- Complete Act III twice—on Normal and Hard difficulty levels.
- Unlock the Atlas of Worlds by defeating the final boss of Act III and then speaking with NPC Doryani.

To access your personal base, navigate to the waypoint menu and select the Fleur-de-lis symbol on the right side of the screen. Alternatively, you can use a more direct method by typing /hideout in the game chat.
What Types of Hideouts Exist?
Upon unlocking your first Hideout, you start with one type of personal base. To access different types, you'll need to continue exploring the Atlas of Worlds for maps with new Hideouts. Eventually, you can collect all four available types:
- Felled
- Limestone
- Shrine
- Canal
To switch to a new type, interact with the NPC Alva and choose the appropriate option from the menu.
Hideout Customization
Once you've gained access to your Hideout, Path of Exile 2 lets you unleash your creativity in its design. You can freely arrange objects and NPCs, rotate and move items, and add or replace decorations. There's even the option to import designs from other players or export your own to share with friends!

Convenience is key. Position useful NPCs like Doryani for item identification, Ketzuli for disenchanting items, and Alva for currency exchange near the entrance. Don't forget to set up Stashes and a Waypoint. While optimizing for efficiency, also consider the aesthetics of your Hideout, as fellow players might visit and admire your work.
