How to Run Expedition in PoE2

Updated 21 Oct 2026 Source Path of Exile 2 in-game mechanics and community documentation, retrieved 21 October 2026 By

Expedition is a league mechanic where you place explosives to chain big monster kills and rewards.

Why this matters

Ordering your explosives well clears huge packs and drops strong rewards.

Step-by-step

  1. Place explosives near large monster groups.
  2. Chain them so one trigger sets off the others.
  3. Place remaining explosives on high-value enemies.
  4. Detonate in an order that covers the most ground.
  5. Collect the currency and loot that drop.
  6. Reroll the encounter for better rewards if you can.

Key tips

  • Chain your explosives
  • Target big monster groups
  • Cover the most ground
  • Reroll for better rewards

Common mistakes

  • Placing explosives far apart
  • Detonating with poor coverage
  • Ignoring reroll opportunities

Practical notes

Expedition uses logbooks and remnants that buff chests, so chain beneficial remnants and avoid harmful ones. Detonate explosives to reveal and open chests in a line you control.

Run logbooks from the vendor or drops for the best rewards. Balance the remnant buffs against the difficulty they add. A planned detonation path maximizes currency without bricking the encounter. Expedition is a puzzle as much as a fight.

Chain beneficial remnants and avoid harmful ones, and detonate in a controlled line so the chests pay without bricking the encounter.

Chain beneficial remnants and avoid harmful ones, then detonate in a controlled line so the chests pay without bricking the encounter you set up.

Plan the detonation path so chests pay while the remnants never brick the encounter.

The currency guide and endgame guide explain how to profit from Expedition reroll and remnants.
