Let’s help you find the first Spirit boss:The King in the Mists. This optional boss is located in Freythorn (Act 1), where you can do a quest called ‘Ominous Altars’. Clear the three Altar Sites as instructed; upon clearing the third one, The King of the Mists will spawn. Once he’s defeated, pick up the ‘Gembloom Skull’ and consume it for a permanent +30 Spirit boost.

How to use Spirit
Unlike resources that constantly deplete and replenish, like HP and mana, Spirit is slowly increased as you play through the Path of Exile 2 campaign. Starting with zero Spirit, it’ll take some time to build a high Spirit stat. Although it’s fine to go without Spirit for a while, eventually, you’ll need it to unlock powerful persistent (permanent) buffs or minion support. You may use Spirit for the following purposes:

To allocate Spirit, you must equip a Spirit-based skill first, then activate it. If it’s a ‘persistent minion’ skill, be sure to click on it and select ‘set minion count’ - you can choose the number of minions you want, provided you’ve got enough Spirit. This Spirit allocation system is also known as ‘Spirit reservation’, as it’s similar to the life and mana reservations from the firstPath of Exilegame.
And that’s how to get Spirit in Path of Exile 2. Be sure to put Spirit-hunting on your list ofthings to do first in Path of Exile 2, and make sure you understand the othercharacter attributesas well. Don’t forget to use thePath of Exile 2 crafting systemfor better gear, abilities and stats either.
