In addition to playing through the main story inPath of Exile, you will get the chance to complete Trials of Ascendancy. While these trials are important to increasing your power, it can be easy to put them to the side when you are in the first portion of the game.

Here, we are going to go over every Trial of Ascendancy location in Path of Exile, as well as completing them does for you. There are three main types of trials; we will go over where to find each one, but it’s important to keep in mind that map generation is randomized, so exact locations cannot be noted; you’ll have to seek each one out.
