The Trail of Corruption is a really challenging quest inPath of Exile 2, and completing it can be a difficult task to complete.
In this quest, you’ll come across a challenging enemy in the form of The Executioner. In my books, he’s certainly the hardest boss to encounter, but he’s not invincible. You’ll have to approach the boss in a strategic fashion, which will allow you to avoid damage and finish him off.
How to begin the Trail of Corruption in Path of Exile 2
You’ll have to reach Ogham Village, and it’s a pretty easy job. Before you enter the village, look out for Una’s Lute. This is aside quest, and you’ll have to find a Lute that belongs to Una. There’s also another side quest that can be completed at this location. To do so, you’ll have to find Renly’s tools from his workshop.
Once you enter the Ogham Village, you’ll be tasked to search for Seed of Corruption. To proceed, you’ll have to locate the Executioner, who is present at the Courtyard of Death. Make sure you’ve equipped your best gear and your passive skills have been fully used.
How to defeat The Executioner in Path of Exile 2
You’ll get to see a small cutscene before the Executioner starts its battle against you. As I said earlier, combatting this boss can be difficult, and the first step is to be well aware of his attacks.
The best strategy is to use a kit that offers AoE damage. You will be able to bait the Executioner to take damage and do the main work for you. Also, it’s safe to expect a few failures along the way, as Path of Exile 2 doesn’t allow you to tweak the in-game difficulty at all.
How to complete Trail of Corruption in Path of Exile 2
After finishing the Executioner, make sure to grab all the loot that he drops and go to the platform. Then, free Leitis, which will complete the ‘Free the Prisoner’ part. After speaking with Leitis, head back to the Clearfell Encampment, and he will be waiting. This will complete the Trail of Corruption quest, and Leitis will be available permanently at the encampment.
