How to create Dungeons in Path of Exile 2: Fate of the Vaal League Mechanics explained


The Fate of the Vaal League, introduced as part of the Last of the Druids update in Path of Exile 2, allows you to make your own dungeons, which completely changes how you played the game until now.

Having your own dungeons will be immensely helpful since you can be in charge of what the loot will look like. You can also upgrade the dungeons as you see fit, but first, you’ll have to construct the place. The complete process is pretty easy once you understand the finer nuances.

The process begins with finding Vaal Beacons that are placed randomly across different levels of the map in Path of Exile 2. They’re easy to locate: large disks placed on the ground surrounded by different bosses. To activate the beacon, defeat all the nearby enemies, which will also fetch you a reward.

Repeat the process a total of six times to open a portal. This portal will allow you to visit The Vaal Ruins, aka The Temple, where the rest of the things happen.

Making the Temple

Once you are inside a new version of the Temple by traveling using the Portal, you’ll find a Waypoint and a console. Use the console to open the dungeon map. You’ll find six random titles on the map. All six of these titles will expand when you place the Temple, and they will all have their unique challenges.

Select a tile, and you’ll get its details. The nature and rewards you get from a specific room will vary. Some of them will allow you to farm crafting materials and similar things, while others will likely have a workbench for you to upgrade your gear.

A few titles can also level up other titles that are adjacent to them. When a tile levels up, you’ll face a harder challenge for greater rewards. The ultimate aim is to reach the final room by constantly expanding the Temple. To do so, you’ll have to find and activate more Vaal Beacons.

Path of Exile 2 late game Vaal Ruins challenge

Once you defeat Doryani in Act 3, he will allow you to return to an older version of the Temple (as mentioned above). Your objective is to use the portal to stop Atziri, the Queen of Vaal. At this stage, your Temple is likely to have expanded multiple times, and there will be more types of rooms compared to the six tiles that you had in the beginning.

The more rooms you have, the better it gets. As I said, every room has its own unique use, and you’ll have to use them all to take down Atziri. While all these things sound simple, it will take time to reach the late game stage, and you’ll discover plenty of intricate details along the way.
