PoE2 Tips and Tricks

  1. Study the passive tree before you start to spend your points. Its size may be a little bit intimidating, but a proper plan will help you in a long term.
  2. Don't worry about respec , as it is unlocked in Act 1. It costs in-game currency, though.
  3. Dodge. If you don't want to die, it is the best option (or stay behind your army of minions).
  4. Don't worry about flasks. You will find their better versions after killing bosses and other opponents.
  5. Remember to refill flasks in the well at your base.
  6. Chek the world map to see, if you have discovered all major treasures and killed all bosses, as some of them are optional.
  7. Once you discover the entrance to the new location on the story maps, don't explore further. Enter the new area and unlock the waypoint (teleport) and go back to the old location if you wish. Thanks to that, you will not have to return or rediscover this place again.
  8. You can increase your attributes on the passive skill tree.
  9. The devil is in the details. There are many items in PoE2. However, you have to tailor their bonuses to your liking. The game gives you tools for that, so don't just accept the loot you get.
  10. There are small interactive objects on each map - like vases or rocks. Sometimes, there is something hidden under/in them. A little bit of gold or an item can be useful at the beginning.
