Path of Exile 2: Essential Guide to Acquiring Ingenuity Utility Belt

This guide explains how to obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt, a unique and powerful belt in Path of Exile 2. This item is only obtainable through specific endgame activities.

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. To fight this boss, you need the "An Audience With the King" item, used at the Realmgate on the Atlas. Defeating the King in the Mists offers a chance to receive the belt, but it's not guaranteed. The drop rate is approximately one in five attempts. Other possible unique drops from this boss include:

• The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
• Beetlebite
• From Nothing
• Pragmatism
• Ingenuity

The difficulty of the King in the Mists fight increases with higher tiers, impacting both the boss's power and the drop chance. His attacks are similar to the King in the Mists encountered earlier in the game, providing a point of reference.

Alternatively, you can purchase the Ingenuity Utility Belt from the PoE 2 trade site. The cost varies, typically ranging from 15 to 50 Divine Orbs, depending on its stats.

Obtaining "An Audience With the King"

There are two ways to obtain this item:

• Trade Site: Purchase it for approximately 4-7 Divine Orbs.
• Ritual Maps: It has a low chance of appearing as a Ritual favor. These favors are expensive (2700-3900 Tribute). If you can't afford it immediately, you can defer the item to a later Ritual at a reduced cost. It should reappear within 1-4 Ritual maps.

If you have "An Audience With the King" but aren't ready to fight the boss, consider asking for a carry from other players.

Using Orb of Chance

No, you cannot obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt using an Orb of Chance. It's a unique drop and not part of the regular loot pool.

This belt is a valuable endgame item, requiring significant effort or currency to obtain. Choose the method that best suits your playstyle and resources.
