In Path of Exile 2, the item Sacrificial Heart takes up a lot of inventory space. We explain what to do with it and how to earn the two additional skill points.
Path of Exile 2 guides you through 6 different acts in the game’s story before you reach the endgame. In Act 3 of the game, you receive the quest item “Sacrificial Heart”, with which you can earn two additional skill points.
However, until you complete the quest related to the item, you cannot remove it from your inventory, and it takes up space. We will show you where to find the item and how to use it.
Here you can see the cinematic intro of Path of Exile 2:
Finding the Sacrificial Heart – Here’s how
To find the Sacrificial Heart, you only need to defeat rare enemies on the map Aggorat in Act 3 of the game. With a bit of luck, one of them will drop the quest item.
If you are having trouble finding the heart, groups of red, green, or blue mushrooms can guide your way. They indicate important areas within the map.
Some users also report that they found the Sacrificial Heart in the adjacent zones. So if you have already walked through Aggorat multiple times without success, you can also try in a neighboring area with the rare enemies.
Using the Sacrificial Heart – Here’s how to earn the two skill points
Once you have the Sacrificial Heart in your inventory, you should make your way to the Corruption Altar. You can find it on the left or right side of the map Aggorat. The side depends on the layout of the map you are assigned.
The Corruption Altar is always located slightly away and never on a side where you enter an adjacent area.
Once you have found the Corruption Altar, you can simply place the heart in it by left-clicking. Then pick up the dagger next to it. After that, you have the option to stab the heart. If you do that, you will receive the two skill points.
Some players have trouble finding the waypoint in Aggorat. To unlock it, you need to have progressed far enough in the main story.
Travel through the “time gateway” in Act 3 or over Clearfell in Act 4 (Act 1 Cruel). The “time gateway” mechanic must be unlocked already; otherwise, you cannot reach Aggorat in Act 3.
