Path of Exile 2: How to Get Ingenuity Utility Belt

Path of Exile 2 Ingenuity Utility Belt: The Ultimate Guide to Acquisition

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a coveted unique item in Path of Exile 2, crucial for various builds. However, obtaining it isn't easy; it's a late-game endeavor requiring a powerful build capable of conquering pinnacle bosses. Alternatively, a hefty investment of Divine Orbs can expedite the process. For those seeking a less expensive route, read on.

How to Obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a unique drop from the King in the Mists, the endgame Ritual Boss. To access this encounter, you need "An Audience With the King," used at the Realmgate on the Atlas. Defeat the waves of enemies to reach the boss fight. Victory offers a chance to acquire the belt, but it's not guaranteed. The King in the Mists' unique drop pool also includes:

1. The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
2. Beetlebite
3. From Nothing
4. Pragmatism
5. Ingenuity

The King in the Mists scales in difficulty, with higher tiers increasing drop chances. His attacks are similar to his Act 1 counterpart, providing a helpful preview. Expect challenging encounters requiring strategic preparation.

Alternatively, purchasing the belt from the PoE 2 trade site costs roughly 15-50 Divine Orbs, depending on its stats. This is significantly more expensive but ensures a high-roll item.

The Ingenuity Utility Belt's drop rate isn't guaranteed, but it's not exceptionally rare, dropping approximately once every five attempts.

Acquiring "An Audience With the King"

"An Audience With the King" can be acquired in two ways:

• Trade Site: Expect to pay around 4-7 Divine Orbs.
• Ritual Maps: It has a low chance of appearing as a Ritual favor. These favors are costly (2700-3900 Tribute), often making immediate purchase impossible. Deferring the favor ensures its reappearance at a reduced cost in future Rituals (typically within 1-4 maps).

If you obtain "An Audience With the King" but lack the strength to face the boss, consider seeking a carry service or selling the item.

Can Orb of Chance Yield the Ingenuity Utility Belt?

No. The Ingenuity Utility Belt is not part of the standard loot table and cannot be obtained through regular monster kills or using Orb of Chance on items like Astramentis or Polcirkeln. Trading remains the only alternative to boss drops.
