Path of Exile 2's Ancient Vows quest: A cryptic guide to completing this challenging side quest.

Unlike many PoE2 quests (typically involving reaching a location and defeating a boss), Ancient Vows lacks specific directions. The quest begins upon obtaining either the Sun Clan Relic or the Kabala Clan Relic. These powerful artifacts are randomly dropped by enemies in the Bone Pits and Keth areas. Be prepared for extensive exploration and challenging combat.

Once you secure a relic, head to the Valley of the Titans. The game's randomly generated maps prevent precise location details, but look for a waypoint; a large statue with an altar is usually nearby. Place the relic on the altar by dragging and dropping it into the designated slot.

Rewards:

Upon completion, choose between two passive effects:

• 30% increased Charm Charge gain
• 15% increased Mana recovery from Flasks

Should you change your mind, you can return to the altar to switch effects—though this requires navigating potentially dangerous terrain.

The rewards, while initially seeming minor, significantly impact gameplay. Charm Charge gain boosts survivability during boss fights, while increased Mana recovery from Flasks is crucial for extended battles.
