Path of Exile 2 News

Path of Exile 2 Early Access has already brought a variety of professions to everyone in the early access version. These professions not only have iconic weapons, but also have gems with unique skills. And the official also said that more classes will be brought to everyone in the future updates, which makes players very happy and look forward to the emergence of new classes.

Introducing new classes and unlimited construction potential for players based on the voice of players makes it stand out from many games. However, players still need to be aware that each class is not perfect, and it is very difficult to get the class you want. Players need to obtain a sufficient number of POE 2 Divine Orbs in advance through various means, such as defeating bosses and trading with players, so that they can have a higher chance of survival in the war.

For example, some players believe that melee classes are inherently at a disadvantage because of their nature of having to face difficulties, but casters and bow or crossbow users can attack enemies from a distance. This also reflects, to a certain extent, the low usage rate of Acolyte of Chayula in terms of player usage.

Acolyte Of Chayula Is Seriously Underestimated

In fact, Acolyte of Chayula is an incomplete class, because it focuses on Chaos Damage, which requires it to be obtained through Essence Drain or Poison builds, but often fails due to the lack of key skills of Daggers and Spear weapon Skill Gems. Moreover, in POE 2, this special Ascendancy has multiple layers of defense to help players resist bosses and Waystones to the greatest extent.

A huge feature of Chayula's Gift is that it can make Chaos Resistance one of the most powerful sets of characters alone, which is very powerful for non-Chaos Inoculation builds. Moreover, Walking Dream's Into Breach skill is also an extremely powerful tool. Not only does it not limit players to specific builds, but it can also provide players with additional sustainability, which is very important for players entering the end game.

The weakest part of Acolyte of Chayula is to embrace Darkness and its follow-up nodes, mainly because Spirit is too powerful to give up. In general, although players have their own choices, it is a pity that Acolyte of Chayula has not been used more frequently. After all, it is well designed by the developers and can bring many choices to players.

Do Ladders Reveal The Best And Worst Classes?

Because Ladders are based on player experience, many of the highest rankings are obtained by players with the most experience. Although the previous Ladders cannot show players the whole situation, they still reflect the worst class of the players at that time.

Whether it is the usage rate of Standard Ladder or Hardcore Ladder, Acolyte of Chayula is far behind other classes. For example, Stormweaver's Standard Ladder is as high as 43.4%, while Acolyte of Chayula is only 0.7%.

These numbers reflect the advantages and disadvantages of certain classes to a certain extent. For example, although Invoker is a melee class, it is usually one of the most commonly used classes in both ladders because of its multi-layered defense and strong destructive potential with elemental damage.

Another interesting example is that Infernalist is more popular in Hardcore. Because in the game, their use affects the effects of certain Ascendancies. Therefore, in Hardcore, players are more inclined to use it. However, some professions, such as Witchhunter, Acolyte of Chayula, and Warbringer, are overshadowed in these two ladders.

Indeed, each class has advantages and disadvantages, but I also hope that players will not stick to the existing game methods. Maybe by trying more classes, you will find their hidden potential!

In many games, there is a “death penalty” mechanism. When you die, you lose something, which makes players try to avoid death as much as possible. In action loot games like Path of Exile 2, the death penalty has a great impact on players.

If you die in the campaign, you can immediately respawn at the nearest checkpoint. Or if you are exploring the end-game map, you will return to Ziggurat Refuge.

Death Consequences

When you die in the campaign and brutal difficulty, the enemies on the map will only reset, and new rare items will spawn. The layout of the map itself will not change. As long as you clear the enemies again, you can return to the place where you died. This is somewhat similar to Souls game.

However, the enemy reset on the map will cause all the drops on the map to disappear. If you and the boss die together, the boss will be considered dead, and all the items dropped on your screen will disappear, and you can’t get them back even if you go back.

The same mechanism also applies to bosses that reward permanent attribute upgrades. If you die with King in the Mists, you will not be able to obtain Spirit-boosting consumables and will need to start over and kill King in the Mists again.

You must be very careful to avoid death effects and enemies that spawn after killing a boss, so as not to lose powerful items that may drop after your death. If you see a POE 2 currency like Regal Orb, a high-tier Waystone, a Unique, or even a Divine Orb or Mirror of Kalandra among the boss’s drops after you die, you will regret it.

Also, in Hardcore, if your character dies, you will be forced to go to the standard realm and will no longer be able to participate in Hardcore mode. It is almost a “permadeath”.

Resetting Trials

Dying in the middle of a Trial is even more frustrating. If you die in Trial of the Sekhemas or the Trial of Chaos, Trial will be restarted from the beginning.

In Trial of the Sekhemas, as long as your Honor is not depleted, you have one more chance and enemies in the scene will respawn. However, once your Honor is depleted, you will fail Trial even if you don’t die.

Death in Trial of Chaos is particularly cruel, and it will all go back to square one. So you’d better be fully prepared before participating in Trial.

