Guide to the last five acts of Path of Exile, to complete the story of the game! Quest, labyrinths, pantheon, gems, leveling and bosses!

Preamble, craft during acts 6 to 10

Before showing you the course of the remaining acts, I advise you to repeat the procedure of leveling craft on Path of Exile on each new piece of gear you pick up. So remember to always return to your Hideout if you find a new room.

6 act

For the lore, this is the beginning of the second part of the story. If you followed the end of Act 5, you failed to kill Kitava and go back to hiding at Lioneye's Watch. From this act you lose an experience bar by dying, you will also have a penalty to all your resistances. Here is the order of the process of the act as well as the quests to be carried out:

1. When you arrive in town, go left to do The Twilight Strand bonus quest. You will need this quest to be able to purchase the gems from Lilly Roth. I make a specific point below in this article.
2. Exit the town to the right to go to The Coast, activate the Waypoint and go to The Tidal Island to do the quest and collect the skill point
3. Return to The Coast Waypoint to access The Mud Flats. You will need to kill a unique boss to get the quest item, it is located next to the old Act 1 passage to Submerged Passage. You can then open the door to The Karui Fortress
4. Go to the very end of The Karui Fortress to kill the boss and continue to The Ridge. You will now have access to the Pantheon (basic Y key). The bosses you kill will be inscribed in this Pantheon and you can choose a minor and major soul, changing from one to the other for free. All souls can then be upgraded on the map.
5. You will meet the Expeditions NPC, remember to do his quest
6. After reaching The Prison, go all the way to confront Shavronne, then go to Prisoner's Gate
7. In Prisoner's Gate, search the area to find access to The Valley of the Fire Drinker where you will find Abberath. Once his life is down, he changes area, follow him and face him again to kill him. You will have a pantheon soul and a skill point.
8. Then go to The Riverways then The Wetlands to face The Puppet Mistresse and collect a soul as well as another skill point
9. Return to The Riverways, pass through The Southern Forest then reach The Beacon
10. In The Beacon, you will have to bring the two torches to the end of the map to then burn the banner and talk to the NPC to access The Bring's King Reef
11. Go to the end of the map to reach the boss of the act

Labyrinth:

• Waypoint The Prison

Act Boss:

• Brine King is one of the most technical bosses in story mode
• You will have a lot of floor area with very little room to move
• Remember to take your level before facing him if you don't want to lose too much experience

All spell gems unlocked!

Once you complete the quest to clear The Twilight Strand and complete Act 6, you will be able to talk to Nessa in the town of Act 6 and buy any gem for near zero. The only ones that aren't possible are Empower and Enlighten, as well as Vaal gems. Otherwise, anything is possible! Even if you won't have all your pieces of equipment with the right holes yet, you can already start taking Cry, Spell Echo, Fortity, Auras, etc., all the important skills and support gems in your build. You can also put the non-usable ones on your swap so that they gain experience!

7 act

Here is the order of the process of the act as well as the quests to be carried out:

1. After killing the Brine King boss you will be The Bridge Encampment
2. Exit to go to The Broken Bridge and find The Silver Locket. You will also need to do the Alva quest.
3. Then continue to The Crusaderroads and activate the waypoint. Go down to The Crypt, passing through The Fellshrhine Ruins. Activate the Waypoint and do the maze. Also do the quest to get Maligaro's Map
4. Return to The Crusaderroads to kill Greust and receive the skill point
5. Return to The Crusaderroads and head north to The Chamber of Sins. Go to the very bottom to activate the map, kill the boss and collect The Black Venom. Exit the map and give it to Silk. Then go to the bottom of the area to use the Obsedian Key that Sin just gave you.
6. Then go through The Den then The Ashen Fields then The Northen Forest. You will be able to put on Grust's necklace to complete a quest giving an item.
7. In The Dread Thicket collect all fireflies then kill Gruthkul to recover soul and passives.
8. Return to The Northern Forest and then north through The Causeway where you will find Kishara's Star. Then go to The Vaal City then the The Temple of Decay to face the boss of the act.

Labyrinth:

• Waypoint The Crypt

Act Boss:

• Arakaali mainly deals chaos damage, so be careful if you don't want to die
• Its attacks are quite easy to dodge but go very badly if you don't have chaos resistance!

You have all the mazes to do your second climb, depending on your build and equipment you can try it right away or wait until you finish the story mode.

Epilogue

Once Kitava has fallen, you'll reach the epilogue. Go all the way to talk to Kirac and do his quest where you will have to launch a map. Once done, go back to your hideout and launch the maps from there! You can now attack the Atlas!

Cruel and Merciless Labyrinth, Ascension 2 and 3

These two Labyrinths are increasingly hard, respectively level 55 then 68. The time to do them will depend on your build, not whether it is more powerful or not, but above all adapted to this dungeon. For the first in Cruel, you will be able to do it before having finished the story mode, for the Merciless, you will possibly have to have started to take experience or equipment on the map and especially to have made the preparations to prepare for the maps.

The only difference compared to the first maze is that they are longer and longer. You may also need a Golden Key, if so search the area marked with a golden door, named Golden Door. You will need to pass a few traps and open a chest to find this Golden Key. Then continue as normal, always aiming at the top right.

The Merciless labyrinth for the third ascent

Preparing for maps

Just finished your story mode and can't wait to explore the maps? You will very soon be able to do this. However, I recommend a next guide on equipment to be able to start these maps well, otherwise you will quickly die. In addition to losing 2 experience bars, you only have 6 TP available. That is to say that if you return to 4, you can die twice in total. Since the guide is already long, I will make you a specific guide on the subject!
