With the hot launch of Path of Exile 2 early access on December 6, it has also set off a new wave of enthusiasm among the players of MMO games. As a wonderful sequel to the first game, POE 2 not only continues with some wonderful traditions but also adds more new content for everyone to play.
In fact, if you are playing POE 2 early access, you will definitely find that it provides you with a lot of quests to complete. Although completing them requires a lot of time and effort, they can also allow you to get lots of POE 2 Currency as rewards by killing the quest boss-depending on the level of the enemy you kill.
Based on this, we first selected the two quests of Ancient Vows and Secrets In The Dark. By introducing you to the specific operations and methods of completing them, while helping you complete them, it also inspires you to explore ideas for completing more quests on your own.
Ancient Vows Quest
If you’ve made it to Act 2 in Path of Exile 2, you may have found some relics in the desert, but you may not know what they do. These relics are the main items that help you complete Ancient Vows quest.
Most quests in POE 2 can be summed up as asking you to go somewhere and do something simple, and the same is true for Ancient Vows. Although Ancient Vows is not difficult to complete, the game’s related prompts are vague, you may not have a clear idea of how to solve it. So we’re here to help you.
How To Complete Ancient Vows Quest?
Ancient Vows quest officially begins when you get Sun Clan or Kabala Clan relics in Bone Pits and Keth, respectively. First you need to take Sun Clan and Kabala Clan relics away and place them on a special pedestal in Valley of the Titans.
Normally, when you clear enemies in Bone Pits and Keth locations, there will be a random chance that the required relics will drop besides the regular Path Of Exile 2 Currency. You’ll get at least one of these while doing the main quests associated with these areas.
Be aware, however, that the enemies in Act II are extremely deadly and can cause your character to die frequently, delaying your quest if you’re not fully prepared. However, as long as you keep the basics in mind and equip some decent POE 2 Items, you should be able to get through these areas with ease.
If you reach Valley of the Titans, you’ll need to explore the map until you see a waypoint for the area. Once you’ve found the waypoint, search the surroundings to find an altar located in front of a gigantic statue. Once you’ve highlighted the relic slot, drag and drop the relic onto the altar like you would an item to complete this quest.
What Rewards Does Ancient Vows Offer?
The rewards for this quest are two passive effects. While you can’t use both of them, you can switch between them freely by visiting an altar:
- Increases charm charges by 30%.
- Increases mana recovery from flasks by 15%.
The charm system can enhance your defense, but in POE 2 it needs to be recharged from time to time, and the bonus of Ancient Vows can help you recharge charms even in difficult encounters. If you are using a mana-consuming class like Mercenary, the mana regeneration increase bonus of flasks can improve your quality of life.
Secrets In The Dark
To complete Secrets In The Dark quest, you need to travel through three areas and investigate what happened when Count Geonor went crazy. These three areas are Clearfell, Grelwood, and Red Vale. Based on this, here is our detailed guide for you.
How To Get To Clearfell?
Secrets In The Dark quest actually starts with you talking to Una in Clearfell camp. Una tells you that all the crazy things started when Count Geonor took his men to Grelwood, so she asks you to go there to look for clues. This means that to get to Grelwood, you have to go through Clearfell. Fortunately, Clearfell is just behind the safe zone.
While the maps in Path of Exile 2 are randomized, the map for Clearfell never changes. Once you enter Clearfell and continue northeast, you’ll find the entrance to Grelwood.
How To Get Through Grelwood?
Once you enter Grelwood, your quest objective will change to searching Grelwood for evidence of Count Geonor’s activities. Since Grelwood is subject to the game’s randomized map mechanic, it’s tricky to find your destination, but you can head to the middle of Grelwood and find Tree of Souls and the waypoint next to it.
You can then summon Una next to Tree of Souls, who will tell you that you must go to Red Vale, investigate its runes, and bring them back to Renly.
How To Find Red Vale?
To find the entrance to Red Vale, you must head in the opposite direction from when you came in. Once in Red Vale, you’ll need to look for three obelisks containing runes of power. Most obelisks are scattered in the center of the area with a river in the middle. If you come across Refined Arms around, you’ve found the right path.
The first two obelisks will summon many enemies, which will gather and attack you. The last one will summon Rust King, who will also spawn a lot of enemies. However, if you defeat them, you will get Path Of Exile 2 Currency and the runes required for the quest.
You will then need to bring these runes back to Renly, who will use them to make three Rune Spikes. Pick them up and pierce Runic Seals in Tree of Souls, then return to Clearfell camp and talk to Una to complete Secrets In The Dark quest.
In addition to the above two quests, there are many interesting quests in POE 2. Although the specific content is different, their rough mechanics will not differ too much, so hopefully the methods we provide can help you solve more quests and difficulties. Thanks for reading.
