Which Elemental Offering should you take in Path of Exile 2?

One of the new additions to Path of Exile 2 are completable side quests and objectives that will grant permanent buffs to your character that extend through the campaign and into the endgame. In Act 2 you’ll come across a room with three elemental offerings. Here is which Elemental Offering you should choose in Path of Exile 2 Act 2.

All 3 Elemental Offerings in Keth, The City of Seven Waters

The best choice of Elemental Offering will typically depend on your current three Elemental Resistance stats, but a safe option unless you are Resistance capped which is 75% is to go with the Offering of Fire. While exploring the Buried Shrines in Keth, you’ll come across a room with a Sarcophagus, followed by a room titled Elemental Offering on your minimap. As you enter this room you’ll see three unique vases each with its own offering:

• Offering of Fire (Fire Resistance) – Ruby Ring
• Offering of Lightning (Lightning Resistance) – Topaz Ring
• Offering of Water (Cold Resistance) – Sapphire Ring

Choosing any of the three Offerings will lock you out of the other two, and this room will only spawn with the Offerings until one has been chosen. After choosing, you will have to wait until you reach the Elemental Offerings Room on Cruel Difficulty to choose an Elemental Offering again.

When you choose an Elemental Offering, a base common white ring with that Elemental Resistance type will drop. The next boss you will encounter in Keth is fire-based, so you can give yourself an easier time by choosing the Offering of Fire and getting some extra Fire Resistance from the Ruby Ring that drops. However, a smart long-term option is to open your Character Info panel and look in the middle where it shows Resistances. Chaos Resistance isn’t an option, and doesn’t matter too much until endgame, so look at your Fire, Lightning, and Cold resistances to determine which is lowest for you at the moment and choose that respective Elemental Offering.
