Path of Exile 2's "Ancient Vows" quest: A cryptic guide to completing this challenging task. While Path of Exile 2's storyline may lack the depth of The Witcher 3, its side quests, such as "Ancient Vows," offer intriguing puzzles. This quest, while seemingly simple, often stumps players due to its vague instructions. This guide will help you overcome this challenge.
Unlike many PoE2 quests which involve straightforward boss battles at specific locations, "Ancient Vows" lacks precise directions. The quest begins after obtaining either the Sun Clan Relic (Bone Pits) or the Kabala Clan Relic (Keth). Locating these relics requires thorough exploration and combat within these treacherous areas, as they are randomly dropped by enemies.
Once a relic is acquired, your journey continues to the Valley of the Titans. Precise coordinates are impossible to give due to the game's randomly generated maps. However, seek out a waypoint; a large statue with an altar will be nearby. Place the relic on the altar by dragging and dropping it into the slot.
Quest Rewards:
Upon completion, you choose between two passive effects:
- 30% increased Charm Charge gain
- 15% increased Mana recovery from Flasks
Should you change your mind, you can return to the altar to switch effects. Be aware that this requires returning to the potentially dangerous area.
While initially underwhelming, these rewards significantly impact survivability, especially during boss fights. The increased Charm Charge gain extends the duration of defensive Charms, while increased Mana recovery is beneficial if your Mana Flask frequently depletes.
This guide should assist in completing the "Ancient Vows" quest in Path of Exile 2.
