How to Unlock a Hideout in Path of Exile 2

Unlocking your Hideout requires completing several steps:

1. Complete Act III twice – once on Normal and once on Hard difficulty.
2. Unlock the Atlas of Worlds by defeating Act III's final boss and speaking with Doryani.
3. Locate a map featuring the Hideout symbol on the Atlas of Worlds (this is usually quick).
4. Eliminate all monsters in the map area.

To access your Hideout, use the waypoint menu and select the Fleur-de-lis symbol (right side of the screen). Alternatively, enter the command /hideout in the game chat.

What Types of Hideouts Exist?

Initially, you'll only have access to one Hideout type. To unlock others, explore the Atlas of Worlds for new Hideout maps. There are four Hideout types in total: Felled, Limestone, Shrine, and Canal. Switch between them by speaking with Alva and selecting the desired option.

Hideout Customization

Your Hideout in PoE2 is your canvas. Experiment with placement of objects and NPCs, rotate and move items, add and replace decorations, and even import/export designs with other players!

For optimal functionality, consider placing key NPCs like Doryani (identification), Ketzuli (disenchanting), and Alva (currency exchange) near the entrance. Don't forget your Stashes and Waypoint! Remember to balance efficiency with aesthetics, as other players might visit.

Congratulations on learning how to unlock your Hideout in PoE2! Enjoy customizing your personal haven in Wraeclast!
