PoE2: Ingenuity Utility Belt Guide

Mastering the Ingenuity Utility Belt in Path of Exile 2: A Comprehensive Guide

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a coveted unique item in Path of Exile 2, highly sought after for its build-defining capabilities. However, acquiring it isn't straightforward. This guide outlines the methods for obtaining this powerful belt.

How to Obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a unique drop from the King in the Mists, a challenging endgame Ritual Boss. To access this boss, you'll need the "An Audience With the King" item, used on a Realmgate in the Atlas. Defeating the King in the Mists offers a chance to obtain the belt, but it's not guaranteed. The drop rate is estimated at roughly one in five attempts.

Other possible unique drops from the King in the Mists include:

1. The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
2. Beetlebite
3. From Nothing
4. Pragmatism

The King in the Mists presents a significant challenge, especially at higher difficulty tiers. His attacks can one-shot many builds, but his attack patterns are similar to his Act 1 counterpart, offering some familiarity.

Alternatively, you can purchase the Ingenuity Utility Belt from the PoE 2 trade site. Expect to pay 15-50 Divine Orbs, depending on the item's rolls. This is a more reliable but significantly more expensive method.

Acquiring "An Audience With the King"

There are two ways to obtain this crucial item:

• Trade Site/Currency Exchange: The average cost is approximately 4-7 Divine Orbs.
• Ritual Maps: It has a low chance of dropping as a Ritual favor. These favors are expensive (2700-3900 Tribute), often making immediate purchase impossible. You can defer the item to obtain it at a reduced cost in a future Ritual (usually within 1-4 maps).

If you obtain "An Audience With the King" but aren't prepared for the King in the Mists encounter, consider seeking a carry service or selling the item.

Using Orb of Chance

No, the Ingenuity Utility Belt cannot be obtained using Orbs of Chance. It's a unique boss drop and not part of the regular loot pool.

This comprehensive guide should help you in your quest to acquire the Ingenuity Utility Belt. Remember, patience and preparation are key to success!
