Path of Exile 2's Ancient Vows quest: A cryptic puzzle solved! While Path of Exile 2's storyline isn't as sprawling as The Witcher 3's, its side quests can still present intriguing challenges.

Most PoE2 quests involve reaching a location and defeating a boss. Ancient Vows follows this pattern, but the locations are not explicitly stated. This guide will help you complete it.

Completing the Quest:

The Ancient Vows quest activates after obtaining either the Sun Clan Relic (Bone Pits) or the Kabala Clan Relic (Keth). Finding these relics requires exploring these areas thoroughly and battling enemies; the relics are random drops. Once you have a relic, head to the Valley of the Titans.

The Valley of the Titans' layout is procedurally generated, so precise coordinates are impossible. However, locate a waypoint; a large statue with an altar is usually nearby. Place your relic on the altar by dragging and dropping it into the slot.

Rewards and Choices:

You'll receive a choice of passive effects: 30% increased Charm Charge gain or 15% increased Mana recovery from Flasks. This choice can be changed later by returning to the altar, though this requires revisiting potentially dangerous areas.

While seemingly minor, these rewards significantly impact gameplay. The Charm Charge bonus improves survivability in boss fights, while the Mana Flask recovery is beneficial for players who frequently deplete their mana.
