Path of Exile 2: How to Get Ingenuity Utility Belt

Path of Exile 2: Acquiring the Ingenuity Utility Belt – A Comprehensive Guide

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a highly sought-after unique item in Path of Exile 2, crucial for various builds. However, obtaining it isn't straightforward. This guide outlines the methods available.

How to Obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a unique drop from the King in the Mists, a challenging endgame Ritual Boss. Access to this boss requires the "An Audience With the King" item, used at the Realmgate on the Atlas. Defeating the King in the Mists offers a chance to acquire the belt, but 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 desired item)

The King in the Mists' difficulty scales with higher tiers, increasing the drop chance but also significantly increasing the challenge. His attacks are similar to the Act 1 King in the Mists, offering some familiarity.

Alternatively, purchasing the belt from the PoE 2 trade site is a more reliable (but expensive) option, costing approximately 15-50 Divine Orbs depending on the item's rolls.

Acquiring "An Audience With the King"

"An Audience with the King" can be obtained through:

• Trading: Expect to pay around 4-7 Divine Orbs.
• 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 within 1-4 maps).

If you obtain "An Audience With the King" but aren't prepared for the fight, consider seeking a carry service or selling the item.

Using Orb of Chance

No, the Ingenuity Utility Belt cannot be obtained using an Orb of Chance. It's a unique boss drop and not part of the regular loot pool. Trading remains the only alternative besides defeating the King in the Mists.
