One such quest is the Ancient Vows, which, despite its seemingly straightforward nature, often leaves players puzzled due to its vague instructions.

How to complete this quest?
The Ancient Vows quest automatically appears in your journal once you obtain either the Sun Clan Relic or the Kabala Clan Relic. These relics are hidden in the perilous Bone Pits and Keth areas. To secure them, you must delve deep into these zones, combating waves of monsters and meticulously searching every corner.
The relics drop randomly from enemies, requiring patience and skill. After obtaining a relic, your journey continues to the Valley of the Titans, a location shrouded in mystery and fraught with danger. Ensure you're well-prepared for the challenges ahead!

Given the random generation of maps, pinpointing exact locations is impossible. However, upon entering the Valley of the Titans, explore until you find a waypoint. Nearby, you should discover a large statue with an altar. To proceed, highlight your relic and drag it into the appropriate slot on the altar.
Rewards for this quest
Your rewards will be swift! You can choose between two passive effects:
- 30% increased Charm Charge gain;
- 15% increased Mana recovery from Flasks.
If you reconsider your initial choice, you can switch to the other effect. This requires returning to the altar in the Valley of the Titans, which might involve navigating through hostile territory once more. Prepare for potential challenges before making this decision, as the journey back is as integral to the choice as the choice itself.

At first, these rewards may seem modest. However, understanding the role of Charms in Path of Exile 2 reveals their true value. Charms, like flasks, consume Charges, and the bonus from Ancient Vows can significantly extend your endurance in tough battles. If your Mana Flask often depletes during intense fights, the second bonus becomes increasingly attractive.
