The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a highly sought-after unique belt in Path of Exile 2, crucial for various builds. However, acquiring it isn't straightforward. Players need to be deep into the endgame, capable of consistently defeating pinnacle bosses.
Alternatively, a substantial investment of Divine Orbs offers a more reliable, albeit expensive, method. For those seeking a less costly route, follow these steps:
How to Obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt Unique in PoE 2
The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a unique drop from the King in the Mists, the endgame Ritual Boss accessed using 'An Audience With the King' at the Atlas Realmgate. Defeat the boss to have a chance at obtaining the belt.
The King in the Mists has a five-unique item drop pool:
- The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
Beetlebite
From Nothing
Pragmatism- Ingenuity
The drop rate isn't guaranteed but is relatively frequent (approximately one in five attempts). Higher difficulty tiers increase the drop chance but significantly increase the challenge. The boss's one-shot potential presents a significant hurdle. Note that his attack patterns mirror the Act 1 King in the Mists, offering a preview of the encounter.
Alternatively, purchasing the belt on the PoE 2 trade site (costing 15-50 Divine Orbs depending on item rolls) is a far more expensive but reliable option.
Acquiring 'An Audience With the King' in PoE 2
'An Audience with the King' can be obtained through:
- Trade Site/Currency Exchange: Expect to pay around 4-7
Divine Orbs. - Ritual Maps: This item has a low chance of appearing as a Ritual favor. The initial cost (2700-3900 Tribute) is prohibitive. Deferring the item (via the 'Defer' option in the 'Favours' menu) reduces the cost for future Rituals. It should reappear within 1-4 Ritual maps, assuming other conditions are met. Repeated deferral may be necessary.
Players possessing 'An Audience with the King' but unprepared for the boss fight can seek carries (often for 1-2 Divines) for Ritual points and rewards, or sell the item.
Can the Utility Belt be Obtained via Orb of Chance in PoE 2
No. The Ingenuity Utility Belt is not part of the regular loot pool; it cannot be obtained through regular monster kills or using 
Orb of Chance, unlike items like 
Astramentis/
Polcirkeln. It's exclusively dropped by the endgame King in the Mists and can only be acquired through defeating him or trading.
