Greek's Phase Run Pathfinder Pantheon, Ascendancies & Bandits (PoE Heist only)

Ascendancy

Optimal Ascension Points – Pathfinder

While the Eternal Labyrinth provides you with incredible boosts of power, on some builds more so than on others, it also comes with a dangerous road to a sometimes more dangerous boss. Whilst veteran players generally progress through the Labyrinth faster, I advise newer players to try and progress lab at the following milestones.

Normal Labyrinth – Nature’s Reprisal (Master Surgeon After Swap)

I would advise staying out of the normal Labyrinth before level 38. Ideally, you want to make sure you have a 4-linked Damage Skill, and to feel safe, I recommend a combination of 750 Life & Energy Shield. Veterans usually tackle this after killing Domnious and reaching Act 4.

Cruel Labyrinth – Master Toxicist (Master Alchemist After Swap)

Generally, I think levels are just a tad less important here. However, a good threshold is to check if your gems are going to be leveling up soon. In that case, you could be waiting just a bit longer to squeeze out that extra Gem or Character level up. Usually, I’d say after reaching Act VIII town and around 1500 combined Life & Energy Shield.

Merciless Labyrinth – Nature’s Adrenaline

This Labyrinth is as soon as you have unlocked the last trial in Act X The Ossuary. However, if you are sub-2000 Life, you probably should delay it for a bit unless you’re confident in your Izaro-Fighting-Skills. Make sure to be Elemental Resistance Capped at 75%, Chaos Resistance is at least 0% & to make sure you don’t take unnecessary damage from him.

Uber Labyrinth – Nature’s Boon

Uber Labyrinth is very hard to recommend. It widely depends on gear, character power, generic power in the skill, and so on. I suggest tackling this around 85, and you have found some defensive gear upgrades.

Pantheons

Enabling Pantheons

Pantheons get introduced into the game after the Mud Flats in Act 6, where you kill Tukohama. As soon as you’ve killed the Brine King, you should allocate it (Press Y to open the Pantheon page). Whenever you kill Pantheon bosses during the Campaign, you can allocate their benefits.

Late Game Pantheons

Recommended Pantheons for this build are Soul of the Brine King and Soul of Ralakesh. Which will we use until the Heist Setup, where we will swap to Soul of the Lunaris and Soul of Ralakesh

Upgrading Pantheons

Upgrading Pantheons is incredibly important for Character Power. Upgrading Pantheons is done by putting a Divine Vessel into the Map Device with the map that holds the Map Boss needed to upgrade. You can find which map bosses to upgrade by looking at the Atlas in-game. You can search at the top to highlight which maps are needed to fill out your pantheon.

To unlock these on our character, we would need a taxi service to unlock the map location and then a carry to kill the boss. This is not needed for our build. While the extra benefits are nice, the quality of life is not required. If this is your second character, they can be unlocked with your first, assuming they are in maps.

Bandits

Where to find

The Bandit quest unfolds in Act II, which is where you’ll make the first important decision for your character. There are 4 options to complete this quest. You can help either one of them by killing the other 2 and turning in their Amulets to the third, in which case they will grant you their bonus. Should you decide to kill all three of them, Eramir will be giving you an extra skill point.

• Alira: 15% Elemental Resistances
• Oak: +40 Maximum Life
• Kraityn: +8% Movement Speed

You can change your Bandit Quest reward by trading in 20 Orb of Regret and the correct type of amulet to a vendor.

Which one to use

This build wants you to kill Oak and Alira.

We will be helping Kraityn!
