Path of Exile 2's Ancient Vows quest: A cryptic challenge and its rewards

Most Path of Exile 2 quests involve reaching a location and defeating a boss. Ancient Vows follows this pattern, but the location and target remain unclear. The quest appears in your journal after obtaining either the Sun Clan Relic or the Kabala Clan Relic.

These relics are hidden within the Bone Pits and Keth, requiring exploration and combat. Relic drops are random, demanding patience and skill. Once obtained, head to the Valley of the Titans to complete the quest.

The Valley of the Titans' layout is procedurally generated, so precise coordinates are unavailable. However, locate a waypoint; a nearby large statue with an altar will be the quest's objective. Place the relic onto the altar by dragging and dropping it into the designated slot.

The quest rewards offer a choice between two passive effects:

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

This choice is not permanent. Returning to the altar allows you to switch effects, but be prepared for potential combat on your return journey.

While the rewards may seem modest initially, understanding Charms in Path of Exile 2 reveals their defensive value. The increased Charm Charge gain significantly improves survivability in boss fights, while increased Mana recovery is beneficial if your Mana Flask frequently depletes.
