The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a build-defining, unique belt in Path of Exile 2 that can be used in a variety of builds. Obtaining this item, however, is anything but simple. Players will have to be firmly in the very late phase of the endgame, with a build that can reliably defeat pinnacle bosses to even attempt a shot at obtaining this powerful belt.
Of course, if they’re rich as sin and have their Currency Stash overflowing with Divine Orbs, they can throw money at the problem, too, which is by far the more reliable solution. But for players who are hoping to obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt without opening up their wallets, here’s what they need to do.

How to Get Ingenuity Utility Belt Unique in PoE 2
Ingenuity
is an exclusive drop for killing the King in the Mists, the endgame Ritual Boss you can fight by using the ‘An Audience With the King’ item on the Realmgate in the Atlas. Inside, defeat the hordes of enemies to reach the final boss fight. If you are victorious, there a chance you’ll obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt as a reward.
Ingenuity Utility Belt is one of the five possible Uniques the King in the Mists can drop upon death, which means obtaining it is not guaranteed for every successful attempt. Luckily, it’s not uncommon either, dropping roughly once every five fights. His unique drop table is:
- The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
-
Beetlebite
-
From Nothing
-
Pragmatism
-
Ingenuity
The King in the Mists is an endgame encounter with multiple tiers of difficulty, with the boss’s power becoming more and more potent at higher difficulties and his drop chance increasing accordingly. The main difficulty of this fight is the boss’s ability to one-shot most builds with certain AoE attacks. Luckily, most of his attacks are the same as the King in the Mists in Freythorn, back in Act 1 of the campaign, which gives a good idea of what to expect.
Alternatively, you can opt to buy the Ingenuity Utility Belt from the official PoE 2 trade site for around 15-50 Divine Orbs, depending on the rolls. It is the vastly more expensive option, but if you have the currency to spare, it might be worth getting one with a very high roll.
Ingenuity Utility Belt drop chance not guaranteed, but not uncommon either.
How to Get ‘An Audience With the King’ in PoE 2
‘An Audience with the King’ can be obtained in one of two ways:
-
Trade Site/Currency Exchange: The price hovers around 4-7
Divine Orb.
- Ritual Maps: This item has a very small chance of appearing as Ritual favors in Ritual maps. They are very expensive, however, costing anywhere between 2700 to 3900 Tribute, which often results in the player not being able to afford the item right away. To obtain it, you will need to defer the item by clicking on ‘Defer’ at the bottom of the ‘Favours’ menu and selecting ‘An Audience with the King’. This will ensure that this item will appear in a future Ritual at a lower cost. It should appear again within 1-4 Ritual maps, provided all other conditions are met. If you’re not able to afford it again, defer it until you can.
If players obtain ‘An Audience with the King’ but aren’t ready to face the endgame boss, they can ask for carries for 1-2 Divines from other players, which will net them Ritual points on the Atlas and some rewards or sell it.
