 and above to unlock this encounter. And, most importantly, all three jewels are random drops.

If your build really needs Spirit to deal more damage, my suggestion is to farm Grand Spectrum Emerald more in this encounter, because each jewel you place will increase your Spirit by 2%.

As for Grand Spectrum Ruby, it will increase your maximum health by 2%, which is very important for those Class builds that are good at ranged attacks but have poor survivability. As for Grand Spectrum Sapphire, it will increase all elemental resistances in your build by 4% to enhance your defensive capabilities.

The above are all the effects and specific farming methods of Unique Jewels in POE 2. I hope this guide can help you pick up these gears that are important to your build faster during the exploration process and maximize their effectiveness. I wish you a happy game!

As you run through maps in Path of Exile 2 Early Access, you can use Waystones that have been upgraded or have different modifiers to increase the difficulty of your exploration and obtain special rewards of higher quality. This mechanic also applies to Trial of Sekhemas, but here you need to spend POE 2 Items as Unique Relics.

These items will add some debuffs to the Trial of Sekhemas you are running to increase the difficulty of the fight against the final boss of Trial, Zarokh, the Temporal, but will reward you with special rewards that have significant benefits to your character. This guide will give you a detailed description of the types of Unique Relics and how to farm them to help you check the power of your build and DPS so that you can use them in the game.

All Unique Relics

There are 6 types of Unique Relics that you will encounter in the current POE 2 Early Access. It is important to note that all Unique Relics are onetime items, which means they will be destroyed after a single run, regardless of whether you have successfully completed Trial of Sekhemas or not.

Below are the names of the types of Unique Relics, the debuffs they add during the Trial, and the rewards they provide. You can choose these special offers based on your needs.

1. The Last Flame

This Relic will keep your maximum Honor at 1 in Trial of Sekhemas, which means that if you are hit by an enemy skill that damages Honor in Trial, you will most likely die. So you need to add some gear with strong Honor resistance to your build in such a Trial, and throw a lot of POE 2 Divine Orbs into it.

With the help of this Unique Relic, Zarokh will drop a Temporalis after you defeat it, which greatly reduces the cooldown of all spells of the wearer, allowing them to use their most powerful spells continuously without waiting for the timer.

2. The Peacemaker’s Draught

This is probably the most important debuff of all Unique Relics. It will leave you with no natural defense ability at all, and you can only rely on the armor or helmet gear in your build to achieve some very weak defense against Zarokh. This may require you to be extremely mobile and flexible so that you can avoid all attacks from this final boss in time.

If you defeat Zarokh in this difficult of Trial of Sekhemas, the number of Djinn Barya you get will increase significantly, which is the exclusive POE 2 Currency in this trial.

3. The Burden of Leadership

Although POE 2 has a unique map refresh mechanism, which allows you to have a very fresh gaming experience when exploring the same map at different times. However, this mechanism does not apply to Trial of Sekhemas, so if you farm in this trial many times, you can easily find a suitable place to farm POE 2 currency or Uniques.

But if you invest in The Burden of Leadership in this trial, it will make all the rooms on your Trial Map unknown, which will not only give you a very fresh exploration experience but also allow you to learn more strategies and skills to fight against enemies. After you successfully defeat the final Boss, you will find Sekhema’s Resolve in the drops.

4. The Remembered Tales

During your Trial of Sekhemas run, you can get some Boons after clearing each room, which is a buff against enemies you have in the next room. But in Trial with this Unique Relic, you will not be able to get Boons, so the difficulty of your battles in subsequent higher-level rooms will be greatly increased.

But fortunately, you can get Blessed Bonds after successfully defeating Zarokh, the Temporal, which will cause elemental exposure based on critical hits and status effects, and help you increase energy shield and dodge levels.

5. The Changing Seasons

The Last Flame just introduced will keep your maximum Honor at 1 throughout the trial, and this one will prevent you from restoring Honor in it. Once you suffer Honor damage, your Honor will become less and less, which will also greatly reduce your chances of survival in the trial.

In this case, Sandstorm Visage you get from the final boss might make the hard fight worth it, as it increases your maximum Energy Shield by 80-120, and Dexterity by 20-30.

