In focus for the 0.1.1 early access patch is an expansion to the title’s endgame offerings. Specifically, devs are adding four new Tower Map areas and bumping up spawns across the bulk of the game’s Maps. From more monsters to (vastly) more loot, PoE 2 players can expect a more rewarding experience from running maps at higher levels, especially whenfarming for PoE 2 currency.

Devs have also added more respawn attempts for the Arbiter of Ash boss and have hit him with the nerfhammer a touch to bring him back into line. You’ll still need to commit to the entire run in one go, but with extra respawns this already punishing boss will be a little easier to tackle.

Armour, once an important stat back in the game’s prequel, has been weak since the launch of PoE 2 in early access. Today’s buff will see the effectiveness of Armour increased by 15%.
