While the storyline in Path of Exile 2 may not be as intricate and varied as that of The Witcher 3, it does offer engaging side quests that can challenge your problem-solving skills. A prime example is the Ancient Vows quest found in Act Ancient Vows. Although the task itself is relatively straightforward, its vague description often leaves players puzzled.

The Ancient Vows quest follows this pattern, but it lacks clear instructions on where to go or who to target. Fortunately, with our guide, completing this quest becomes much easier.

The Ancient Vows quest will automatically appear in your journal once you obtain either the Sun Clan Relic or the Kabala Clan Relic. These relics are hidden in the dangerous areas of the Bone Pits and Keth. To find them, you must delve deep into these zones, confronting numerous monsters and thoroughly searching every corner.
The relics are dropped randomly by enemies in these areas, so be ready for a challenging search that tests your patience and skill. After securing a relic, your quest continues to the Valley of the Titans, a mysterious and perilous location where the quest reaches its climax. Ensure you're well-prepared for the trials ahead!

Given the game's randomly generated maps, we can't pinpoint exact locations. However, here are some helpful tips: Upon entering the Valley of the Titans, explore until you find a waypoint. Nearby, you should see a large statue with an altar. To place the relics, simply highlight them and drag them into the designated slots on the altar.
Your reward will be swift! You'll have the option to choose between two passive effects:
If you later reconsider your choice, you can switch to the other effect. To do so, you'll need to return to the altar where you made your initial selection. Be aware that this journey may involve navigating through hostile areas again, so prepare accordingly. The process of changing your decision is part of the adventure itself!

At first, these rewards might not seem significant. However, understanding how Charms function in Path of Exile 2 reveals their importance in bolstering your defenses. Using the right Charms can greatly enhance your survivability during boss fights. Since Charms consume Charges, the bonus from Ancient Vows can extend your endurance in tough battles. Similarly, if your Mana Flask often depletes during intense fights, the second bonus becomes increasingly valuable.