6. The Desperate Alliance

The previous few are for debuffs throughout Trial, but this Unique Relic is for Zarokh, increasing the boss’s damage by 100% and reducing the damage it takes by 75%, which should make this already difficult boss encounter even more challenging.

But I think the final reward of Against the Darkness will balance it out a bit. When you place it in the jewel slot in your build, Small and Notable Passives around it will gain some additional modifiers.

How To Get Unique Relics?

Currently, there are two ways to get Unique Relics in POE 2. One is to defeat Zarokh, the Temporal, and find it from its loot during the regular run of Trial of Sekhemas. But it should be noted that you need a Djinn Barya of level 75 or above to invest in it.

The other way is to get it directly from the trading market in the game and other players using POE 2 Divine Orbs. It is worth reminding you that no matter which method you use, you may need to spend a lot of time and energy to cultivate, so please be mentally prepared.

The above is the specific role and acquisition method of Unique Relics in POE 2. I hope you can have a better experience in exploring trials and get better special rewards with their help. I wish you a happy game!

Path of Exile 2 has been in Early Access for several months now. After a period of freshness, players have begun to study the best routes, maps and bosses to farm in it, because the game only provides players with which bosses can provide some unique rewards, but does not clearly explain how to farm them repeatedly.

There are currently multiple ways to farm bosses in POE 2, the most common of which is to reset the instance and use new waypoints. For Console players, hold down the button to move to a new map, while PC players need to choose to hold down Shift key and click to create a new area copy when selecting the map icon or map transition.

However, if your build is not strong enough, or the level is not high enough, using a new waypoint to re-run the map that was easy to pass before and challenge the bosses you are familiar with again is also a more effective way to farm. When you enter the endgame stage, you can use the waypoint device, which is where the opportunity to farm bosses and Uniques appears.

After understanding the specific methods of farming, you can start to consider the bosses you want to farm. Given that there are many bosses in POE 2 that provide you with challenges, this guide will introduce you to some of the most worthy types of bosses and specific bosses in the game to facilitate your exploration.

1. Some Accessible Minor Bosses

When you start to have the awareness of farming bosses, you should start this operation from those maps that are easier to pass, preferably those maps with accessible minor bosses. In this way, you can easily upgrade when you re-run this familiar map and obtain skill gems, auxiliary gems, gear and POE 2 Currency as loot.

These minor bosses actually appear on many maps, such as Executioner in Ogham Village, Kabala Constrictor Queen in Keth, and Mighty Silverfist in Jungle Ruins. You can try to farm them.

2. Bosses In Each Act

Compared to the small bosses in previous maps, the bosses in each act of POE 2 game content will give you a higher chance of getting more and higher quality loot, but the efficiency of farming them is not clear because there is no clear loot list for such bosses in the game.

So if your build is strong enough and can clear the last map and boss faster than the previous maps in Act, then your farming efficiency is high. If you can’t meet this condition, you can try to invest a lot of POE 2 Divine Orbs in the clearing efficiency of your build first, and then farm, which may make your farming process easier.

Since POE 2 Early Access only provides players with three acts of game content, such bosses will appear in the current game’s Ogham Manor, Dreadnought Vanguard and The Black Chambers, and the gems and gear provided to you here are of higher levels.

Note that when you reach the endgame, you will need to farm the pinnacle versions of these bosses in Citadels, which will reward you with fragments that unlock the encounter against Arbiter of Ash.

3. The King In The Mists

While this boss from Freythorn side quest in Act 1 provides you with good loot here, its endgame version is more worth farming because it offers more potential Uniques, such as Beetlebite Velour, Ingenuity, and The Burden of Shadows.

The ritual altars you encounter in Freythorn will also appear randomly in the harder endgame maps, and completing them will earn you POE 2 currency to unlock an item called An Audience With The King. You can place it in Realmgate in Atlas to trigger your fight against the pinnacle version of The King In The Mists.

As with all endgame bosses in POE 2, you can also increase the difficulty of the entire fight by modifying the points on Atlas skill tree passive. Of course, as the difficulty increases, the chances of getting better Uniques, such as Pragmatism and From Nothing, also increase.

4. Olroth, Origin Of The Fall

When you enter the endgame of POE 2, you will use Waystones of different levels or with different mechanisms to unlock those maps so that your character can face distinct challenges. Olroth is the boss that appears in those maps with Expeditions.

