Trialmaster Prep 101: Using Your Deadly Fate Wisely

[Quincy]

To use your Deadly Fate wisely and prepare for the Trialmaster pinnacle encounter in Path of Exile 2, focus on these essential steps:

Securely gather all three Fates?Deadly, Cowardly, and Victorious by completing 10-round Trials of Chaos and defeating the respective bosses. Since only one Fate drops at a time and which you get is random, plan for multiple full runs or consider trading with other players to complete your set efficiently.

When you have the Deadly Fate, hold onto it until you can pair it with the Cowardly and Victorious Fates. All three are required to unlock the door to the Trialmaster?s arena; you can?t face him with Deadly Fate alone.

Before entering the fight, thoroughly prepare your character. Prioritize maximizing your elemental and chaos resistances, and ensure your life or energy shield pool is robust enough to survive the Trialmaster?s hardest hits. Optimize your gear by boosting sustain with life or leech mods, and have high DPS potential to contend with the fight?s length and intensity.

Set up your flasks for quick recovery and utility?especially those that can cleanse debuffs or improve movement and evasion, as the Trialmaster?s AoE effects and environmental hazards are punishing. Equip mobility gems like Leap Slam or Flame Dash to avoid large attacks and reposition quickly.

Understand the Trialmaster?s mechanics before starting. The fight involves multiple phases with minions, traps, and powerful area attacks. You?ll need quick reflexes, smart positioning, and the ability to stay calm under pressure, especially as the battle becomes hectic in later phases.

Only submit your Deadly Fate?alongside the other two?when fully prepared. Once the door opens, be ready for a multi-stage fight that tests both your build?s defenses and your gameplay execution. With the right preparation, your Deadly Fate becomes the gateway to one of Path of Exile 2?s most challenging and rewarding battles.
