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, wealthy players can bypass the challenge by purchasing it with Divine Orbs, 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 Utility Belt is a unique drop from the King in the Mists, the endgame Ritual Boss encountered using 'An Audience With the King' at the Atlas Realmgate. Defeat the boss to have a chance at obtaining the belt.

The King in the Mists has a five-unique drop pool, making the Ingenuity Utility Belt a non-guaranteed, but relatively common, drop (approximately one in five attempts). 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. The boss's one-shot potential presents a significant hurdle. However, familiarity with the Act 1 King in the Mists can provide valuable insight.

Alternatively, purchasing the belt from the PoE 2 trade site for 15-50 Divine Orbs (depending on item rolls) offers a more reliable, albeit expensive, solution.

The Ingenuity Utility Belt 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 through:

• Trading: The market price typically ranges from 4-7 Divine Orbs.
• Ritual Maps: This item has a low chance of appearing as a Ritual favor. While expensive (2700-3900 Tribute), players can defer the item to a later Ritual at a reduced cost. It should reappear within 1-4 Ritual maps, given other conditions are met.

Players obtaining 'An Audience with the King' but unprepared for the boss fight can seek carries (often for 1-2 Divines) or sell the item.

Can the Utility Belt be Obtained via Orb of Chance in PoE 2?

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