Act Two is Path of Exile 2's second storyline act, taking place in the deserts and ruins of the Vastiri Plains. In this act, the exile assists a Maraketh caravan in tracking down their enemies, the Faridun, who have gained possession of a Seed of Corruption. The exile must retrace the steps of the legendary Orbala to combat the foul magic the Faridun use to hinder their path with unnatural sandstorms.
After confronting Jamanra at the Halani Gates, the progression in this act is split into three different routes which can be completed in any order. All three routes must be completed to progress forward. These routes permanently increase in area level when the unique bosses at the end of the other two routes are defeated.