But it should be noted that it is difficult to cultivate it on the map, because its appearance is completely random, and you can only start the battle with it when you meet an NPC named Dannig. Dannig is responsible for the expedition log in the game. You can find its whereabouts in your hideout to check your exploration progress.

After you start the expedition with a log of level 79 or above, there is a chance to generate an encounter between you and Olroth. At this time, a skull mark will appear on your map, which means you need to dig or cultivate it.

Normally, it will reward you with gear such as Keeper of the Ark, Olrovasara, Svalinn Crucible Tower Shield, Heroic Tragedy, and Olroth’s Resolve, but unlocking a map with this encounter with more modifiers or higher-level Waystones may reward you with better loot, which requires your own exploration.

5. Trialmaster

If you want to get more loot in a single battle in POE 2, try Trials, which is probably a more efficient endgame activity to farm. When you start the endgame version of Trials of Chaos with an Inscribed Ultimatum at level 75 and above, you will encounter a battle between you and Trialmaster.

This boss requires you to pick up 3 fate fragments in the battle with the mini-boss in the tenth trial to open it, which will give you a chance to get any boss-related Uniques, such as Glimpse of Chaos, Hateforge, Mahuxotl’s Machination, The Adorned, and Zerphi’s Genesis, as well as some Vaal loot obtained in trials, which is more valuable than previous farming.

The above are the 5 most worthwhile bosses to farm in the current POE 2 Early Access. You can choose the boss you want to farm based on the strength of your build or your game style. I hope that after understanding the principles and methods of farming bosses in the game, you can complete these operations more easily and maximize their effectiveness. I wish you a happy game!

In Path of Exile 2 Early Access that has swept the world some time ago, there are many boss encounters for you to challenge. Some enemies are overshadowed by many of the bosses from the original game, and some are harder to fight than the original game’s final boss, with Viper Napuatzi being the most classic example.

Viper Napuatzi is a boss at the end of Act 3 and is also a prerequisite for you to unlock the encounters with Aggorat and Doryani. Because of its very high elemental resistance and multiple Chaos-based attack moves, it has become one of the most tough bosses in your POE 2 campaign.

To help you die less in battle with Viper Napuatzi, this guide will provide you with detailed information on the encounter with Viper Napuatzi from three aspects: pre-battle preparation, in-battle strategy, and post-battle rewards, allowing you to enter Aggorat faster and explore more.

Pre-Battle Preparation

First, let’s take a look at where you’ll find Viper Napuatzi. In Act 3 of POE 2, you’ll receive a Legacy of the Vaal quest that will have you explore Utzaal, the area where you and Viper Napuatzi’s arena are located. Note that this battle area is level 43, which means you should be level 50 or above before fighting this boss.

Given that most of Viper Napuatzi’s attacks will cause Chaos damage, you’ll need to choose some skills or passive skills for your character that have resistance to this type of element. For example, you can activate Chaos Inoculation on your POE 2 passive skill tree, which will protect you from all this elemental damage.

However, your health will pay for this, so you may want to invest more POE 2 Currency in Energy Shield value in your build to keep you safe. For active skills, you can try to choose Spark or Lightning Arrow, which can form a better attribute stack and will effectively help you complete this battle.

Skills like Tempest Bell and Frost Wall are also useful during your fight with Viper Napuatzi, as they can pin the boss in one place, making it easier for you to use your subsequent attacks. In fact, you can also gain a permanent 10% Chaos Resistance by completing The Slithering Dead quest, but some of the battles in the quest can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

So the easiest way to improve your character’s defense is to put some of these Uniques in your build, such as Serpent’s Egg, Oaksworn Sigil Crest Shield, Snakebite, Ghostwrithe, and Amethyst Ring, which will allow you to complete this encounter in a safer state. Alternatively, you can equip Antidote Charm to gain temporary poison immunity after Viper Napuatzi casts poison damage.

In addition, this encounter takes place in an arena that gradually shrinks over time, so the movement speed in your build should be kept at a high level to avoid all of Viper Napuatzi’s attacks in the small arena effectively. Again, the easiest way to achieve this is to invest a lot of POE 2 Divine Orbs in your boots or other mobility gear to make them higher in rarity or quality.

