How to Obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is a unique drop from the King in the Mists, a challenging endgame Ritual Boss. To access this fight, you'll need the item "An Audience With the King," used at the Realmgate on the Atlas. Defeat the waves of enemies to reach the final boss. Victory doesn't guarantee the belt, but the drop rate is approximately one in five attempts. Other possible unique drops include:

1. The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
2. Beetlebite
3. From Nothing
4. Pragmatism
5. Ingenuity

The King in the Mists' difficulty scales; higher tiers offer increased drop chances but pose a significantly greater challenge. His attacks are similar to the Act 1 King in the Mists, offering some familiarity.

Alternatively, you can purchase the Ingenuity Utility Belt from the PoE 2 trade site. Expect to pay 15-50 Divine Orbs, depending on the item's stats. This is a costly but reliable method.

Acquiring 'An Audience With the King'

"An Audience With the King" can be obtained through:

• Trade Site: Approximately 4-7 Divine Orbs.
• Ritual Maps: A rare drop from Ritual favors. These favors are expensive (2700-3900 Tribute). If you can't afford it immediately, use the "Defer" option to obtain it at a lower cost in future Rituals (usually within 1-4 maps).

If you acquire "An Audience With the King" but aren't ready for the fight, consider seeking a carry service or selling the item.

Can Orb of Chance Yield the Belt?

No. The Ingenuity Utility Belt is not in the standard loot pool and cannot be obtained via Orb of Chance, unlike items such as Astramentis or Polcirkeln. Trading remains the only alternative to obtaining it outside of defeating the King in the Mists.
