Olroth, Origin of the Fall is a formidable pinnacle boss in Path of Exile 2, but with the right preparation, you can take him down and reap the rewards. Here's a breakdown of his encounter and the rewards you can expect after defeating him.

Olroth, Origin of the Fall: Rewards

Defeating Olroth offers valuable loot, including high-tier crafting materials and unique items. Given the challenging nature of the fight, it's a significant reward for dedicated players. Here's what you can expect:

High-tier Loot Drops:

Rare and Unique Items: Olroth can drop powerful rare and unique gear that can boost your build significantly.

Essences: These can be used to craft high-tier gear or upgrade existing POE 2 items for endgame progression.

Currency: Including valuable orbs and crafting materials that are necessary for progressing through high-tier content.

Olroth's Legacy: This might include new lore or special tokens that can be used to unlock further progression in the Atlas passive tree, enhancing your future Expeditions and encounters.

Skill Point Allocation: Players may earn Passive Skill Points for further specialization, depending on the challenge level of Olroth's encounter.

General Tips for Fighting Olroth

Utilize Fire, Lightning, and Chaos Damage: Since Olroth isn't resistant to these elements, building using those damage types will have a distinct advantage.

Armor Breaking: If you're a physical damage dealer, be sure to focus on breaking Olroth's armor to deal significant damage. Physical damage dealers will need to bring armor-breaking skills, such as Armor Breaker.

Avoid Chill Effects: Equip a Silver or Thawing Charm to mitigate chill and freezing effects from Olroth and his artifact. The chilled ground effects can freeze you, so maintaining movement speed or positioning can be crucial for dodging and avoiding freezing.

Stay Away from the Artifact: The artifact floating around Olroth can be a significant source of damage, especially when it begins firing wider beams of ice during the second phase. Keep your distance and watch for the "Starfire" warning to reposition quickly.

Olroth's Fight Phases

Phase 1:

Olroth will use melee strikes and chill effects to slowly whittle you down. Keep moving to avoid getting stuck on chilled ground or frozen.

Pay attention to the artifact's positioning and stay on the opposite side for easy dodging.

Phase 2:

After depleting Olroth's first life pool (five million damage), he will regenerate and come back with three million more health.

In this phase, wider beams of ice from the artifact and massive frost coverage on the ground will make dodging crucial.

"Starfire" will signal the artifact's next devastating attack, giving you a window to reposition.

Preparing for the Fight

Movement Speed Buffs: These will help mitigate the impact of chills and increase your mobility for dodging.

High Damage Output: The faster you bring down Olroth, the fewer opportunities he'll have to unleash his chilling and frost effects. Focus on maximizing your damage, especially during Phase 2, when his frost attacks will cover more area.

Once you defeat Olroth, you'll gain access to exclusive rewards, including high-tier loot and passive skill points to further strengthen your character. Make sure to follow the tips for positioning, manage your chill debuffs, and stay on top of your damage output to succeed in this challenging endgame encounter.

If you're looking for ways to keep acquiring those powerful POE 2 items and POE 2 currency, trading, farming-specific encounters, and leveraging Rituals or the Atlas system are great ways to boost your stash. Keep optimizing your build and strategy to conquer those endgame bosses!
