Most quests in Path of Exile 2 involve reaching a location and defeating a boss. Ancient Vows follows this pattern, but the locations are not explicitly stated. This quest triggers after obtaining either the Sun Clan Relic or the Kabala Clan Relic, found within the Bone Pits and Keth respectively. These relics are random enemy drops, requiring thorough exploration and patience.

After acquiring a relic, head to the Valley of the Titans. Because map generation is random, precise coordinates are impossible to provide. However, look for a waypoint; a large statue with an altar is usually nearby. Place the relic on the altar by dragging and dropping it into the designated slot.

Quest Rewards:

You'll choose between two passive effects:

• 30% increased Charm Charge gain
• 15% increased Mana recovery from Flasks

This choice is reversible, though it requires returning to the altar, potentially navigating dangerous areas again.

While the rewards may seem modest at first, understanding Charm mechanics reveals their importance in boosting survivability, particularly during boss fights. The increased Charm Charge gain extends combat duration, while increased Mana recovery is vital if your Mana Flask depletes quickly.
