Unlocking a Hideout in Path of Exile 2 is a journey that requires dedication. Here's what you need to do:

• Complete Act III twice — once on Normal and once on Hard difficulty.
• Unlock the Atlas of Worlds by defeating the final boss of Act III and then speaking with NPC Doryani.

To access your personal base, navigate to the waypoint menu and select the Fleur-de-lis symbol on the right side of the screen. Alternatively, you can use a more direct method by typing the command /hideout in the game chat.

What Types of Hideouts Exist?

Upon unlocking your first Hideout, you'll start with a single type of personal base. To access additional hideouts, you'll need to explore the Atlas of Worlds further, seeking out new maps with Hideout symbols. Once you've collected them all, you'll have four distinct options:

• Felled
• Limestone
• Shrine
• Canal

To switch to a new type, interact with NPC Alva and select the appropriate option from the menu.

Hideout Customization

Once you've gained access to your Hideout in Path of Exile 2, you can let your creativity soar. You have the power to place, rotate, and move objects and NPCs, as well as add new items and decorations or replace existing ones. There's even an option to import designs from other players or export your own to share with friends!

Don't overlook the importance of convenience. Position useful NPCs like Doryani for item identification, Ketzuli for disenchanting items, and Alva for currency exchange near the entrance. Don't forget to set up Stashes and a Waypoint. While optimizing for efficiency and time-saving, also consider the aesthetics of your base, as other players may visit and appreciate your design.
