One of the main goals while progressing through Path of Exile 2 is to find ways to make your character stronger. While gear, skills, and passives are the usual ways, some small drops of power can be gained by being thorough in your campaign run. This can net you plenty of small permanent stats and bonuses. Every little bit helps, so we’ll reveal all of those permanent boosts that we have found so far in PoE2.

All permanent bonuses from the Path of Exile 2 campaign

Each Act of the game can net you a few permanent boosts. Since Early Access only has the first three Acts, you have to go through them twice – one normally, and once on Cruel difficulty. Still, some bonuses change due to this method. After going through the campaign, these are the notable bonuses you can get:

  • +24 passive skill points, which can alternatively be spent on Weapon specialization sets
  • +20% Cold, Fire, and Lightning resistances
  • +100 Spirit
  • Several choice-dependant extra perks and bonuses
