To efficiently collect all three fates Cowardly Fate, Deadly Fate, and Victorious Fate in Path of Exile 2, follow these strategic tips:
- Focus on Trial of Chaos Runs: The primary source of all three fates is defeating the 10th wave bosses in the Trial of Chaos, accessed via Inscribed Ultimatums dropped by high-level monsters (area level 76+). Farm Ultimatums repeatedly for steady chances at the fates.
- Optimize Build and Speed: Use a fast-clearing, tanky build that can sustain multiple trial runs without downtime. Prioritize area damage, mobility, and strong boss killing power to quickly pass waves and bosses.
- Map and Zone Selection: Run Ultimatums in maps or zones with high monster density and manageable difficulty to maximize efficiency. Focus on maps with bonuses to item quantity and rarity to improve loot volume.
- Use Atlas Passives and Scarabs: Invest points in atlas nodes that boost map quantity and rarity. Employ scarabs or other map-enhancing consumables to further increase monster packs and item drops within trials.
- Leverage Trade and Currency Exchange: If a specific fate is elusive, keep an eye on trading markets or use Currency Exchange NPCs available after Cruel difficulty to acquire missing fates, saving farming time.
- Group Play Benefits: Consider farming in a party to increase monster density and trial completion speed. Team synergy can reduce trial difficulty and boost overall efficiency.
- Balance Risk and Reward: Be ready to abandon trial runs when unfavorable situations arise such as difficult mods or depleted flasks to maintain farming efficiency. Quickly moving to the next Ultimatum run preserves time.
- Consistent Farming Schedule: Regularly dedicating time to farming Ultimatums daily or throughout league phases ensures steady accumulation of all fates, smoothing the path to unlocking the Trialmaster fight.
