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, possessing a build capable of consistently defeating pinnacle bosses.

Alternatively, players with abundant Divine Orbs can purchase it – a far 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 Belt is a unique drop from the King in the Mists, the endgame Ritual Boss encountered using 'An Audience With the King' on the Atlas Realmgate. Defeat the boss after overcoming waves of enemies for a chance at this powerful belt.

The King in the Mists has a five-unique drop pool, making the Ingenuity Belt a non-guaranteed, but not infrequent, reward (approximately a 1 in 5 drop rate). The complete drop pool includes:

1. The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
2. Beetlebite
3. From Nothing
4. Pragmatism
5. Ingenuity

The King in the Mists presents a challenging endgame encounter with escalating difficulty and increased drop chances at higher tiers. His one-shot potential necessitates a well-prepared build. His attacks are similar to his Act 1 counterpart, offering a preview of the encounter.

Purchasing the belt from the PoE 2 trade site (approximately 15-50 Divine Orbs depending on item quality) is a more expensive alternative, suitable for players with substantial currency.

The Ingenuity Utility Belt's drop is not guaranteed but is not exceptionally rare.

Acquiring 'An Audience With the King' in PoE 2

'An Audience with the King' can be obtained in two ways:

• 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. These favors are costly (2700-3900 Tribute), often making immediate purchase impossible. Deferring the item allows it to reappear at a reduced cost within 1-4 Ritual maps (provided other conditions are met). Repeatedly deferring until affordable is a viable strategy.

Players with 'An Audience with the King' but unprepared for the boss can seek carries (often for 1-2 Divines), gaining Ritual points and rewards, or sell the item.

Can the Utility Belt be Obtained Using an Orb of Chance in PoE 2

No. The Ingenuity Utility Belt is not part of the regular loot pool and cannot be obtained through regular monster kills or using Orb of Chance, unlike items such as Astramentis/Polcirkeln. It's exclusively dropped by the endgame King in the Mists and can only be obtained through drops or trading.
