PoE 2 Ritual Farming Guide - Best Ritual Atlas Tree Strategies in Path of Exile 2

Ritual farming has emerged as one of the most lucrative and rewarding mechanics in Path of Exile 2's endgame, offering players the chance to earn significant currency—most notably Divine Orbs—while engaging in intense, claustrophobic combat. In this Path of Exile 2 ritual guide, let’s dive in top 3 best Ritual farming atlas tree strategies.

What is Ritual in Path of Exile 2?

Rituals are mysterious sacrificial sites created by the King in the Mists. Players interact with these sites to initiate encounters after defeating enemies within a designated area marked around the altar. Once a Ritual is activated, a dark mist surrounds the altar, preventing players from leaving the area. Any enemies killed within this circle will be resurrected, allowing players to defeat them again for rewards.

3. Path of Exile 2 Ritual Atlas Strategy to Get Divine Orbs

Atlas Passive Tree Setup

To maximize your profits from Ritual farming, you need to invest heavily in the Ritual-related nodes on the Atlas Passive Tree. Here’s what you should prioritize:

• Increased Chance of Ritual Omen Drops: Focus on nodes that boost the chance of finding Omens and high-tier POE 2 items like Audience with the King (a valuable chase item).

• Reroll Additional Times in Ritual Shops: Allows you to see more items in the Ritual loot pool, increasing the chances of finding valuable items.

• Reduced Tribute Cost for Favor Rerolls: Makes rerolls more affordable, allowing you to maximize the number of items you can check in every Ritual.

• Precursor Tablet Nodes: These nodes increase the quantity and quality of Ritual Tablets, which are critical to amplifying your loot.

2. High-Cost Setup

Farming Ritual efficiently requires an expensive initial setup. Here’s what you need:

• Audience with the King Tablets: These are essential for maximizing your loot. They allow rerolling the Ritual shop an additional time and cost around 50-60 Exalts each. Place these in the center of your map for maximum map coverage.

• Reduced Tribute Cost Tablets: Use these on side towers to reduce the tribute cost of rerolling the shop. This ensures you can afford to reroll multiple times on each map.

• Tier 16 Maps: You need Tier 16 maps to ensure that high-level Omens and chase items appear in the Ritual shop. These maps can be purchased or created by corrupting Tier 15 maps.

• Distilled Guilt Scarabs: These increase pack size, which directly impacts the amount of tribute you gain in each Ritual.

3. Running the Maps

Here’s how you should run maps for Ritual farming:

• Focus on Pack Size: Prioritize maps with modifiers that increase pack size, as tribute is directly tied to the number of monsters killed in Rituals.

• Use Audience Tablets Strategically: Place Audience with the King tablets in the center of the map to maximize their effect radius, and stack Reduced Tribute Cost tablets on side towers.

• Clear Maps Before Rituals: Fully clear the map to maximize tribute before starting the Ritual encounters. Monsters spawned by mechanics like Delirium mirrors or unique bosses can respawn in Rituals, giving additional tribute.

• Corrupted Tier 16 Maps: Use uncorrupted Tier 16 maps to run Delirium or other mechanics, but avoid corrupted lower-tier maps as they may downgrade the map tier.

4. Using Tribute and Rerolls

• Prioritize Rerolls: Always reroll the shop multiple times to maximize the number of items you can view.

• Defer High-Value Items: If you can’t afford to buy a valuable item like Audience with the King outright, defer it. This ensures you can roll for additional items while saving tribute for future purchases.

• Save Tribute for Chase Items: Look for valuable drops like Omens, chase uniques, and other profitable items. Don’t waste tribute on low-value loot.
