PoE Vial of Awakening — Path of Exile

Vial of Awakening is a unique vial currency item in Path of Exile, used to upgrade specific unique items into more powerful versions. Specifically, it can be used to upgrade Apep’s Slumber into Apep’s Supremacy. This process is carried out at the Altar of Sacrifice, located in the Temple of Atzoatl’s Apex of Ascension room.

The price of PoE Vial of Awakening is about 15 Chaos Orb.

How to Obtain the Vial of Awakening

Vials, including the Vial of Awakening, are exclusive drops from The Vaal Omnitect, the boss encountered in the Temple of Atzoatl. When defeating the Omnitect, there is a chance for multiple vials to drop simultaneously, making it a potentially lucrative encounter for those seeking to upgrade their unique items.

Rooms that Increase Vial Drop Chances

The chances of the Vial of Awakening dropping can be increased by upgrading certain rooms within the Temple of Atzoatl:

  • Poison Garden: Increases the chance of the Vial of Awakening dropping. The datamined value associated with this room is 66.
  • Cultivar Chamber: Further increases the chance, with a value of 135.
  • Toxic Grove: Provides the highest increase in drop chance for the Vial of Awakening, with a value of 201.

These rooms can be constructed and upgraded during Incursion encounters, which in turn influences the loot potential when the temple is fully constructed and the Omnitect is defeated.

Using the Vial of Awakening

To use the Vial of Awakening, follow these steps:

  1. Acquire Apep’s Slumber: This unique shield must be in your possession.

2. Locate the Altar of Sacrifice: The Altar of Sacrifice is found in the Apex of Ascension, a level 3 room in the Temple of Atzoatl. This room is an upgraded version of the Sacrificial Chamber and Hall of Offerings.

3. Place Items in the Altar: Place Apep’s Slumber and the Vial of Awakening into the Altar of Sacrifice.

4. Upgrade the Item: The Altar will consume both the vial and the unique item, upgrading Apep’s Slumber into Apep’s Supremacy.

Mechanics of Upgrading:

  • Always Upgrades to the Current Version: The Altar of Sacrifice always upgrades to the most current version of the unique item, even if the original item was a legacy version.
  • Item Level Retention: The item level of the upgraded item will be the same as that of the sacrificed item.
  • Quality, Enchantments, and Modifiers: These attributes are not retained during the upgrade process. The resulting item will have its default values for these properties.
  • Corrupted Items: You can sacrifice a corrupted item at the Altar, but the upgraded item will not be corrupted unless the original item was already corrupted.

Conclusion

The Vial of Awakening is a valuable and rare currency in Path of Exile, particularly for players looking to maximize the power of their unique items. With careful planning of Temple of Atzoatl incursions and strategic room upgrades, players can enhance their chances of obtaining this vial, unlocking powerful upgrades for items like Apep’s Supremacy. Understanding the mechanics of the Altar of Sacrifice is key to ensuring that these upgrades are performed effectively, allowing players to make the most out of their unique item investments.
