How to Unlock a Hideout in Path of Exile 2

Unlocking your Hideout requires completing several steps:

1. Complete Act III twice—once on Normal and once on Hard difficulty.
2. Unlock the Atlas of Worlds after defeating Act III's final boss and speaking with Doryani.
3. Locate a map with the Hideout symbol on the Atlas of Worlds. This is usually quick.
4. Defeat all monsters in the map area.

To access your Hideout, use the waypoint menu and select the Fleur-de-lis symbol (right side of the screen). Alternatively, type /hideout in the game chat.

What Types of Hideouts Exist?

Initially, you'll only have access to one Hideout type. To unlock others, explore the Atlas of Worlds for new Hideout maps. There are four types in total: Felled, Limestone, Shrine, and Canal. Speak with Alva to switch between them.

Hideout Customization

Once you have your Hideout, the possibilities are endless! Arrange and rotate objects, add decorations, and even import or export designs with other players. Consider placing key NPCs like Doryani (item identification), Ketzuli (disenchanting), and Alva (currency exchange) near the entrance for easy access. Don't forget your Stashes and Waypoint for maximum efficiency. Remember, while optimization is key, aesthetics matter too—other players might visit!

Congratulations! You're now ready to establish your personalized haven in Wraeclast. Enjoy customizing your Hideout to perfectly reflect your style and gameplay needs!
