Path of Exile 2 is a very difficult Diablo-like game. As an imitator, it is even better than Diablo in some aspects, and that is its boss design.
The only boss in Diablo 4 that can really bring a sense of crisis to players is Echo of Lilith, while many bosses in Path of Exile 2 can bring real challenges to players. In addition to those particularly powerful bosses in endgame, there are also many bosses in Act 1-3 currently open in Path of Exile 2 that can bring players exciting boss battles.
Many bosses in Path of Exile 2 are not main bosses, and they do not have to be challenged. Therefore, players who are immersed in the main quest may miss these bosses. Defeating these bosses can get good rewards, and many bosses will drop some specific currency. So how many bosses can players challenge in the first three acts?

This is Path of Exile 2 All bosses in the first three acts, their positions and rewards. In addition to fixed drops, each boss will randomly drop various POE 2 currency. When you first clear these bosses, some currencies will definitely appear in the drops. This is to facilitate you to build better equipment and avoid your game progress being stuck in the early stages due to random drops. At the same time, the rewards dropped by some bosses will directly provide you with passive points or improve your attributes. If you encounter a difficult boss in the main quest, you can try to solve other bosses first to improve yourself.
