In the footsteps of Ancients: a journey through Vows in PoE 2

by Olivia Jan 07,2025

Path of Exile 2's Ancient Vows quest: A cryptic but rewarding challenge. While PoE2's storyline might lack the sprawling depth of Witcher 3, its side quests, like Ancient Vows, offer intriguing puzzles. This guide will help you unravel the mystery.

Unlike many PoE2 quests with clear objectives, Ancient Vows only activates after obtaining either the Sun Clan Relic (Bone Pits) or Kabala Clan Relic (Keth). Finding these relics requires exploration and combat within these challenging areas; they're random enemy drops, demanding patience and skill.

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

Rewards: Choose between two passive effects:

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

You can change your choice later by returning to the altar, but be prepared for potential combat.

While seemingly minor, these rewards significantly impact gameplay. The Charm Charge bonus boosts survivability in boss fights, while increased Mana Flask recovery is crucial for extended battles.
