This guide details how to obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt, a unique and powerful belt in Path of Exile 2. This item is not easily acquired and requires significant endgame progression.
How to Get 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 boss, players need the "An Audience With the King" item, used on the Realmgate in the Atlas. Defeating the King in the Mists offers a chance to obtain the belt, but it's not guaranteed. The drop rate is estimated at roughly one in five attempts.

Other possible unique drops from the King in the Mists include:
- The Burden of Shadows Chiming Staff
Beetlebite
From Nothing
Pragmatism
The King in the Mists' difficulty scales with the chosen tier, impacting both the challenge and the drop chance. His attacks are similar to the Act 1 King in the Mists, providing a familiar benchmark.
Alternatively, players can purchase the Ingenuity Utility Belt from the PoE 2 trade site. The price fluctuates, typically ranging from 15-50 Divine Orbs, depending on the item's specific rolls.
How to Get 'An Audience With the King'
This item can be acquired in two ways:
- Trade Site: Expect to pay around 4-7 Divine Orbs.
- Ritual Maps: It has a low chance of appearing as a Ritual favor. These favors are costly (2700-3900 Tribute). Players can defer the favor to obtain it at a lower cost in subsequent Rituals (usually appearing within 1-4 maps).
If players obtain "An Audience With the King" but aren't prepared for the King in the Mists fight, they can seek carries (often for 1-2 Divines) or sell the item.
Can Orb of Chance Obtain the Ingenuity Utility Belt?
No. The Ingenuity Utility Belt is not part of the regular loot pool and cannot be obtained via Orb of Chance. It's exclusively dropped by the King in the Mists.
