Quests in Path of Exile are very simplistic, as we are already accustomed to from similar online game. This article will give you an overview of quest objectives just in case you missed something in game. It’s always best to finish all possible quests within an act, as some give out rewards you don’t want to miss out on, such as skill gems, respec points or even permanent stat bonuses and passive skill points. Some missions can also be completed in more than one way and may have different rewards, so if you’re ever in doubt be sure to find your quest in this guide and read about it.

Act I

Enemy at the Gate
This quest is given to you upon meeting Hillock at the end of Twilight Strand; Defeating him will grant you access to Lioneye’s Watch (first NPC hub).
Talk to Tarkleigh in Lioneye’s Watch to claim your first skill gem as reward.
Mercy Mission

This quest log is given to you by Bestel in Lioneye’s Watch.
It requires you to travel to Tidal Island (entrance located in Terraces -> Tidal Island) and locate then kill Hailrake the Scavenger.

His corpse will contain the quest item Medicine Chest.

Return to the Lioneye’s Watch and talk to Nessa to receive a (difficulty based) unidentified magical flask as well as Tarkleigh for a skill gem as your reward.

Breaking Some Eggs
This quest is given to you upon discovering your first Glyph within one of the three Rhoa Nest (appearing a bright green dot on your map) located within the Mud Flats (entrance located in Terraces -> Mud Flats).

Once you have collected all three Glyph proceed to the Strange Glyph Wall which will open up the way for you to progress to the Submerged Passage LvL1.
Talk to Tarkleigh in the Lioneye’s Watch to claim your skill gem reward.
A Dirty Job

This mission is given to you upon meeting with the unique necromancer boss Kadavrus the Defiler within the Fetid pool (entrance located in Terraces -> Mud Flat) -> Fetid Pool).
Defeat him in order for your quest log to be updated ; You will now be requested to eliminate all monsters within the area.

Once you have done so, retun to the Lioneye’s Watch and talk to Tarkleigh to receive 2 respec points.

This quest is given to you by Tarkleigh after completing the previous quest Breaking some Eggs.
It requires you to travel to the Flooded Depths (entrance located within the Submerged Passage LvL 1) then kill The Deep Dweller (unique giant crab).
Retun to the Lioneye’s Watch and talk to Tarkleigh to receive 1 free skill point as reward.
The Caged Brute

This quest is given to you by Tarkleigh upon accessing The Ledge (entrance located at the exit of the Submerged Passage LvL 2) or alternatively by meeting with Brutus in the Upper Prison.

This is one of the longest quest to complete as in order to get to Brutus and slay him, you will have to travel all the way from The Ledge, then to the Rocky Climb, the Lower Prison, The Prison proper and finally the Upper Prison (which is thankfully empty otherwise).

Once you have defeated him, proceed further and exit the dungeon through the Prisoner’s Gate (The waypoint will always be just outside, down from the stairway).

Retun to the Shore Encampment and talk to Tarkleigh to receive a skill gem as your reward.

The Marooned Mariner
This quest is given to you upon finding the corpse of the Slave Girl (containing the AllFlame quest item and appearing as a large green dot on your map) while traveling in the Ships Graveyard (entrance located at the end of the Prisoner’s Gate ).

Once the AllFlame within your inventory, travel to the lower part of the Ships Graveyard to find the wrecked ship of Captain Fairgraves.

Upon starting a dialog with him he will turn into a unique undead and spawn several skeletons that will immediately attack you.

Once he has been defeated, return to the Lioneye’s Watch and talk to Bestel to receive your reward of 1 free skill point.

The Siren’s Last Cadence
This quest is given to you by talking to Nessa in Lioneye’s Watch after entering the Cavern of Woe or alternatively upon entering Merveil’s Lair and requires you to kill Merveil (entrance from Ship Graveyard -> The Cove -> Cavern of Woe -> Cavern of Anger -> Merveil’s Lair.

Note that Merveil can be somewhat hard to kill if you encounter her unprepared as she use both melee & ranged attacks while in siren’s form (her ranged attack include both Fireball & Cold Snap).
It is highly recommended to equip gears with cold resist for this fight.

Once you have defeated her for the first time, she will then transform into her real form and spawn several monsters to assist her.

Kill her again (for good this time) and proceed further to claim the large chest then go through the zoning which grant entrance to act 2.

Act II

Contrary to Act 1 where progression is quite linear, Act 2 requires you to complete quests at several locations starting on either side of the Forest Encampment (Old Fields & River Crossings respectively).

The Great White Beast
Upon reaching the Forest Encampment for the first time, speak with Yena to learn about a beast inhabiting The Cave located in the Old fields.
Find the entrance of the cave (appearing as an orange dot on your map) and make your way through it until you encounter The Great White Beast ; Slay it then return to the Forest Encampment and claim an unidentified rare ring as reward from Yena.
Deal with the Bandits

There are 3 different bandit leaders which you can either side with or kill in order to get different rewards.

