In the Return of the Ancients expansion for Path of Exile 2, players gain an edge over the Hiveborn with the Tree of Genesis — a powerful weapon kept in the monastery of the Keepers of the Flame.
In the story, the Tree was stolen from the enemy and gifted to the Keepers by the Dreamer; with it, Ailith forged a breach stone capable of piercing Hiveborn territory. But without Hive Blood the Tree began to wither — and now its fate rests in players' hands.
Gather enough Hive Blood to tend the Tree and unlock new paths for experimentation, specialization and discovery: the new system lets you craft valuable currency and strong items by combining different effects, as shown in a dedicated video.
