Finding bosses with buffs, here’s how to do it
To find the bosses in the game that have buffs, all you have to do is take a close look at the map in the game. All bosses that grant a buff have a small plus sign on the map in addition to their skull. If the skull is grayed out, you have already defeated the boss.
Here you can see the bosses of Act that grant a buff.
The maps in Path of Exile 2 are randomly generated. So your Act 1 map will look a little different. However, the symbols are always the same:
- Skull = boss in the area
- Skull with Plus = Boss in the area that grants a permanent buff
- Crate = Valuable crate on the card
- Other Symbols = Side Quest
This also applies to the underground map, which you can toggle on the right side of the screen.
Because the bosses in Early Access appear once in normal mode and once in cruel mode, they usually grant 2 times the specified buff. For bosses with different buffs, we’ve given both buffs.
