Exploring The Drowned City In Path Of Exile 2
After activating the Control Levers in the Matlan Waterways, you will drain the water, revealing the Drowned City.
Head to the city and talk to Alva, who will update the quest and ask you to enter the Drowned City.
Enter the Drowned City and search for the Apex of Filth. You’ll know you’re close when a horde of Crawlers ambushes you.
Enter the Apex of Filth, defeat the Queen of Filth, and claim the Temple Door Idol she drops.
While exploring the area, you’ll find three randomly dropped mushrooms that can be exchanged for superior flasks.
Discover The Temple Of Kopec In POE 2
With the Door Idol in hand, head back to town, take the stairs on your right, and follow them to the Temple of Kpoec.
Once you enter, search the temple for the Vaal Repository of Knowledge. The temple has three levels.
The first two levels of the temple form a triangular layout, with the staircase located at one of the triangle’s tips.
It also features a massive, glowing archway called the Ziggurat Sun, which emits intense heat and deals incredible damage if you’re within its sight.
Defeating Ketzuli, High Priest of the Sun
On the third level of the Temple of Kopec, you will face Ketzuli, High Priest of the Sun in POE 2.
Ketzuli is a boss enemy with fire elemental powers, meaning all his attacks deal fire damage.
It is recommended to use equipment focused on fire resistance. He also lacks armor and is vulnerable to cold.
After defeating him, make sure to collect his loot before speaking to Alva, as it will disappear once you do.
