Most quests in Path of Exile 2 involve reaching a location and defeating a boss. Ancient Vows follows a similar structure, but its vague instructions often leave players stumped. This guide will help you complete it efficiently.
Quest Completion:
The Ancient Vows quest activates upon obtaining either the Sun Clan Relic or the Kabala Clan Relic. These relics are found within the Bone Pits and Keth, respectively. Be prepared for challenging encounters; the relics are random enemy drops, requiring exploration and patience.
Once you secure a relic, head to the Valley of the Titans. The exact location of the altar is map-dependent, but look for a waypoint; a large statue with an altar is usually nearby. Place the relic on the altar by dragging and dropping it into the designated slot.

Rewards and Choices:
Upon completion, you'll choose between two passive effects:
- 30% increased Charm Charge gain
- 15% increased Mana recovery from Flasks
Should you change your mind, you can return to the altar to select the other effect. However, be aware this involves revisiting potentially hazardous areas.

Understanding the Rewards:
The rewards, while seemingly minor at first glance, significantly impact gameplay. The Charm Charge gain bonus enhances survivability during boss battles, especially when using situationally appropriate Charms. The Mana recovery bonus is valuable if your Mana Flask frequently depletes during intense combat.