This range of arenas combined with no other monsters spawning will cause your Flask Charges to drain very quickly, so you can install Gains # Charges Per Second mod on it, which will give you an outstanding quality of life in POE 2.

In-Battle Strategy

Currently in the game, Viper Napuatzi has two types of attacks: Spear Attacks and Unarmed Attacks. It should be noted that since the space of this arena is very limited and will shrink over time, most attacks are very difficult to dodge. But don’t worry too much, here will introduce you to all the attacks used by Viper Napuatzi, as well as some strategies that can be used in actual combat.

Spear Attacks

This is the combat used when you and this boss first fight, and it will switch to Unarmed Stance after 80% of its health is left, and finally switch back to Spear Stance when the remaining health is about 10%.

• Spear Throw: Viper Napuatzi will throw a spear with poison damage to you. You can judge the final landing position by its throwing direction, and then dodge in any direction.
• Lightning Spear: The boss’s spear will split into four lightning projectiles and then shoot at you, and will also bounce off walls, so you should avoid standing near walls so that you can dodge the erratic projectiles by sideways.
• Melee Combo: When you are close to Viper Napuatzi, it will launch a melee combo three times, and you will see a poison cloud in the air after the attack ends. If you touch it, you will suffer a lot of poison damage. So avoiding this, you can dodge backwards twice and then roll in any direction.
• Forward Dash: In this attack, the boss will dash forward in a straight line and spray poison in the path to cause area damage. Here, just roll in any direction to dodge.

Unarmed Attacks

If you can't rely on Viper Napuatzi's health reaching around 80% to tell when it's about to enter Unarmed Attacks, you can also tell when it's about to switch attack types by seeing it thrust its spear into the ground.

• Meteors: During this phase, Viper Napuatzi summons meteors, a boss helper that explodes on impact and deals with fire and chaos damage. Keep an eye out for the red and purple circles in the arena and stay away from them.
• Slam Attack: The boss will jump into the air and slam the ground, creating a range that deals heavy damage. So when you see him fly into the air, roll back to avoid that slam.
• Snakes: In addition to meteors, Viper Napuatzi summons snakes that wander around the arena and bounce off the walls. The main damage type of these snakes is also chaos damage, so you’ll want to stay away from walls and stay as close to the center of the arena as possible to avoid other attacks that combine with them and kill you.
• Poison Darts: In this move, the boss will directly lock onto you and fire a barrage of poisonous projectiles at you, ending with it throwing multiple projectiles in a cone. Although the best direction to dodge this attack is also in any direction, roll towards the boss at the end of the attack because the projectile damage range is away from the boss.
• Spear Thrust: During this attack, be careful of the soldiers around the arena. Whenever you see their spears glow, it means they will thrust, dodge in any direction. At the end of this attack, all soldiers will perform this attack. Ideally, you will dodge when you see the spears glow green, but this requires you to be very agile.

Post-Battle Rewards

Like most of the quest bosses in POE 2, there will be no exclusive drops after you defeat Viper Napuatzi, but some POE 2 Currency and items obtained from the loots are also very useful. Additionally, after you complete this encounter, your quest log will be updated, and you can then head to Aggorat to fight Doryani, the final boss of Act 3.

That’s it for how and some strategies you can use to defeat Viper Napuatzi Boss in the current POE 2 Early Access. Hopefully, with the help of this guide, you can better explore Act 3 in this sequel, and successfully unlock the subsequent more challenging Cruel difficulty or endgame stages. Have fun!

The highly anticipated Path of Exile 2 has some familiar league mechanisms for old players, as well as many new game contents, which make players very satisfied with this sequel. But we have to admit that the game difficulty in POE 2 is a little higher than the original, and even more challenging than most other action role-playing games.

These challenges are not only reflected in the battles in the game but also in the build of Class. Ranger is the most popular Class in POE 2 Early Access, and its build ideas are also very complicated, especially for the choice of skill gems and support gems, which is very important for your early exploration.

If you are struggling with the complicated skill gem interface of Ranger, it is better to copy the best skills and support gems introduced in this guide directly. This will not only reduce the time and energy cost you spend on build but also allow you to explore the three acts of the game content smoothly in Early Access and pass the level quickly.

