This guide details how to obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt, a unique and powerful belt in Path of Exile 2. This item is a late-game acquisition, requiring significant preparation and a powerful build capable of defeating pinnacle bosses.
How to Obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt
The Ingenuity Utility Belt is exclusively dropped by the King in the Mists, a challenging endgame Ritual Boss. To access this boss, you'll need the "An Audience With the King" item, used on the Realmgate in the Atlas.
The King in the Mists has a unique drop table, with Ingenuity being one of five possible unique items. While not guaranteed, the drop rate is estimated around 1 in 5 attempts. The other potential drops are:
- The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
Beetlebite
From Nothing
Pragmatism- Ingenuity
The King in the Mists' difficulty scales with higher tiers, increasing both the challenge 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, the Ingenuity Utility Belt can be purchased on the official PoE 2 trade site for approximately 15-50 Divine Orbs, depending on the item's modifiers. This is a significantly more expensive but reliable method.
Obtaining "An Audience With the King"
There are two ways to obtain this item:
- Trade Site: Purchase it for around 4-7
Divine Orbs. - Ritual Maps: It has a low chance of appearing as a Ritual favor. These favors are expensive (2700-3900 Tribute), but you can defer the item to obtain it at 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 prepared for the boss fight, you can seek a carry service or sell the item.
Using Orb of Chance
No, the Ingenuity Utility Belt cannot be obtained using Orbs of Chance. It's a unique drop and not part of the regular loot pool.
