0.5 Patch Notes Hub

Patch 0.5 for Path of Exile 2 is the largest update to date, with a primary focus on improving the endgame. Read through our article below for more information!

Endgame Improvements

The Return of the Ancients update has a major focus on endgame content with a vast overhaul to the progression of the Atlas endgame and its systems. An introductory questline has been added to each core league mechanic such as Breach or Abyss, and each mechanic can be found in its own fixed location on the Atlas. There is also a new pinnacle boss for each of Breach, Expedition, Delirium and Ritual.

In addition to core league mechanic quests, there's a new primary questline and a new overhauled Atlas Passive Tree. The primary questline, Origins of Divinity, will have you battling your way through an ancient Fortress on your way to face a new pinnacle boss, The Arbiter of Divinity. Completing areas in the Fortress will award Passive Points to spent on the new Atlas Passive Tree, and successful attempts against the Arbiter of Divinity will allow you to automatically complete entire sections of the Fortress in order to immediately obtain larges amounts of points at once.

On top of the new tree, there's also a new Ascendancy-style system for the endgame, Masters of the Atlas. There are 3 Masters in patch 0.5: Jado, Hilda and Doryani. Each NPC specialises in specific mechanics and enhances your loot or gameplay in areas, but only 1 Master can be active at any one time.

Runes of Aldur & Runic Ward

The new league mechanic in patch 0.5, Runes of Aldur, will spawn Remnants into each area which can be interacted with to pull up a recipe interface. Each Remnant has a set number of Runic symbols which make up a selection of recipes that can be learned for future use. Each recipe will yield a shown reward, but it will also apply additional modifiers to Monsters spawned by this mechanic. Choosing a recipe will engrave the Runestones onto the Remnant, spawning Monsters that you must slay in order to receive your reward.

Aldur Remnant will also roll into Expedition encounters from Act 4 onwards into the endgame. Remnants can be exploded within the radius of planted explosives, triggering the Remnant encounter and applying the extra modifiers to all Monsters along the chain.

Runic Ward is a new defensive resource being introduced in patch 0.5. Runic Ward is essentially a hit pool that sits below your life - if you go to 1 life remaining, any Damage taken will begin to be taken from your Runic Ward instead. This resource is obtained by Runeforging gear such as Shields, Body Armours or Helmets, to add the resource to these items. In the endgame you can obtain much more Runic Ward by trading off portions of your other defensive stats on your gear pieces depending on the base type.

Additionally, this new resource is used as a spender for brand new Kalguuran skills which do not have an associated colour or attribute requirement, making them universally useful in many different builds.

Campaign Improvements

Changes are being made to make the campaign more accessible, especially in regards to subsequent runs during a league. Many areas now have subtle indicators to show you where you should be going, such as The Hunting Grounds in Act 1, which now has an indicator that shows you the direction of Freythorn upon completing the central Ritual encounter.

Additionally, some areas have been shortened, whilst others have been removed entirely or move to another connecting zone. For example 'The Dreadnaught Vanguard' has been removed, and there is now a single zone on the way to the Act 2 boss.

New & Changed Ascendancies

The Spirit Walker is a new ascendancy for the Huntress in patch 0.5, whilst the Martial Artist completes the full assortment of Monk ascendancies. Click the links to find out more details about these new classes.

Older ascendancies have also been reviewed, with the Gemling Legionnaire and Chronomancer receiving larger reworks. The Gemling Legionnaire will now be able to specialise into Skill Gem quality via Advanced Thaumaturgy by gaining an extra quality stat that no other class can access, allowing for some unique builds. Meanwhile for the Chronomancer, a much larger overhaul sees a powerful new self-cast option, Now and Again that provides a chance for Spells to repeat and echo, and a new defensive powerhouse in Phased Form.

The Runes of Aldur League

• Start fresh in a new economy with the Runes of Aldur league.
• In each area in the Runes of Aldur League you will find a Remnant which allows you to craft an item of your choosing by using Runic Recipes engraved into the slots on the Remnant.

Upgraded Unique Weapons will have higher damage, and Upgraded Armours will have increased base defences as well as Runic Ward. Allowing them to be more competitive at higher levels. Unique Armours above level 55 can still be Runeforged to modify their defences to include Runic Ward at the cost of reducing their other defenses similar to the base types.
• Unique Verisium Runeforging has additional properties when used on Kalguuran Uniques.
• Added 13 Ancient Runes which can be unlocked to be crafted by Remnant encounters after completing Farrow's quest in Act 4. These runes have powerful bonuses specific to each weapon type.

• New Endgame Story: Set out on an expedition with Farrow to explore the Ocean as you investigate the tombs of fallen Kalguurans and challenge them to earn remarkable rewards. Seek out the crater of a fallen star, a meteor of pure Verisium, from which you hope to forge objects of immense power… if you can defeat what awaits you there.
• There is now a hub area "The Ruins of Kingsmarch" for The Runes of Aldur to the south-east of your starting location on the Atlas.

