As a seasoned Path of Exile 2 adventurer with countless hours delving into the labyrinthine depths of Wraeclast, I can confidently say that this little-known trick has been my secret weapon for securing top-tier loot without having to rely on the fickle hands of RNG.

In Path of Exile 2, the challenging work starts early unless you’re fortunate enough to have good luck with the random number generator (RNG) right from the beginning of the game. But here’s a clever tip about map instances that could be quite beneficial in your quest for increasingly superior equipment.

How to reset your map instances – Path of Exile 2

To reinitialize your map instance, navigate to any Waypoint and open your global map. Find a location that isn’t a settlement or fixed point, then press and hold the Ctrl key (on PC) while left-clicking the node. For PlayStation users, press the Triangle button when hovering over the node, and for Xbox players, press the Y button.

This action presents a menu of options, including returning to a previously active instance or starting a fresh one. Opting for the latter resets the map, offering new treasures, creature spawn points, as well as bosses. It’s a convenient method for efficiently farming loot from specific bosses or monster types.

As a gamer, I appreciate the feature that keeps track of my older game sessions. It shows me the remaining time before each session is automatically wiped, its creation date, and the server it’s on. This way, if I ever find myself needing to return to any of them, I can easily do so.
