Mastering the Ingenuity Utility Belt in Path of Exile 2: A Comprehensive Guide
The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a highly sought-after unique item in Path of Exile 2, crucial for various builds. Acquiring it, however, presents a significant challenge. This guide outlines the methods to obtain 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 encounter, you'll need the "An Audience With the King" item, used at the Realmgate on the Atlas. Successfully defeating the King in the Mists offers a chance to obtain the belt.
The King in the Mists has a unique drop table, with Ingenuity being one of five possibilities:
- The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
Beetlebite
From Nothing
Pragmatism
Ingenuity
The drop rate isn't guaranteed but is estimated to be around 1 in 5 attempts. Higher difficulty tiers increase the drop chance but also significantly increase the boss's challenge. The King's attacks are similar to his Act 1 counterpart, providing a reference point for preparation.
Alternatively, purchasing the belt from the PoE 2 trade site is a more reliable, albeit expensive, option. Expect to pay 15-50 Divine Orbs, depending on the item's rolls.
Acquiring "An Audience With the King"
This item can be obtained through two methods:
- Trade Site: Purchase it for approximately 4-7 Divine Orbs.
- Ritual Maps: It has a low chance of appearing as a Ritual favor. The initial cost is high (2700-3900 Tribute), but you can defer it to a future Ritual at a reduced cost. It should reappear within 1-4 Ritual maps.
If you obtain "An Audience With the King" but aren't ready for the boss fight, consider seeking a carry service or selling the item.
Orb of Chance Ineffectiveness
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.
