Discover Strategies: Unlock Ingenuity Utility Belt in Path of Exile 2

Author: Adam Feb 01,2025

This guide details how to obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt, a unique and powerful belt in Path of Exile 2. Acquiring it requires significant endgame progress.

How to Get the Ingenuity Utility Belt

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a unique drop from the King in the Mists, a ritual endgame boss accessed using the "An Audience With the King" item at the Atlas Realmgate. 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, increasing the drop chance at higher levels. His attacks are similar to the Act 1 King in the Mists, offering a preview of the challenge.

Alternatively, purchasing the belt from the PoE 2 trade site for 15-50 Divine Orbs is a more reliable (though expensive) option.

How to Get "An Audience With the King"

This item can be obtained through:

  • Trading: Approximately 4-7 Divine Orbs on the trade site.
  • Ritual Maps: A rare drop from Ritual favors. These favors are costly (2700-3900 Tribute), but can be deferred to a later Ritual for a reduced cost. It should reappear within 1-4 Ritual maps.

Players obtaining "An Audience With the King" but unprepared for the fight can seek carries or sell the item.

Can Orb of Chance Obtain the Belt?

No. The Ingenuity Utility Belt is not found in the regular loot pool and cannot be obtained using Orbs of Chance. It's exclusive to the King in the Mists.
