In Path of Exile 2, a player defeated the final boss of the game without any gear or weapons and did it in under a minute. The community is astonished, but the player himself sees it differently.
Who is it about? The YouTuber “isfooPoE” has recently been taking down the bosses of the ARPG one by one without any gear or weapons. His latest victim is the final boss of the game, the Arbiter of Ash.
The boss is known to be particularly stubborn, and it seems almost unimaginable to defeat the opponent in just one minute without any weapons or gear. However, the YouTuber has demonstrated this in a video.
Here you can watch the video:
Without Gear, But Not Without Build
How is this possible? In Path of Exile 2, it is indeed possible as a Monk to go into battle without any weapons. While this may not be the best way to equip your character, it has been taken into account by the developers.
So the YouTuber has also created a build that is designed to survive the fight against the strongest bosses in the game without any gear. He uses a skill that conjures ice blocks, which he then destroys with a dash to deal damage to the enemy.
The fight lasts only one minute in the video, but is only successful because the player is a professional who skillfully dodges most abilities. At one point, it shows how much damage the boss deals, making the build a glass cannon build.
How does the community react? The community is beside itself. Players find it quite incredible that someone has managed to defeat this challenging boss fight naked. For many, the Arbiter of Ash is already a good challenge with all tools available, where many have already failed.
There are also comments about the budget of the build, which is practically free of charge without any equipment, making it attractive for other players.
On Reddit, one player explains that the video only proves how bad he really is in Path of Exile 2, perhaps because he would never face this boss challenge himself.
The player describes his performance in the video description rather modestly: “I didn’t think I would be able to do this OP with zero gear. In general, this fight is not hard even with zero DPS and zero defense, but of course, it is fun to complete it as quickly as possible.”
Defeating the Arbiter of Ash without any gear is a real challenge. However, the YouTuber is not the only one with crazy ideas in the ARPG. One player simply played two characters at the same time: Fan plays Path of Exile 2 with two characters simultaneously, but his plan doesn’t work out
