PoE Ritual League Guide - Complete Rituals

Kirac Map Mods: Ritual. Area contains Ritual Altars.

In Path of Exile: Echoes of the Atlas, you’ll gain even more control over your end-game Path of Exile experience by specialising each region of your Atlas with its own passive tree, crafting Watchstones to refine your rewards, selecting up to ten map bosses to face simultaneously and challenging the Atlas’ new pinnacle boss: The Maven. Alongside this endgame content, you’ll perform dangerous and rewarding Rituals in the action-packed Ritual League, explore nineteen improved Ascendancy classes, discover powerful new items and much more.

1. Complete a Ritual

Players will randomly encounter Ritual Altars while completing the Acts and within Maps. It cannot be found within Heists or in Delve.

1. Players must first slay the monsters guarding the altar in order to activate it.
2. Then clicking the altar begins the ritual and the Ritual Circle appears on the ground.
3. Monsters will spawn in multiple waves, each wave harder than the last. After defeating all the monsters within the ritual, the combat phase ends and players can loot the altar. If the altar was located near a boss room, then the boss has a chance of spawning (again) within the ritual.
4. Clicking the altar displays the Ritual Favors interface that allows players to select their rewards. Some rewards are hidden and will be reveled after more rituals on the same map are completed.
5. Players can then move to other areas of the Map and complete all the altars in order to unlock more rewards.

 You can use the Ritual Rewards button to view the number of rituals in the area, number of completed rituals and the reward pool.

PoE 3.19 Changes: The Ritual Tribute from sacrificing Rare Monsters has been increased, to compensate for the reduced number of Rare Monsters now spawned.

Tips

1. While fighting, you can portal out to leave a Ritual or close the game client at any time.
2. If all players within the Ritual die or have left, then it fails. You can come back and spend any Tribute you did earn before it failed.
3. The number of Ritual Altars in an area does scale slightly as you progress, with a current cap of 4 Altars.
4. There are no Ritual-specific sextant mods. However, mods that increase the number of monsters in a map will impact how many monsters you encounter in a Ritual.

PoE Challenges

• Complete each of the following Ritual encounters:
  • Complete a Ritual
  • Defer a Favour

3. Ritual Special Rewards

After completing a ritual, players can click the Altar to display the Favours interface that allows players to select their own rewards, in exchange for Tribute points.

• All items are identified and players can see the exact mods and rolls of the item before selecting the reward.
• After a reward is selected and withdrawn, it cannot be returned/refunded.
• All of the altars in the area are part of the same set, and share the same pool of rewards.
• All of the new rewards introduced in Ritual are purchasable with Tribute and do not drop from monsters in a Ritual encounter.
• When playing in a party, the instance owner gets to choose the rewards. Party members can view the Favours window (where you select your rewards) as well.
• Completing a single ritual will only reveal 1/2 or 1/3 of the possible rewards.
• Completing all the ritual altars in the area/map reveals all possible rewards.

3.1 Spend Tribute on a Favour

As you slay monsters during a Ritual, you’ll earn Tribute which can be spent on a variety of seductive items and rewards:

Ritual Base Types

All types of currency

Chaos Orbs (rare)

Exalted Orbs (rare, only in maps)

Uniques

Quality skill gems and Corrupted skill gems (Level 21 or 23% quality)

Fully identified rare items, Fully identified influenced rare items

Quality flasks

Delirium Orbs

Jewels, Cluster Jewels

Maps

Abyss

Perandus

Harbinger

Breach

Essences

Scarabs, Maps and map fragments

Fossils

Prophecies

Divination Cards, Stacked Decks

Talismans

Legion

Blight

Metamorph

Ritual

Delirium

Heist

These items vary greatly in power and cost, so you may find you can afford several cheaper ones or one more valuable one. Some Favours will use the smart loot generation system, but it depends on the type of item.

3.2 Defer a Favour Reward

Pay 15% off an item's original cost to defer that item. This item will reappear in a later area, discounted by 10% of its original cost. More valuable items can take longer to reappear.

• Defering an item costs 15% of the original price and can be repeated every time it appears.
• A deffered item will reappear in a later area, discounted by 10% of its original cost.
• If the item has been deferred further the price will increase.
• It is currently undetermined how long it takes for deferred items to reappear. Valuable items will take longer to reappear.

You can defer an item more than once and defer more than one Ritual item. There is an indicator in the Favours window that displays when something has been deferred from a previous area.

If a deferred reward comes up again in a later area, you should either purchase it or defer it again. If you don’t defer it again, it doesn’t completely vanish immediately, but it does recover some of its original cost. If you allow it to get all the way back to its starting value, then it will stop reappearing for you.

3.3 Reroll Favours

You can consume some Tribute to reroll the rewards offered.

Reroll to receive new Favours. This can only be done once per area.

3.4 Complete four Ritual Encounters in a single area

There are not always only three Rituals per zone. The number of Ritual Altars in an area does scale slightly as you progress, with a current cap of 4 Altars.

3.5 Ritual Base Types PoE

Ritual Base Types pair very powerful implicit mods with challenging drawbacks. If you can create a build that mitigates this drawback, then you can take advantage of the power of these items and craft them into something amazing.

• Nexus Gloves reduce your maximum mana, but have a chance of immediately refunding the mana spent to use a skill. If you can work around this restriction to your mana pool, you can periodically use skills for essentially no mana cost.
• Penitent Mask applies the Crushed debuff to you, removing your physical damage protection. However, its upside is that it increases the effect of fortify on you by quite a lot, reducing the damage you take from hits. There are many situations where this is a huge win, such as if you already have no armour or endurance charges.
• Stormrider Boots reduce your accuracy rating, but provide a huge added lightning damage boost to your attacks, based on your accuracy rating. If you have other sources of accuracy to rely on, this is potentially a huge increase to the lighting damage you deal.

4. Ritual Vessel: enhance your rituals

After completing a Ritual, you have the chance to ‘capture’ its monsters using a Vessel which can be used on a map to improve its challenge and rewards.

In the end game, you can obtain tradeable Ritual Vessel, which allow you to itemise the monsters from a ritual. You can place up to four vessels in the map device alongside a map to add their monsters to the rituals present in that map, substantially increasing both the difficulty and rewards of those Rituals.

Vessels also substantially increase monster density which can be very rewarding in maxed-out maps that have mechanics like Beyond and Delirium present.
