In Path of Exile 2, improvement goes beyond simply leveling up. Acquiring superior items is essential to enhance your character’s strength, often more so than gaining a few extra levels. However, if you’re in need of more passive skills, there are numerous ways to earn additional points throughout the game. One noteworthy item in this journey is the Sacrificial Heart.
The Sacrificial Heart serves as a permanent campaign bonus within PoE 2, providing a direct route to amplify your character’s abilities. Yet, as with many features in this expansive game, utilizing this item can initially prove perplexing.
How to Utilize the Sacrificial Heart in PoE 2
Your journey with the Sacrificial Heart begins by using it as a quest item in a specific ritual aimed at earning free passive skill points. To initiate this process, head to Aggorat, located in Act 3, which only opens after activating the portal in the Ziggurat Encampment.
Upon arrival in Aggorat, prepare for battle against waves of Vaal warriors as you search for a prominent stone altar, watched over by an elite enemy and their minions. A nearby checkpoint will assist you in locating the altar. After overcoming the foes, retrieve the nearby Sacrificial Dagger, place the heart onto the altar, and interact with it. Your character will cut the heart open, effectively granting you valuable additional skill points.
Locating the Sacrificial Heart
If you’re on the hunt for the Sacrificial Heart, it can randomly drop from adversaries in both 400 BiC Utzaal and Aggorat, similar to the relics acquired during the Ancient Vows quest in PoE 2. Although it might take some time to obtain, once you have the heart, return to the aforementioned location to utilize its power. Be aware that empty instances reset within 8–15 minutes; thus, it’s advisable to remain in the map instance to avoid confusion while searching for the stone altar.
Accessing Aggorat in Cruel Difficulty
After defeating the Act 3 boss, the return portal from 400 BiC back to the Ziggurat Encampment will automatically transport you to the start of Act 1, albeit in Cruel difficulty. To use the Sacrificial Heart without having to progress through Act 3 Cruel, simply use a waypoint to teleport back to Aggorat while still in Act 3 Normal.
