How to Reset Passive Skill Tree

Path of Exile 2, a much-anticipated sequel in the action RPG genre, introduces a host of new features and enhancements. This installment brings a refreshed approach to character customization with an all-new campaign and refined skill mechanics. Players are drawn into a world where intricate build systems elevate the depth of character progression, setting new standards for gameplay complexity.

Navigating this complex landscape often requires making precise decisions on the passive skill tree, which can be daunting due to the numerous options available. Fortunately, the game allows for adjustments, offering players the opportunity to rectify mistakes or modify their strategy if initial choices don't align with their evolving gameplay vision.

Unlocking the Mysterious Character in Path of Exile 2

The Hooded One serves as a pivotal non-playable character (NPC) in Path of Exile 2, offering players the ability to reset their passive skill trees. This mysterious figure emerges during the initial stages of the game’s campaign but remains inaccessible without fulfilling certain tasks.

To bring The Hooded One to life, players must tackle the Mysterious Shade questline led by Una. This involves completing key objectives:

  • Complete the „Secrets in the Dark“ quest.
  • Summon and converse with Una to remove the roots.
  • Traverse the Grim Tangle.
  • Locate the Count’s resting site beyond the Memorial Gate.
  • Deliver Count Lachlann’s Ring to Una.

Players will acquire Count Lachlann’s Ring upon defeating Lachlann of Endless Lament. Bringing this ring to Una at the Clearfell Encampment will trigger the revival of The Hooded One, who then becomes a continual presence in town.

Adjusting Path of Exile 2's Passive Skill Tree

To modify the passive skill tree in Path of Exile 2, players should interact with the Hooded One. By engaging with him and selecting the Refund Passives option, they can access the skill tree interface. Here, they can see all their passive skill points and decide which ones to undo.

Resetting each skill point involves a fee in gold, which varies based on the number of points being refunded. Strategic planning is vital to minimize unnecessary expenditures. Once the player decides and pays the required gold, the chosen points will be refunded. This allows for a reevaluation and customization of the character's build.
