Path of Exile 2: Ritual Enchantment Unveiled for Enhanced Gameplay
Path of Exile 2's Atlas offers four major endgame encounters: Breaches, Expeditions, Delirium, and Rituals. Rituals, a resurrected mechanic from previous PoE leagues, are detailed in this guide. We'll cover initiation, mechanics, the Ritual Passive Skill Tree, the Pinnacle boss (King in the Mists), and the unique Tribute and Favour reward system.
Understanding PoE 2 Rituals and Altars
On the Atlas, Ritual Altar map nodes are marked with a red pentagram and demonic face. Use a Ritual Precursor Tablet in a completed Lost Tower to guarantee a Ritual encounter on a chosen node.
Once in a Ritual map, several Altars appear, each sharing a random map-wide modifier affecting enemies or mechanics. These might include massive rat swarms, life-draining blood pools, or other challenges.
Examine an Altar's modifiers before interacting. Activating it unleashes a large enemy wave. Remain within the designated circle; leaving it prematurely ends the event with no rewards. Successfully completing all Rituals on a map marks it as complete.
Confronting the King in the Mists: The Ritual Pinnacle Boss
'An Audience With The King,' a unique Ritual currency, unlocks a fight against the King in the Mists at the Crux of Nothingness. Use it in your Atlas Realmgate.
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 event-exclusive Uniques, powerful Currencies, and Omen items.
Mastering the Ritual Passive Skill Tree
The Ritual Passive Skill Tree (found in the Atlas, bottom-right) enhances Rituals. Nodes reduce Tribute costs, improve rewards, and boost unique Currency drop rates.
The tree features eight Notable nodes and eight King in the Mists difficulty-increasing nodes. Defeating the King in the Mists awards 2 skill points, necessitating increased difficulty for each new Notable node.
Prioritize 'From The Mists,' 'Spreading Darkness,' and 'Ominous Portents' for optimal rewards. Then, consider 'Tempting Offers' and 'He Approaches' for enhanced Omen and "King" encounter chances. The table below details Notable Passive effects and requirements.
| Notable Delirium Passive | Effect | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Promised Devotion | 25% increased Altar skill damage; 50% less Tribute and faster Favour appearance at Altars | N/A |
| From The Mists | 2 extra enemy packs in Rituals | N/A |
| Reinvigorated Sacrifices | Revived monsters gain 20% Toughness and deal 10% more damage; no Tribute penalty for revived monsters | From The Mists |
| Spreading Darkness | Always 4 Ritual Altars in Ritual maps | N/A |
| Between Two Worlds | Rituals always contain a Wildwood Wisp (increased Tribute) | Spreading Darkness |
| Ominous Portents | 25% faster monster waves; 50% increased chance of Omens in Favours | N/A |
| He Approaches | 20% chance for revived monsters to be Magic or Rare; 50% chance for "An Audience With The King" | Ominous Portents |
| Tempting Offers | Extra Favour re-roll; 25% less Tribute for re-rolls | N/A |
Reaping the Rewards: Tribute, Favours, and Omens
Completed Rituals yield Tribute, a temporary currency for purchasing randomized Favours. More Altars completed equal more Tribute and unlocked Favours. Initial Favours are usually Magic items or low-level Currencies, progressing to Rare gear and high-tier Currencies. "An Audience With The King" is exclusively a Favour reward.
Omens, extremely valuable items, can enhance other Currency effects. Examples include Omens of Annulment and Alchemy. Their power makes them highly sought-after, often traded for significant value. 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 of event-exclusive items.
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

This comprehensive guide equips you to conquer PoE 2's Rituals and claim their substantial rewards.
