Maverick had to stumble around quite a bit before he managed to open the new Vault in the Reliquary. He figured he would share his findings here so he can spare others from doing the same.
The Keys to the Vault
The locked Vault in the Reliquary is a new addition in Path of Exile 3.25, Settlers of Kalguur. It’s a core feature, meaning this article is still relevant if you’re reading it during a later update.
To open it, you need 2 keys:
- Key of Devotion
- Key of Strength
Both keys drop from Chests spread around the Reliquary. These chests do not show up on your minimap. What’s more, they don’t look any different from normal chests – even their name is the same. That means you’ll simply need to open every chest you find.
I managed to find the keys with a moderate amount of effort. I had to try quite a few chests but it was not as extreme as having to scour every chest across the area.
Once you found both keys, click both Vault keyholes. After that, click the keys again to turn them and the Vault will open. It is guarded, but the monsters in it aren’t very strong. It’s not likely they will pose a threat to you unless they catch you by surprise.
What To Expect in Terms of Rewards
Once you enter the Vault, you’ll see a Vault Hoard and a handful of Treasure Piles. About half of the rewards are in the Hoard, while the other half are spread out over the Treasure Piles. You’ll mainly find Gold, Flasks and Rare items. In total, the reward tends to be similar to what the new miniboss in Fellshrine drops.
It is possible to load a new version of the Reliquary to repeat this side adventure. When you do so, however, the Vault Hoard will no longer spawn. Doing it just for the Treasure Piles likely isn’t worth your time, but of course that’s up to you.
