How to Master the Ancient Vows Quest in PoE 2: Step-by-Step Guide

So you're trudging through Act 2 of Path of Exile 2, killing monsters left and right, when you pick up a funky relic with a note that basically says, "Good luck figuring this out. That's the Ancient Vows quest that drops into your lap - a little side quest that's light on clues but heavy on rewards. It's not just busywork, either; complete it and you'll receive a permanent buff to give your character some extra strength. If the lack of directions has you wandering in circles, relax - I have a straightforward guide to lead you through. Let's hit the dunes and get this done! 

What is Ancient Vows?

You'll stumble upon the Ancient Vows quest when you pick up either the Sun Clan Relic or the Kabala Clan Relic during Act 2. It's one of those PoE 2 moments where the game throws you a puzzle and walks away whistling. The goal? Find both relics, find a place to use them, and claim a perk that will stick with you for the long haul. It's a treasure hunt with a twist, and I'm here to point you in the right direction.

Step 1: Find the Sun Clan Relic in the Bone Pits

Your first stop is the Bone Pits, a dusty section of the Vastiri Plains in Act 2. If you're looking for the Ivory Theft, you're in the right place. The Sun Clan Relic drops randomly from the local wildlife - hyenas, skeletons, you name it - so keep swinging until you spot the green text on the ground. It may take a few waves of enemies, but it'll show up eventually.

Pro tip: Watch your back-those packs can swarm fast. The dodge roll is your best friend here.

Step 2: Dig up the Kabala Clan Relic in Keth

Next up is Keth, a creepy zone crawling with slinky, snake-like enemies. Hidden among them is the Kabala Clan Relic, another random drop you'll have to earn through some old-fashioned combat. Since Keth is on the main story path, you can take care of it while you pursue bigger goals. Keep an eye out for the green text loot - it's your ticket to the next step.

Step 3: Head to the Valley of the Titans

Both Relics in hand? Nice work! Now get your desert map from the caravan and make your way to the Valley of the Titans. You're looking for the "Sacrifice to Amrit" area - think big statue, medallion at the base, usually near the waypoint. The map shifts around a bit each time, so you may have to explore a bit. Climb up, click on the medallion (hold ALT on the PC), and insert the relics from your inventory. Done and done!

Step 4: Choose your permanent buff

Here's where it gets good. When you insert the relics, you get to choose between two buffs that will stay with you forever:

30% Increased Charm Gained: Keeps your charms ticking over faster - great when you're relying on them to stay alive.

15% Mana recovery from flasks: Pumps more mana out of each sip, perfect for spellcasters or skill junkies.

The coolest part? You can always zip back to the valley to swap your pick. No pressure - go with what works for you now and adjust later.

Which buff is your vibe?

Not sure which one to pick? If you're a melee brawler or a charm-stacker, the extra charges can keep you in the fight longer. If you sling spells or burn through skills, the mana boost will save you from embarrassing dry spells. I'd pick one, try it out, and see how it feels - Wraeclast is all about trial and error.

Why Ancient Vows is worth the effort

This quest isn't just a detour for fun. This permanent buff can give you a leg up in PoE 2's brutal battles, and the zones you'll hit are loaded with loot to boot. It's a quick buff that pays off big time, especially as Act 2 turns up the heat.
