Looking to take on the Crowbell in Path of Exile 2? Here, you can check out a complete walkthrough on how to find and defeat him.
In this guide, we are going to take a look at how to complete Ancient Vows. This quest will trigger when you find one of two different relics, but it doesn’t matter which one you find first. We’ll start with the Kabala Clan Relic, but if you already have that one, you can skip this first section.
How To Travel To These Areas For The First Time
In total, this quest will task you with traveling to the following areas.
- Keth
- The Bone Pits (through the Mastodon Badlands)
- Valley of the Titans
In order to reach these locations for the first time, you will need to use the Desert Map on the Ardura Caravan. From here, you can select locations adjacent to the areas. Once you actually reach the location and find a waypoint, you can use this to teleport there whenever you want.
You’ll visit these locations while completing the main quest; you can either complete these at the same time, or take some time to complete Ancient Vows first.
Where To Find The Kabala Clan Relic
This relic is found in Keth. By defeating serpentine enemies, you’ll have a chance to find this item. Unfortunately, this is a bit random, but there are a lot of serpentine enemies here, so you may be able to find it just by defeating groups of enemies that you come across.
The relic itself will have a green name, making it fairly easy to spot. Once you find it, head back to the caravan.
Where To Find The Sun Clan Relic
This relic is found in The Bone Pits. Rather than taking the caravan here from the Desert Map, you’ll first need to head to the Mastodon Badlands.
Once here, explore the area until you find the entrance to The Bone Pits. By defeating enemies here, you’ll have a chance to get the Sun Clan Relic, which is also displayed in green.
What To Do With Both Relics
With both relics in hand, you can now make your way to the Valley of the Titans. Here, you’ll now need to find the waypoint for the area. To do this, simply run around until you see it.
Right near the waypoint, you’ll see an altar-type location with a Medallion. Approach this, and you’ll be prompted to add the two relics to the slots there. Once this is done, you’ll have the option to choose between two buffs.
Which Buff Should You Choose?
Below, you can check out the two buffs that you can choose from.
- 30% Increased Charm Charges Gained
- 15% Increased Mana Recovery From Flasks
Which one should you choose? There is no correct answer here; it depends on what you value. If you are playing a class that relies on Mana, then you may benefit from flasks that recover a bit more Mana.
If, on the other hand, you rely on charms, then this buff may be more useful. Charms provide a variety of effects on hit, and refills, much like flasks. As such, charms may not be helpful all the time, but this is a good buff to have if you are about to head into a tough fight.
You will be able to change the chosen buff whenever you want; just return back to the Valley of Titans and select the buff that you want to be active.
