This guide details how to obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt, a unique and powerful belt in Path of Exile 2. This item is not easily acquired and requires significant endgame progression.

Quick Links

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a highly sought-after item, crucial for many late-game builds. While purchasing it with Divine Orbs is a reliable (though expensive) option, dedicated players can acquire it through gameplay.

How to Get Ingenuity Utility Belt Unique in PoE 2

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a unique drop from the King in the Mists, a challenging endgame Ritual Boss. Access to this boss requires using the "An Audience With the King" item at a Realmgate on the Atlas. Defeating the King in the Mists offers a chance to obtain the belt, but it's not guaranteed. The drop rate is approximately one in five attempts. Other possible unique drops include:

  1. The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
  2. Beetlebite
  3. From Nothing
  4. Pragmatism
  5. Ingenuity

The King in the Mists' difficulty scales, with higher tiers offering increased drop chances but posing a greater challenge. His attacks are similar to the Act 1 King in the Mists, providing a benchmark for preparation.

Alternatively, purchasing the belt from the PoE 2 trade site for 15-50 Divine Orbs is a far more reliable, albeit costly, method.

How to Get 'An Audience With the King' in PoE 2

The "An Audience With the King" item can be obtained in two ways:

  • Trade Site/Currency Exchange: This item typically costs 4-7 Divine Orbs.
  • Ritual Maps: It has a low chance of dropping as a Ritual favor. These favors are expensive (2700-3900 Tribute), but the item can be deferred to a later Ritual at a reduced cost. It should reappear within 1-4 Ritual maps.

Players who obtain "An Audience With the King" but lack the power to defeat the King in the Mists can seek carries or sell the item.

Can You Get The Utility Belt Using Orb of Chance in PoE 2

No. The Ingenuity Utility Belt is not found in the regular loot pool and cannot be obtained through the use of Orb of Chance, unlike items like Astramentis/Polcirkeln. It's exclusively dropped by the endgame King in the Mists or obtained via trading.
