Path of Exile 2: Ingenuity Utility Belt Unlocked

Path of Exile 2 Ingenuity Utility Belt: The Ultimate Guide

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a coveted unique item in Path of Exile 2, crucial for many high-level builds. Acquiring it, however, presents a significant challenge. Only endgame players with builds capable of consistently defeating pinnacle bosses should attempt this. Alternatively, a hefty investment of Divine Orbs can significantly increase your chances. For those seeking a less expensive route, read on.

How to Obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt

The Ingenuity Utility Belt drops exclusively from the King in the Mists, the endgame Ritual Boss. To access this encounter, you'll need "An Audience With the King," an item used at the Atlas Realmgate. Successfully defeating the King in the Mists offers a chance to obtain the belt, though it's not guaranteed. The drop rate is estimated at roughly one in five attempts. Other possible unique drops include:

1. The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
2. Beetlebite
3. From Nothing
4. Pragmatism
5. Ingenuity

The King in the Mists' difficulty scales with the challenge level, impacting both the boss's power and the drop chance. His attacks are similar to the Act 1 King in the Mists, offering a preview of the encounter.

Acquiring "An Audience With the King"

"An Audience With the King" can be obtained through two methods:

• Trading: Expect to pay approximately 4-7 Divine Orbs on the official trade site.
• Ritual Maps: This item has a low chance of appearing as a Ritual favor. The initial cost is high (2700-3900 Tribute), but you can defer the item to obtain it at a reduced cost in subsequent Rituals (typically appearing within 1-4 maps).

If you acquire "An Audience With the King" before being prepared for the fight, consider seeking a carry service or selling the item.

Orb of Chance and the Ingenuity Utility Belt

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.

In summary, obtaining the Ingenuity Utility Belt requires significant endgame progression or a substantial currency investment. Weigh your options carefully based on your in-game progress and resources.
