Path of Exile 2's endgame demands significant preparation. Fortunately, the developers have strategically placed easily-missed encounters within the main campaign offering permanent stat boosts. These include passive skill points, weapon skill points, and, importantly, the Sisters of Garukhan encounter, granting a valuable +10% Lightning Resistance. This guide details how to locate and activate this beneficial encounter.
The Sisters of Garukhan encounter, providing a +10% Lightning Resistance boost, appears twice: once in Act 2 and again in Act 2 Cruel. Its subtle icon on the world map makes it easily overlooked. The encounter's location within the Spires of Deshar map is randomized with each playthrough, requiring thorough exploration. Look for a shrine resembling the image above. Activating the shrine triggers a combat encounter with metallic automatons. A nearby checkpoint allows for quick return if you accidentally progress past the shrine.
The +10% Lightning Resistance is granted instantly upon interacting with the shrine. It's not a dropped item or a reward for defeating the automatons; activation is immediate upon interaction. Remember to complete the encounter in both Act 2 and Act 2 Cruel for a total of +20% Lightning Resistance.
Many players are puzzled to find their resistance values remain negative despite activating the Sisters of Garukhan. This is because PoE 2 applies a -10% debuff to all elemental resistances after each Act completion (Chaos Resistance is unaffected). Therefore, completing the Sisters of Garukhan in Act 2 nets zero Lightning Resistance (the buff cancels the Act 1 debuff). In Act 2 Cruel, the net Lightning Resistance will improve from -40% to -30% after activating the shrine. To verify the buff's effect, remove all equipment and check your resistances in the endgame. A -40% elemental resistance indicates that you've successfully acquired all available campaign buffs.