Endgame

In the endgame, after you complete the campaign and enter Atlas system, each death will have a new negative impact. If you die while unlocking Atlas map, you will lose 10% of the maximum XP 10%. If you only have 9% progress in your current XP bar, you will lose all your XP. This makes death in the endgame particularly frustrating.

Dying on the map will also destroy your Waystone. If you die too many times on this map, you will have to insert new Waystones to enter the map again.

The death penalty in Path of Exile 2 is very heavy, and players must be fully prepared before exploring the map.

Recovering HP is very important if you want to prolong the fight with the boss in Path of Exile 2. Players can recover HP through passive regeneration and life leech, but for now, the best way is to use Life Flasks.

It is very difficult to obtain Olroth's Resolve Ultimate Life Flask, which requires players to invest a lot of time and energy, and be prepared to get nothing.

How To Obtain?

In fact, Olroth's Resolve Ultimate Life Flasks is an exclusive drop from Expeditions pinnacle boss. Players who want to obtain it must fight the boss. However, as the ultimate boss, it is not so easy to be defeated. Players need to kill other bosses in advance, obtain the dropped POE 2 Currency and loot to accumulate combat experience and upgrade equipment. In short, players should be prepared to fight a hard battle with it.

However, Olroth is difficult to encounter, as he can only be encountered in Level 79+ Expedition Logbook runs, and his appearance is very random. Fortunately, his spawn rate is high, and almost all Level 79+ Logbooks contain this boss fight.

After the game, players can obtain Expedition Logbooks as a rare drop item on Expeditions maps. Once you have a Logbook of the appropriate level, you can talk to Dannig in the hideout and select ''Show Expeditions Map'', enter Logbook and you can access the generated map.

However, players should note that Dannig will only appear in your hideout after encountering him in Expedition map in Atlas. Players can increase Logbook level through Expeditions Atlas Tree, and only defeating Olroth in a more difficult Logbook will earn Expedition Points.

The Reason Why Olroth's Resolve Ultimate Life Flask Performs Well

In fact, it is mainly because it has the ability of Instant Recovery, which can help players execute according to the expected plan. Moreover, after pressing the activation button, the function of restoring life can be used immediately, which saves players a lot of combat time. Moreover, its Instant Recovery ability is even better than the continuous recovery ability, so it is favored by many players.

Secondly, if players use the charging function of Life Flask before the battle, they will get a layer of 920 protection, which can help players better deal with one-shot mechanics and on-death effects, otherwise they will definitely lose their lives.

Therefore, if players want to recovery their HP in the future, they can try to use Olroth's Resolve Ultimate Life Flask. Although the acquisition process is more difficult, as long as it can increase the player's HP, what does it matter?

As an important part of a complete build in POE 2, jewels are very important, not to mention the value of Unique Jewels. However, it seems that players only have the opportunity to obtain Unique Jewels when fighting against high-difficulty bosses in the final game, and the overall probability is very small.

Although fighting against the peak boss is a very difficult and cruel thing, many players have invested a lot of time and energy to obtain Unique Jewels. After all, who doesn't want to get Unique Jewels? Even if it is not very useful for your own build, you can still sell it and get POE 2 Divine Orbs. Isn't this a good way to make money?

So there are no other ways for players to get Unique Jewels? Next, we will introduce several methods of Unique Jewels and how to obtain them. However, players need to pay attention to the fact that most unique gems are randomly dropped after defeating the boss, so check them in time!

1. Adorned Diamond

To defeat the boss, players need to use Level 75+ Inscribed Ultimatum with Cowardly Fate, Deadly Fate, and Victorious Fate. After successfully defeating the boss, the gem will randomly drop from Trialmaster, the final Trails of Chaos boss.

2. Grand Spectrum Emerald, Grand Spectrum Ruby, And Grand Spectrum Sapphire

The way to get these three unique jewels is the same. Players need to have a Level 75+ Elf Baria to fight the boss. After successfully defeating the boss, it will randomly drop from the 4th floor boss of Sekhemas Trial, Zarokh, Temporal.

3. Prism Of Belief Diamond

Players need to activate Ancient Crisis Fragment, Faded Crisis Fragment, and Weathered Crisis Fragment at  Burning Monolith to kill Arbiter of Ash, the most difficult boss at level 4.

4. Megalomaniac Diamond

This gem is dropped by Kosis, Revelation, Delirium pinnacle boss. Players can kill it by using Simulacrum at Realmgate.

5. Controlled Metamorphosis Diamond

The pinnacle boss Xesht, We Who Are One will drop this unique gem for players. When players are unable to defeat her, they can try to use a Breachstone at Realmgate to help players speed up the game process appropriately.

Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned unique gems, there are also Against Darkness Time-Lost Diamond and Controlled Metamorphosis Diamond. Players can try to defeat the boss in other ways to obtain them. However, it is still important to note that you should not fight the boss blindly, otherwise not only will you fail to kill them successfully, but it will also lower the overall game experience.
