Path of Exile 2's Endgame Rituals: A Comprehensive Guide

Path of Exile 2 introduces several endgame events, including Breaches, Expeditions, Delirium, and Rituals. This guide focuses on Rituals, a revived mechanic from previous PoE leagues, detailing how to initiate them, their mechanics, the Pinnacle boss, and the unique reward system.

Identifying and Initiating Rituals

Atlas Map Node with Ritual Icon

On the Atlas, Ritual Altar map nodes are marked with a red pentagram icon. A Ritual Precursor Tablet, slotted into a completed Lost Tower, guarantees a Ritual encounter on a chosen node.

Once in a Ritual map, several Altars will spawn. Each map features a shared random modifier affecting enemy types or mechanics (e.g., massive rat waves or life-draining blood pools).

Interact with an Altar after noting its modifiers. A large enemy wave will spawn within a designated circle; remaining within this zone is crucial for completion. Exiting the circle prematurely ends the event without rewards. Successfully completing all Rituals on a map marks it as complete.

The King in the Mists: The Pinnacle Boss

'An Audience With The King,' a unique Ritual currency item, unlocks the Crux of Nothingness, home to the King in the Mists Pinnacle boss. Use this item in your Atlas Realmgate to access the fight.

The King in the Mists shares mechanics with his Act 1 Cruel counterpart (Freythorn zone). Defeating him grants 2 Ritual Passive Skill points, a chance at unique PoE 2 items, powerful currencies, and Omen items.

The Ritual Passive Skill Tree

Ritual Passive Skill Tree

The Ritual Passive Skill Tree (located in the Atlas Passive Skill Tree, bottom right) enhances Ritual events. Nodes modify Tribute requirements, improve rewards, and increase unique currency drop chances. Each King in the Mists fight grants 2 skill points, necessitating increased boss difficulty with each new Notable node.

Notable Ritual Passive Nodes:

Notable Node Effect Requirements
Promised Devotion 25% increased Altar skill damage; 50% less Tribute, 50% faster Favour appearance. N/A
From The Mists 2 extra enemy packs in Rituals. N/A
Reinvigorated Sacrifices Revived monsters gain 20% Toughness, 10% damage; Tribute penalty removed. From The Mists
Spreading Darkness 4 Ritual Altars guaranteed per map. N/A
Between Two Worlds Guaranteed Wildwood Wisp (increased Tribute). Spreading Darkness
Ominous Portents 25% faster monster waves, 50% increased Omen chance in Favours. N/A
He Approaches 20% chance for revived monsters to be Magic/Rare; 50% chance for 'An Audience With The King'. Ominous Portents
Tempting Offers Extra Favour re-roll; 25% cheaper re-rolls. N/A

Prioritize 'From The Mists,' 'Spreading Darkness,' and 'Ominous Portents' initially, then 'Tempting Offers' and 'He Approaches' for increased high-value rewards and boss encounter chances.

Ritual Rewards: Tribute and Favours

Completed Rituals grant Tribute, a temporary currency exchanged for randomized Favours. More completed Altars increase Tribute and unlock more Favours, ranging from Magic items and low-tier currencies to Rare gear and high-tier currencies. 'An Audience With The King' is exclusively obtained through Favours.

Omen Currencies: Powerful items improving other currency effects (consumed upon use). Examples include Omens of Annulment and Alchemy. These are highly valuable and often traded for other high-value currencies.

Regular high-tier currencies (Exalted Orbs, Vaal Orbs, etc.) also drop from Ritual enemies. The King in the Mists has a chance to drop Uniques from a pool exclusive to the Ritual event.

All PoE 2 Omen Currencies:

Omen of Sinistral Alchemy, Omen of Dextral Alchemy, Omen of Sinistral Coronation, Omen of Dextral Coronation, Omen of Refreshment, Omen of Resurgence, Omen of Corruption, Omen of Amelioration, Omen of Sinistral Exaltation, Omen of Dextral Exaltation, Omen of Greater Annulment, Omen of Whittling, Omen of Sinistral Erasure, Omen of Dextral Erasure, Omen of Sinistral Annulment, Omen of Dextral Annulment, Omen of Greater Exaltation.