Lightning Arrow

Lightning Arrow gem is easily found when you enter the first area in POE 2, and it is also one of your main damage skills in the early game. Lightning Arrow converts some of your physical damage into lightning damage, and then chains this damage effect to other enemies near the target enemy, eventually causing a large area of ​​chain lightning damage.

Not only that, after using Martial Tempo support gem on Lightning Arrow, it also increases your current skill’s attack speed by 25%, allowing you to deal continuous damage to enemies while moving quickly. In addition, it can also increase your DPS and offset the damage reduction you get from some Heavy Ammunition, making Ranger more survivable.

For Pierce, it not only allows your Lightning Arrow to penetrate enemies but also causes chain group damage, which is very useful when you face a large group of enemies. On top of that, you can pick up a lot of POE2 Currency and loot from the corpses of these monsters.

Lightning Rod

You can use Lightning Rod as a force multiplier for Lightning Arrow, making it a very powerful double whammy in your Ranger build. When you use Lightning Rod, you’ll see an arrow shoot out of your bow and pierce the ground, creating a circle of lightning on the ground. Any chain lightning effects in this area will directly deal lightning damage to enemies.

So when these two skills are combined, they can create a very lethal arena. If you equip Scattershot on your build as a support gem for Lightning Rod, the number of arrows you can fire will be increased to 3, although at the expense of 20% reduced damage and 20% reduced attack speed.

However, you don’t have to worry too much about it, because Primal Armament can increase the elemental damage of Lightning Rod by more than 25%, which will make Ranger a multi-faceted class that can cope with various combat situations. Alternatively, you could use some POE 2 Chaos Orb early in the game to add a modifier to your Magic or Rare defensive gear, perhaps making it more survivable when using a Lightning Rod.

Escape Shot

When you explore some of the game content in POE 2 Early Access, you will definitely encounter numerous group enemies surrounding you and attacking you from all directions, so at this time you need the skill of Escape Shot with group damage ability to help you easily solve this problem.

When you cast this skill, you will first jump into the air and away from the beetles or skeletons that besiege you, then you will freeze them in place and create a frozen ground, so that you can cast various damage skills on them in a safe state.

If you install Holy Descent in the slot of the support gem provided by this skill, you will also create a small area when you land, where you can restore the health you just lost, which will be more useful than using restorative Items such as flasks or potions.

Besides this restorative support gem, you can also install Frost Nexus, which can increase your freezing time for up to 4 seconds. This will help you have more time to deal with high damage values, to end this complex battle quickly.

Herald Of Thunder

After you successfully pass Act 1 and defeat King in the Mists, you will unlock the first spirit gem of the game. This has different uses for different classes, as each class requires unique skills. For Ranger, you can use it to obtain Herald of Thunder.

When you defeat those enemies affected by Shock effect, this gem will cause additional damage to the remaining enemies as lightning raining from the sky, which will reduce the pressure of fighting these enemies. So when choosing a support gem for it, you also need to focus on the ability to increase damage.

Although the description of Lightning Infusion in the game can be confusing, believe me, the lightning damage that you care about most when using Ranger is enhanced, and the damage of the two elements of cold and fire is of little use in this build.

You can also choose Innervate, which can increase the lightning attack damage of this skill by 35% for 3 seconds, which is a temporary buff to add a layer of damage you deal to the enemy. This will allow you to earn the final POE 2 currency and more rewards faster.

Freezing Salvo

As you explore deeper in POE 2, you will unlock new skill gems after reaching level 12, including Freezing Salvo. You can use it as an additional source of damage for your Ranger, but it should be noted that this skill has a charging cooldown - accumulating energy within ten seconds before casting a full-strength attack.

Here, support gems such as Hourglass that can reduce skill cooldowns are particularly important, not to mention that it can also increase damage by 40%. You can also place Cold Infusion in the slot, which will increase the cold damage caused by Freezing Salvo by 25%, and have more group damage capabilities.

These are some of the skill gems and supporting gems you can choose for Ranger in POE 2 Early Access. Of course, you can also adjust them according to your game style. I hope you can help your character pass all the difficult game content smoothly with their help, and feel unprecedented game fun from it. I wish you a happy game!
