A Path of Exile 2 player discovered a hidden device that sacrifices a level 100 character to grant the title 'Martyr of the First Edict' and gives all players in the same league a permanent skill point. The find, shared by streamer cArn_, has already been replicated in the current season league, sparking discussion about the game's secret systems.
Path of Exile 2 players have uncovered a hidden mechanic that rewards sacrificing a max-level character. Streamer cArn_ found a device in a room players call the 'BDSM chamber' that deletes the character on activation. After using it, his level 100 character appeared grayed out and unselectable on the selection screen. Returning with a secondary character, he found an orb that granted a permanent skill point. The deleted character also received the title 'Martyr of the First Edict' on the leaderboard. The title appears to be exclusive to the first player in a league to make the sacrifice, while subsequent players in the same league can still claim the skill point. The mechanic has since appeared in the current 'Runes of Aldur' league.
