While the narrative depth in Path of Exile 2 might not match the intricacies of The Witcher 3, the game still offers engaging side quests that challenge players. One such quest, Ancient Vows, appears simple at first glance but can be perplexing due to its vague instructions.

In Path of Exile 2, quests typically require you to visit a specific location and defeat a designated boss. Ancient Vows follows this pattern, yet it leaves players without clear directions on where to go or whom to confront. Fortunately, with our guide, completing this quest becomes manageable!
The Ancient Vows quest automatically enters your journal upon acquiring either the Sun Clan Relic or the Kabala Clan Relic. These artifacts are concealed within the perilous Bone Pits and Keth areas. To secure them, you must delve deep into these zones, overcoming waves of enemies and meticulously exploring every corner.
The relics are dropped randomly by the creatures within these areas, so expect a challenging search that tests your patience and skill. Once you've obtained one of the relics, your journey continues to the Valley of the Titans—an enigmatic and hazardous locale where the quest reaches its climax. Ensure you're fully prepared for the challenges ahead!

Given the game's randomly generated maps, pinpointing the exact location is impossible. However, here are some tips: Upon entering the Valley of the Titans, explore until you locate a waypoint. Nearby, you should find a large statue with an altar. To place the relics, highlight them and drag them into the appropriate slots.
Your rewards are swift to arrive, offering a choice between two passive effects:
If you reconsider your initial choice, you can switch to the alternative effect. This requires returning to the altar where you made your first selection. Be ready, as this journey back might involve navigating through hostile territory. The effort to change your decision is part of the adventure itself!

At first, these rewards might seem modest, but understanding the role of Charms in Path of Exile 2 reveals their importance. Charms, like flasks, consume Charges, and the bonus from Ancient Vows can extend your endurance in tough battles. If your Mana Flask frequently depletes during intense fights, the second bonus becomes more appealing.
