Path of Exile 2 Ancestry Points Explained
In Path of Exile 2, ancestry points are unique passive skill points that you can only use to unlock nodes of your ancestry class. You can identify how many of these points you have by checking the upper right corner of the skill tree screen.
Ascendancy classes are specializations that you can unlock and give you a new segment of passive skills that can completely change the way you play. Check out our All Classes and Ancestry Classes guide to learn more about each specialization. Although the method for obtaining ancestry points differs from the usual method, you can always refund these points in case you want to try other combinations. Paying them back costs a little more than regular passive skill points.
How to get Ancestry Points in Path in Exile 2
In Path of Exile 2, you must complete either the Trial of the Sekhemas or Trial of Chaos to obtain more Ascendancy points. You earn the first two points when your Ascendancy class is unlocked, which can be done by completing one of the two trials for the first time. Getting more of these points requires additional work, however.
If the Trial of the Sekhemas is the first one you completed, then the next step is to move on to the Trial of Chaos and vice versa. The Trial of the Sekhemas becomes available once you have defeated Balbala, the traitora secondary boss that you can find in The passage of the traitor during Act II. Defeating them rewards you with the special item The new one from Balbala. On the other hand, to start the Trial of Chaos for the first time, search for the chimerical ultimatum registered. This unique object falls from Xyclucian, the chimeraa boss found in Act III in the Chimeric wetlands region.
Balbala's Barya and Inscribed Chimeric Ultimatum do not disappear if you fail the trials, giving you the option to try as many times as necessary to unlock your Ascendancy class and, later, the next two Ascendancy points .
Acquiring more ancestry points beyond the first four involves using two fairly rare items, Djinn Baryas And Ultimatum registered. These are tradeable items that serve as your keys to repeat both trials and will give you access to a certain number of floors, which are described in the details of the items you have collected. As you complete more floors of trials with these keys, you are rewarded with more Ascendancy Points.
According to YouTube creator wudijo, you need to use a Djinn Baryast to access at least three floors. While the inscribed Ultimatum allows you to access seven floors – although at the time of writing it reports that it is not working properly. You start seeing these items starting in Act II, but, unlike the ones you used before, if you fail, they will disappear. So prepare properly before using these items.
Good luck earning ancestry points!
