How to respec in Path of Exile 2
Speak to The Hooded One at Clearfell and select the option to ‘Refund Passives’. From there, you’re able to refund each of your passive skills for a set amount of gold.
To unlock the option to respec and refund skill points in the Path of Exile 2 passive skill tree, you first need to unlock The Hooded One, an NPC found in the main Clearfell camp. They won’t, however, be available straight away and you need to move through the main story to reach a quest that leads to unlocking the character.
The quest can be found in Act 1 of the campaign and is called ‘The Mysterious Shade’. Check our how long is Path of Exile 2 guide to see when you can expect to reach it, but it should take around 4–5 hours. Once you’ve finished the quest, bring the Count Lachlann’s ring back to Una to unlock The Hooded One. You can then interact with The Hooded One and pay gold to refund your skill points in the passive skill tree.
Now you know how to respec in Path of Exile 2, here’s how ascension skills work in PoE 2, and the best builds for the Path of Exile 2 Witch class, Monk class, and Warrior class we’ve seen so far.
