PoE 2: How to Get All Boss Skill Points?

Accessing Tier 15 Maps unlocks a myriad of possibilities to enhance your playstyle via the Boss Skill Tree in PoE 2. With the DoTH update, the methods to acquire all Boss Skill Points have been altered. This guide will explain how to unlock all Boss Skill Points in  Atlas tree. The recent 0.2 update has changed things, and we are here to walk you through it. 

 

 

Why Focus on Boss Skill Points?

  • Increased Rewards: Bosses are a bounty of resources.  
  • Greater Challenge: Provides an additional challenge to experienced players.  
  • Strategic Advantage: Customize your approach to better prepare for bosses.  

 

Skill Book

Skill Book Area Level Requirement Tips
1st 79 Defeat a boss in a map with area level 79 or higher. Load into a tier 15 map, ensuring no modifiers affect the area level. A tier 14 irradiated map can also work if it raises the area level to 79.
2nd 80 Spend your first set of points in the boss tree and defeat a boss at area level 80 or above. Run a tier 15 irradiated map for an area level of 80. Ensure you spend your points before defeating the boss to receive another skill book.
3rd 81 Defeat a boss at area level 81 or higher with four points spent in the tree. Corruption no longer guarantees +1 to area level. Look for maps with corruption modifiers or cleanse maps for rerolled modifiers. Use a tower to irradiate if necessary.
4th 82 Defeat a boss at area level 82 or higher with six points spent in the skill tree. Use a tier 16 waystone, which can be bought or upgraded with a Valor Orb. Run it on an irradiated map with the +1 area level modifier.
5th Arbiter of Ash Complete the Pinnacle of Flame quest and defeat the Arbiter of Ash. Gather fragments from citadels and combine them at the burning monolith to access the Arbiter fight. Unlimited revives are allowed at difficulty zero, making it less intimidating.

 

Skill Tree & Recommendations

How you choose to spend your boss skill points in PoE 2 can greatly depend on what your preferred playstyle is and the kinds of maps you run. Some nodes have more clear advantages than others which can be conditional and need careful consideration. 

Skill Point Set Options Recommendation
1st Quantity vs Rarity Quantity
2nd Radiant Waystones Skip if waystone sustain isn't an issue
3rd Essence, Shrine, Spirit, Strong Box Shrine (Directed Worship)
4th Organized Forces, Quantity/Rarity boosts  Based on playstyle and map preferences

First Set of Points:

  • Option 1: 15% increased quantity of items dropped by map bosses.
  • Option 2: 25% increased rarity of items dropped by map bosses.
  • Recommendation: Go for quantity if your gear already boosts rarity.

 

Second Set of Points:

Radiant Waystones: Increases the quantity of waystones dropped by bosses by 10%.

Note: Currently, waystone sustain isn't a major issue, so consider revisiting this choice.

 

Third Set of Points:

Choose one of the following to add to all boss maps:

  • An essence
  • A shrine
  • An Asmary spirit
  • A strong box

Recommendation: Opt for an extra shrine or essence, as strong boxes and Asmary spirits are less beneficial unless buffed in future updates.

 

Final Points:

  • Organized Forces: Increases area level but may be redundant if using precursor tablets.
  • Corruption Node: Offers a 30% chance for boss maps to contain corruption, adding monster density and rewards.
  • Recommendation: Focus on increasing rarity and securing an extra essence/spirit for consistent rewards.

 

Appropriate spending of boss skill points goes a long way in improving your PoE 2 gameplay experience. If you focus on boosting item quantity and rarity alongside selected nodes to your playstyle, the overall experience improves. And as always, be flexible; change your strategy as the game progresses.
