Path of Exile 2's Ancient Vows quest: A comprehensive guide

While Path of Exile 2's narrative isn't as expansive as The Witcher 3's, its side quests can still present intriguing challenges. This guide focuses on the Ancient Vows quest, a seemingly simple task complicated by its ambiguous instructions.

Unlike many PoE2 quests that involve straightforward boss battles, Ancient Vows requires more exploration. The quest begins after acquiring either the Sun Clan Relic or the Kabala Clan Relic. These relics are found within the Bone Pits and Keth, respectively. Expect a challenging search; the relics are random enemy drops.

Once a relic is obtained, head to the Valley of the Titans. The exact location is variable due to the game's procedural map generation, but look for a waypoint and a nearby large statue with an altar. Place the relic on the altar by dragging and dropping it into the designated slot.

Quest Rewards:

You'll choose between two passive effects:

• 30% increased Charm Charge gain
• 15% increased Mana recovery from Flasks

This choice is reversible, though returning to the altar to change it requires navigating potentially dangerous areas.

The rewards, while seemingly minor, significantly impact gameplay. Charm Charge gain boosts defense, especially crucial in boss fights. Increased Mana recovery from Flasks is beneficial if you frequently deplete your Mana Flasks.