Kraityn: Located in Broken Bridge (entrance located in Old Fields -> Crossroads -> Broken Bridge)
Reward for siding with him is a permanent increase of +8 to all resists (excluding chaos resistance)
Alira: Located in Alira’s Camp (entrance located in River Crossings -> Dark Forest -> Alira’s Camp).
Probably the most difficult of the three bandit leaders due to her ability to summon zombies as well as her ability to use Corpse Explosion, reward for siding with her is a permanent increase of 30 Mana.
Oak: Located in Pools & Streams (entrance located in River Crossings -> Vaal Ruins LvL-1 -> Vaal Ruins LvL-2 -> Pools & Streams).

Note that access to Vaal Ruins require completion of ‘The Weaver’s Needle’ and ‘Delving into Sin’ side quests.

Reward for siding with him is a permanent increase of 45 Life
And finally you can choose not to side with any of the bandit leaders and simply kill each of them. If you choose to do so, simply turn-in the 3 amulets pieces to Eramir in the Forest Encampment. Reward for killing the three bandit leaders is a free skill point. My recommendation is to take the free passive skill point as it’s the most valuable reward.

No matter if you’ve sided with one of the bandit leader or if you’ve killed them all, completion of this quest will provide you with the quest item Complete Amulet which you will use on the Dark Altar to open the gateway leading to Act 3. (Waterfall Caves level 2).

The Weaver’s Needle
This quest is given by Silk in Forest Encampment.
It requires you to venture into The Weaver’s Chambers (entrance located in River Crossings -> Dark Forest -> The Weaver’s Chambers) and kill The Weaver (a unique giant spider) in order to retrieve the quest item Wicked Spear.

Once you have defeated The Weaver, be sure to clear the room and locate the large chest to be found nearby.

The reward for completing this quest is a skill gem
Delving into Sin

This quest given to you by Greust in Forest Encampment requires you to travel to Chamber of Sins LvL2 (entrance located in Old Fields -> Crossroads -> Chamber of Sins LvL1 -> Chamber of Sins LvL2 -> Chamber of Sins LvL3) and locate the Strange Device containing the quest item Mysterious Skill Gem.

It is guarded by a unique boss-type monster named Fidelita the Mourning whom you are not required to kill in order to complete the mission.
Return to the Forest Encampment and talk with Greust to receive a skill gem as reward.
The Cathedral of Bones

This quest is given upon discovering the entrance of Vaal Ruins in River Crossing; completion requires you to complete both previous quest The Weaver’s Needle & Delving into Sin.
Talk to Greust Silk & Yeena in Forest Encampment.

Once you have the Wicked Spear & the Mysterious Skill Gem in you possession, roots preventing access to Vaal Ruins will be cleared allowing you to progress further.
Through Sacred Ground

This quest log given to you by Yeena in Forest Encampment requires you to travel to Church Dungeon Lvl 2 (entrance located in Crossroad -> Fellshrine Ruins -> Church Dungeon Lvl 1) and locate the Altar containing the quest item Golden Hand.

Once you have acquired the Golden Hand simply return to Yeena to receive 2 free respec points.

Act III

Lost In Love
Upon arriving to the encampment of Sarn, speak with Maramoa to receive this quest ; Clarissa & Tolman have gone missing and you must investigate Sarn Slums to find more of their whereabouts.
You’ll know your nearing your objective when you’ll be attacked by a group of Guards and their commander. Talk to Clarissa and learn that Tolman has been captured by Piety and taken to the Crematorium.

Locate the waypoint within Sarn Slums and enter the nearby Crematorium.
Proceed to the level 2 and at the very end you’ll meet with Piety and her remaining guard escort.
Note that Piety delivers quite a nasty jolt with her lightning abilities and that you should probably get some resistances before you fight her on your first playthrough.

Once you have damaged Piety to about 1/4 of her health bar she will escape.
Investigate Tolman corpse to obtain his Bracelet and head back to Sarn to claim a skill gem as your reward from Maramoa.

Victario’s Secret
Upon completion of the quest Lost In Love, talk to Clarissa who has now returned to Sarn and she will exchange you the Bracelet for the Sewer keys.

Once you have the keys in your possession, you will be able to open the sewer grate and access the sewers located in the Slums, the Warehouse or the Marketplace. It is not important which one you access first as all sewers are interconnected.

Your next task consist in finding a large room containing a Stash (appearing as a green square on your map) which will contain a Golden Bust in each of the 3 locations listed above.
Once you have acquired all 3 Busts return to Sarn and speak to Hargan to receive 2 free respec points as well as 1 passive skill point.
