Path of Exile 2: How to Get Ingenuity Utility Belt

This guide explains how to obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt, a unique and powerful belt in Path of Exile 2. Acquiring it requires significant endgame progression.

How to Get the Ingenuity Utility Belt

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a unique drop from the King in the Mists, a challenging endgame Ritual Boss. To fight him, you need the "An Audience With the King" item, used at the Realmgate on the Atlas. Defeating the King in the Mists offers a chance to obtain the belt, but it's not guaranteed. The drop rate is estimated at roughly one in five attempts. Other possible unique drops from this boss include:

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

The King in the Mists' difficulty scales, with higher tiers offering increased drop chances but also significantly increased challenge. His attacks are similar to the Act 1 King in the Mists, providing a degree of familiarity.

Alternatively, you can purchase the Ingenuity Utility Belt from the PoE 2 trade site. The price varies (approximately 15-50 Divine Orbs), depending on the item's rolls. This is a more reliable but significantly more expensive method.

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

How to Get 'An Audience With the King'

You can obtain "An Audience With the King" in two ways:

• Trade Site: 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 expensive (2700-3900 Tribute). If you can't afford it immediately, defer the item to obtain it at a reduced cost in a future Ritual (usually within 1-4 maps).

If you have "An Audience With the King" but aren't ready for the fight, consider seeking a carry service or selling the item.

Can You Use Orb of Chance?

No. The Ingenuity Utility Belt is not obtainable through regular means, including using Orb of Chance on items like Astramentis/Polcirkeln. It's exclusively dropped by the endgame King in the Mists or obtained through trading.
