While Path of Exile 2's narrative may not reach the sprawling complexity of The Witcher 3, it still presents players with devious side quests that'll make you pause and think. The Ancient Vows quest in Act 1 exemplifies this - what starts as a simple task becomes surprisingly confusing due to its intentionally vague instructions, leaving many adventurers scratching their heads.
The Ancient Vows Puzzle Quest
Most quests in Path of Exile 2 follow a clear pattern - go here, kill that, collect this. Ancient Vows maintains this structure but deliberately withholds crucial information about your destination and target. But fear not, exile! Our breakdown will have you completing this trial with ease.

Quest Completion Walkthrough
The Ancient Vows quest activates automatically when you obtain either the Sun Clan Relic or Kabala Clan Relic. These artifacts are hidden in two danger-filled zones: the Bone Pits and Keth. Brace yourself for exhaustive exploration and combat as you search every corner of these hostile areas.
The relics drop randomly from enemies, so prepare for potentially lengthy farming sessions. Once acquired, your pilgrimage leads to the ominous Valley of the Titans. Since areas are procedurally generated, we can't give exact coordinates, but follow these clues:
- Locate the zone's waypoint
- Search nearby for a colossal statue with an altar
- Drag your relic into the altar's interface
Reward Analysis and Choice Impact
Your perseverance pays off with a choice between two powerful benefits:
- 30% increased Charm Charge gain
- 15% improved Mana Flask efficiency
Unsatisfied with your initial pick? The game allows you to revisit the altar and switch rewards, though the journey back may prove perilous. These bonuses prove more valuable than they first appear:
The Charm Charge bonus substantially boosts defensive capabilities during prolonged boss encounters. Meanwhile, the Mana Flask enhancement becomes invaluable for spellcasters struggling with resource management in drawn-out fights.
With this knowledge, you're now equipped to conquer the Ancient Vows challenge and continue your exile's journey through Wraeclast's treacherous lands.
