Blog Tag: Poe 2 The Arbiter Of Ash

When players of Path of Exile 2 enter the endgame from the first three acts, they will find out the real difficulty of this game. In the endgame, both bosses and monsters are much more difficult to deal with than the enemies in the first three acts, and they will die if they are not careful.

To face the endgame bosses, players not only need to prepare the top POE 2 items and the most perfect endgame builds, but more importantly, they need to understand the intelligence of these bosses.

The Arbiter of Ash is definitely the most difficult one among these bosses. Players need to complete many challenges to see The Arbiter of Ash, and the difficulty of these challenges is also not small. Players must spend a lot of time and energy to get to it finally, and then you have to taste an almighty boss with unpredictable actions and fast attack speed.

How To Find The Arbiter Of Ash?

When you first come to the endgame and open the map, it is hard not to be attracted by a red stone tower with a bridge shining. This place is the lair of The Arbiter of Ash, but you can’t come to this place at the beginning. You still need to advance the progress of the game step by step.

This red stone tower is called Burning Monolith. To open it, you need to collect three fragments from the citadel on the map:

• Ancient Crisis Fragment: Defeating Count Geonor in Iron Citadel
• Faded Crisis Fragment: Defeating Jamanra the Abomination in Copper Citadel
• Weathered Crisis Fragment: Defeating Doryani, Royal Thaumaturge in Stone Citadel

These three citadels emit different colors of light on Atlas:

• Stone Citadels: red
• Iron Citadels: blue
• Copper Citadels: orange

In addition to some regular POE 2 Currency, the bosses’ loot in the citadel will definitely include fragments, and sometimes more than one will appear. But the citadel will appear randomly on the map, and it may take you some time to find them all.

After you collect all the fragments, you can come to the door of Burning Monolith and put in these three fragments, then face The Arbiter Of Ash.

How To Defeat The Arbiter Of Ash?

Prepare

First, let’s look at the weaknesses of The Arbiter of Ash:

• Light Fire Resistance
• Light Cold Resistance
• Light Lightning Resistance
• Light Armor

The Arbiter of Ash is not only resistant to three elements but also has an amount of armor, so even physical attacks will not be very effective. And the boss even has 7 million health, how desperate the players are!

To challenge this boss, you need to adjust your status and build to the most perfect state. Here are some suggestions for you to deal with this boss:

• Movement Speed: Most of The Arbiter of Ash’s attacks can make a lot of damage, and will only leave you a very small safe area. You need to move there quickly.
• Life and Energy Shield: These can improve your survivability and increase the tolerance rate of this battle.
• Acrobatics: This passive skill allows you to evade all hits, and at the same time it will lower your Evasion Rating by 70%. This passive skill is very useful against The Arbiter of Ash’s large-scale skills.
• Dodge Roll Distance: Use items to increase your dodge distance, which can greatly increase your mobility.
• Maximum Fire Resistance: Most of the Arbiter of Ash’s attacks will deal fire damage to you, so you need to stack your fire resistance to the maximum. It is recommended that you use Exalted Orbs and Chaos Orbs to wash your equipment with fire resistance affixes.

Fighting The Arbiter of Ash

At the beginning of the battle, Arbiter will shoot a beam of fire at the center of the circular platform. You can attack it from the flank to deal lots of damage. Then he will start to attack with various fire bombs.

Arbiter will summon fire bombs, which will slowly fall to the platform. You need to enter the circle under each fire bomb before they fall on the platform.

When The Arbiter of Ash’s health reaches about 55%, he will pull out his sword from the center of the platform and start the second phase.

The circle under the fire bomb is still a safe zone, but he will release a beam of fire towards this circle, and you must jump into the circle within a short period after it is released. After the fire bomb explodes, you better get out of the way quickly because Arbiter will attack the circle.

Arbiter unleashes a huge wave of fire, leaving a straight safe path in the center marked by two blue lines on either side. You must get into that path before the fire wave explodes, and he will use this move multiple times, changing the direction of the fire wave. You only have a short time to move to a safe area.

Once you successfully dodge these attacks, Arbiter will summon a blue orb and a purple orb. After Arbiter pierces the blue orb, the entire platform will be covered in frost. He will attack while you are frozen. You need to get close to the purple orb quickly because it will explode and disperse the ice on the platform.

Loot

Once you have successfully avoided all of The Arbiter of Ash’s attacks, then congratulations, it’s time to pick up your loot. You can find the following unique items from a pile of currency:

• Boots: Ab Aeterno Grand Cuisses
• Body Armor: Morior Invictus Grand Regalia
• Jewel: Prism of Belief Diamond
• Scepter: Sacred Flame Shrine Sceptre
• Gloves: Sine Aequo Grand Manchettes
• Helmet: Solus Ipse Grand Visage

These items are dropped by chance. As long as you get one of them, all your efforts will not be in vain. Except for Sacred Flame Shrine Sceptre, which will increase your fire damage, the other items mainly increase your dodge, shield and other attributes, which you can use in your build.
