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 progression and resources.
How to Get the Ingenuity Utility Belt
The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a unique drop from the King in the Mists, a challenging endgame Ritual Boss. To fight him, you need the "An Audience With the King" item, used on a Realmgate in the Atlas.
The King in the Mists has a unique drop table including:
- The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
- Beetlebite
- From Nothing
- Pragmatism
- Ingenuity
The Ingenuity Utility Belt is one of five possible unique drops, with an approximate drop rate of one in five attempts. Higher difficulty tiers increase the drop chance but also significantly increase the boss's difficulty. His attacks are similar to the King in the Mists encountered earlier in the game, providing a reference point for preparation.
Alternatively, you can purchase the Ingenuity Utility Belt from the PoE 2 trade site for approximately 15-50 Divine Orbs, depending on its stats. This is a significantly more expensive but reliable method.
How to Get 'An Audience With the King'
This item can be acquired in two ways:
- Trade Site: Costs roughly 4-7 Divine Orbs.
- Ritual Maps: A low chance drop from Ritual favors. These favors are expensive (2700-3900 Tribute). You can defer the item to obtain it at a lower cost in a future Ritual (usually within 1-4 maps).
If you obtain "An Audience With the King" but are unprepared for the boss fight, consider seeking a carry service or selling the item.
Can You Get the Utility Belt Using Orb of Chance?
No. The Ingenuity Utility Belt is not part of the regular loot pool and cannot be obtained through Orb of Chance.
