How to Get All Passive Skill Points and Bonuses in Path of Exile 2

Act 1 Passive Skill Points and Bonuses

Here are all the passive skill points and permanent bonuses available in Act 1:

There are only four passive skill points here, and they are hard to miss. You want to prioritize Beira of the Rotten Pack, though, since the Cold Resistance will help youbeat Count Geonor, especially considering how hard it is to get some good resistance early in the campaign.

Act 3 Passive Skill Points and Bonuses

Here are all the passive skill points and permanent bonuses available in Act 3:

Ignagduk, the Bog Witch, should help you get some auras active at this point in the campaign. Most players rush to it to get a massive power spike in their build. The Slithering Dead quest is a bit annoying as you need to look for the vial and the bonuses aren’t that useful until probably in the endgame.

Cruel Difficulty Passive Skill Points and Bonuses

The cruel difficulty repeats Act 1-3, and you’re able to get all the passive skill points from the same bosses and objectives written above. There are only a few differences when it comes to permanent bonuses.

Candlemass, the Living Rite, gives more maximum life, and Ignagduk, the Bog Witch, gives more Spirit. The Slithering Dead quest becomes more worth it as +5 to all attributes or +10% to Chaos Resistance is incredibly strong, especially since you are preparing for the endgame already.

It is also worth noting that Cruel difficulty is a “temporary” thing. Since Path of Exile 2 is in early access, only Acts 1-3 are available. Once the game releases, there will be Acts 4-6, which will replace the Cruel difficulty section.

The bonuses and passive skill points might also change in the future. This guide will be updated as soon as the next half of the campaign is released.
