To access your personal base, navigate through the waypoint menu and select the Fleur-de-lis symbol on the right side of the screen. Alternatively, you can use a more direct method by typing the command
/hideout
in the game chat.
What Types of Hideouts Exist?
Upon unlocking your first Hideout, you'll start with a single type of personal base. To expand your options, continue exploring the Atlas of Worlds to discover new maps with Hideouts. Eventually, you'll unlock four distinct styles to choose from:
- Felled
- Limestone
- Shrine
- Canal
To switch to a new type, interact with NPC Alva and select the appropriate option from the menu.
Hideout Customization
In PoE2, your Hideout becomes a canvas for your creativity. You can freely arrange objects and NPCs, rotate and move items, and add or swap decorations to your heart's content. There's also the option to import designs from other players or export your own to share with friends!

Don't overlook functionality when customizing. Place key NPCs like Doryani for item identification, Ketzuli for disenchanting, and Alva for currency exchange near the entrance for easy access. Additionally, setting up Stashes and a Waypoint is crucial for efficiency. While optimizing your space, consider aesthetics as well, since other players might visit your Hideout.
