Most PoE2 quests are straightforward: locate a place, defeat a boss. Ancient Vows follows this structure, but lacks specific directions. This guide simplifies the process.

Completing the Quest:

The Ancient Vows quest activates upon acquiring either the Sun Clan Relic or the Kabala Clan Relic, found within the Bone Pits and Keth, respectively. These areas demand thorough exploration and combat prowess. Relics are random enemy drops—patience is key.

After securing a relic, head to the Valley of the Titans. While map locations are randomized, 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 slot.

Quest Rewards:

Choose between two passive effects:

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

Changing your selection requires returning to the altar, potentially navigating hostile territory.

The rewards, while initially seeming modest, significantly impact gameplay. Charm Charge gain boosts survivability in boss fights, while increased Mana recovery is vital for players whose Mana Flasks frequently deplete.
