How to Find Olroth, Origin of the Fall

Olroth is the pinnacle boss of the Expedition content in Path of Exile 2. To encounter Olroth, you need to run Expedition Logbooks of item level 79 or 80.

Logbooks can be obtained by completing Expedition content or purchasing them via trade.

Logbook Layout: When you drop a Logbook into the Show Expedition Map window in your hideout, Dannig will offer the option to open it in one of two layouts.

Chance to Encounter Olroth: The chances to find Olroth are roughly 1 in 8 in Logbooks of level 79 or higher, though this is still based on community data.

Olroth Location: Once in a Logbook with Olroth, you will see a skull with blue eyes on the map. Blow it up to trigger the encounter.

Running the Encounter

After triggering the skull, you'll enter a Kalguuran Tomb. The area leading up to Olroth consists of a bridge, but the actual fight starts when you enter the final area.

Important: The remnants you choose before reaching Olroth will affect the skeleton adds during the fight, but Olroth himself is not influenced by them.

Preparing for the Fight

Bring a Freeze Charm and ensure your Cold Resistance is capped as Olroth deals Cold and Physical damage.

Two Key Mechanics: Olroth and the Triskelion Flame (a rotating disc that deals significant damage).

Strategy: Move around the arena about the Triskelion Flame while dodging Olroth's attacks. Always keep an eye on the flame as it telegraphs some of the most dangerous attacks.

In the higher tiers, Skeleton Adds will appear, and they carry the remnants from your Expedition, which can add difficulty.

Pre-Damage Phase

Basic Attacks: Olroth's basic sword swipes and his Chilling Slam (a cold attack that leaves a frost-bomb effect on the ground) are easy to avoid if you maintain distance.

Phase 1

Starfall Boomerang: Olroth throws his sword, which boomerangs back to him. It deals heavy Cold AoE damage, and being near him when it returns may freeze you. Strafe laterally to avoid it.

Impale: A beam of light shows where Olroth will charge, a basic attack that's easy to dodge.

Triskelion Beam: A cold beam targeting your location for about five seconds. The beam itself is harmless; only the spherical ground area under it damages you.

Starfall Carousel: The Triskelion Flame creates rotating beams that tighten inwards. Avoid touching these beams as they can deal cumulative damage quickly.

Frigid Flurry: Olroth releases three cold blasts in quick succession. Maintain distance to avoid or minimize damage.

Triskelion Bolt: On higher tiers, the Triskelion Flame shoots slow-moving projectiles that explode upon impact. Stay on the move to dodge them.

Summon Reinforcements: On higher tiers, Olroth summons adds that can vary in type, influenced by the remnants in the Logbook.

Phase 2

After "killing" Olroth, he regenerates about 2/3 of his health and enters Phase 2. This phase introduces more frequent attacks and additional abilities.

Skeleton Adds: In higher tiers, skeletons continue to spawn throughout the phase.

Triskelion Beam: A more powerful beam that cuts through the arena. Positioning yourself on the side gives you more room to dodge.

Ice Tempests: The Triskelion Flame shoots slow-moving projectiles that cause ice formations on the ground, which last for a short time. These create significant chill effects, so avoid them.

Loot Drops

Olroth drops several unique and high-tier items depending on the difficulty level:

Keeper of the Arc

Olrovasara

Svalinn

Heroic Tragedy

Olroth's Resolve

This fight requires a lot of movement, awareness, and preparation, especially as you progress to higher tiers where the difficulty significantly increases due to added skeletons and more frequent, punishing attacks from Olroth. Make sure you're well-prepared before facing Olroth!
