PoE 2: Light Radius Explained

Light Radius is a character stat in Path of Exile 2 which affects your visible surroundings.

What is Light Radius?

A character's Light Radius stat determines how far they can see in dark areas, presenting to the player as a circular area of vision around the character. Increases to Light Radius will improve the amount of area that is visible.

In Path of Exile 2, Light Radius also carries an important additional property which determines how close you need to be to notable locations such as doors on the mini-map in order for them to be revealed to you. If you have a higher amount of Light Radius, you will be able to reveal these points of interest from further away, which is especially useful during the campaign.

Note: brightness settings do not impact Light Radius.

Blind

The Blind debuff lowers Light Radius to its minimum value, significantly hindering vision in darker areas and making it much harder to reveal points of interest on the mini-map.

Note: Decree of Acuity does not reverse the effect that Blind had on Light Radius.