• Many new underground areas have been added that can be uncovered during expeditions.
• Many new islands have been added with new Grand Expeditions (previously known as logbooks).
• Medved, Vorana and Uhtred join Olroth as the 4 Faction Leaders available to fight on new Islands that you can discover in the Ocean.
• Defeating Olroth will give you a key that you can use to access the new Pinnacle Boss for The Runes of Aldur.
• The new Runes of Aldur challenge league includes the first set of challenges in Path of Exile 2. Earn pieces of the Knight of Aldur Armour Set when you complete 2, 4, 6, and 8 challenges in Runes of Aldur. These challenge rewards are only obtainable in this league.
• From the 1st challenge onwards and for every challenge after that, you will receive pieces of the Runes of Aldur Totem decoration to display in your hideout. The Totem Pole permanently showcases how many of the Runes of Aldur challenges you completed during the league.
• All of your old characters from the Early Access launch are still present but a free passive tree refund has been granted due to the changes. We would highly encourage you to join the new leagues to fully take in the changes we've made with the 0.5.0 update.
• With 0.5.0, there are Standard, Hardcore and Solo Self-Found variations of the Runes of Aldur challenge league available. They have the same core mechanics and items, and you can create private league versions of these leagues.
• The Hardcore variations of Runes of Aldur are parented to their Standard Runes of Aldur equivalent, meaning if you die in Hardcore Runes of Aldur you can continue on in the Standard Runes of Aldur League.

• The Waterways levers have been turned into pressure pads that you simply need to walk over, and the final part of the level has the water pre-drained.
• Monster density in the second half of the campaign has been reduced, especially in the Interludes to allow getting through these areas more quickly.

Player Changes

• Bleed damage on players is no longer increased while the player is moving. This change does not affect bleeds players apply to monsters.
• Your maximum Runic Ward is now added to your starting Honour when beginning a Trial of the Sekhemas.
• The "Defences" keyword is no longer in use. Existing uses of the word "Defences" now explicitly refer to "Armour, Evasion and Energy Shield" to make it more clear that these modifiers do not apply to Runic Ward, Resistances, Block, or other forms of protection. This is purely a description change.
• Only a single Leech instance per resource (Life, Mana, or Energy Shield) can apply at a time. When multiple Leech instances are active, only the one with the highest recovery rate will recover you until it expires, after which the next-highest recovery rate instance will apply.
• There is now a limit on the maximum amount of damage a hit can be considered to deal for Leech. Hits that deal less than 40,000 total damage are unaffected, but if a hit would deal more than 40,000 total damage, it is treated as dealing only 40,000 damage for purposes of Leech calculation. The values of each damage type in the hit are scaled down evenly to reach this limit. This means that extremely high-damage hits stop improving Leech past a certain point, but increasing your leech percentage will always increase the amount of the resource you are gaining.
• The formula for chance to Deflect has been adjusted to provide better scaling with investment into Deflection Rating, with a cap of 95% chance to Deflect (similar to chance to Evade being capped at 95%).
• The new chance to Deflect is = 150*(1 - A/(A + 0.12*D)), where A = attacker accuracy rating, and D = defender deflection rating. This makes for a linear path, that gets rewarded at higher investments.
• Modifiers that applies to Allies in your Presence, such as those on Sceptres and the Grip of Kulemak Unique Ring, no longer stack in a party if multiple party members have Modifiers of the same type. This change does not affect the "Allies in your Presence deal 50% increased Damage" Modifier from the Leer Cast Unique Helmet.
• Parry, Shield Block and Resonating Shield no longer delay Heavy Stun buildup from decaying longer than expected.
• Melee Attacks can now only apply Splash Damage once per damaging area. Some Attacks create multiple damaging areas during use. For example, Whirling Assault creates multiple damaging areas around you as you move.
• When Minions are removed due to resources changing (such as weapon swapping), younger (newer) Minions are now prioritised for removal over older Minions to avoid wasting Minion cooldown abilities unnecessarily.
• Minions affected by Last Gasp Support or Tecrod's Revenge Lineage Support and Totems affected by the Unnamed Heartwood Oracle Notable Passive Skill can no longer die during the effect from taking further damage exceeding their Maximum Life.
• Stats worded as "when you collect a Remnant" no longer give you the benefits of these stats when an Ally shares the effects of a Remnant with you.
• Updated the name of the buff that Trinity grants to Affinity (as Resonance is the name of a Keystone passive skill). This is purely a description update.
• Archon Buffs are no longer inherently lost when you attack. This is now a property of Elemental Archon specifically.
