Path of Exile 2's Ancient Vows quest: A cryptic challenge and its rewarding solution. While Path of Exile 2's narrative may lack the depth of The Witcher 3, its side quests, like Ancient Vows, offer intriguing puzzles. This guide helps unravel the mystery.

Unlike most PoE2 quests with clear objectives, Ancient Vows is deliberately vague. It begins after obtaining either the Sun Clan Relic (Bone Pits) or the Kabala Clan Relic (Keth). Locating these relics requires exploration and combat within these challenging areas; they're random enemy drops.

Once a relic is acquired, head to the Valley of the Titans. While map generation is random, look for a waypoint; a large statue with an altar is usually nearby. Place the relic on the altar by dragging and dropping it into the slot.

Quest Rewards:

The reward offers a choice between two passive effects:

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

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

The rewards, while seemingly minor, significantly impact gameplay. The Charm Charge gain boosts survivability in boss fights, while increased Mana recovery from Flasks is invaluable during intense battles. The best choice depends on your playstyle and Charm usage.
