This guide details how to acquire the Ingenuity Utility Belt, a unique and powerful belt in Path of Exile 2. This item is not easily obtained and requires significant endgame progression.
How to Obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt
The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a unique drop from the King in the Mists, a challenging endgame Ritual Boss. To access this boss, you need the "An Audience With the King" item, used at the Realmgate on the Atlas.
Defeating the King in the Mists isn't guaranteed to yield the belt; it's one of five possible unique drops:
- The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
Beetlebite
From Nothing
Pragmatism- Ingenuity
The drop rate is approximately one in five successful boss kills. The difficulty of the fight scales with the tier, increasing the drop chance at higher tiers.
Alternatively, you can purchase the Ingenuity Utility Belt from the PoE 2 trade site for approximately 15-50 Divine Orbs, depending on its stats. This is a more reliable but significantly more expensive method.
Acquiring "An Audience With the King"
This item can be obtained in two ways:
- Trade Site: Purchase it for around 4-7
Divine Orbs. - Ritual Maps: It has a low chance of appearing as a Ritual favor. These favors are expensive (2700-3900 Tribute). You can defer the favor to obtain it at a lower cost in a future Ritual (usually within 1-4 maps).
If you obtain "An Audience With the King" but aren't ready for the fight, consider seeking a carry or selling the item.
Using Orb of Chance
No, the Ingenuity Utility Belt cannot be obtained using Orbs of Chance. It's a unique boss drop and not part of the regular loot pool.
