Path Of Exile 2

Currently Playing: What is The Beast? | Path Of Exile 2 Lore

The Beast is the most consequential force in the history of Wraeclast. And most players have never been told the full story. What is the Beast in Path of Exile 2? This Path Of Exile lore deep dive covers the complete two-thousand-year history of the Beast; from the god Sin who found it, to the Vaal Empire that twisted it, the man that once was Malachai that became undone by it, to the exile who killed it, to the seed now growing again in Path Of Exile 2. This lore video examines The Beast not as a creature, but as a lens through which to read the entire moral arc of Wraeclast: what happens when a god decides what humanity needs, without asking. This video contains full lore analysis with direct in-game dialogue, unique item flavour text from Path of Exile 1, and callbacks across both Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2, including up to Act 4 material. ⚠ Full spoilers for Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2 through Act 4. ⚠ Path of Exile 2 is in early access. Some lore details may change in future patches.
