How to Use Ritual Altars in PoE2

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

Ritual is a league mechanic where you fight to earn currency, then spend it rerolling rewards at an altar.

Why this matters

Rerolling rewards at the altar can turn a modest payout into a great one.

Step-by-step

  1. Kill enemies to build your ritual currency.
  2. Do not spend it until you have a good pool.
  3. Use the altar to reroll the reward options.
  4. Take the reward when it matches your goal.
  5. Save currency to reroll multiple times.
  6. Leave if the rewards stay poor.

Key tips

  • Build currency before spending
  • Reroll for the reward you want
  • Take good rewards early
  • Leave on poor options

Common mistakes

  • Spending ritual currency too early
  • Taking the first weak reward
  • Rerolling with no currency saved

Practical notes

Ritual altars offer tribute choices after clearing a circle, so defer the items you cannot afford and pay for them later in the same map. Prioritize currency and uniques over filler.

Use ritual as a steady source of gear and currency without relying on random drops. Stack ritual affinity to raise the rewards. A ritual run converts clear speed into targeted loot over time.
