All Path of Exile 2 bosses in Act Two
This list will help you find every Path of Exile 2 boss located in Act 2
Looking for Act Two bosses in Path of Exile 2? If you thought Act One was tough, brace yourself for the abominations that await in Act Two. Just like the first act of the campaign, some Act Two bosses are optional and therefore missable. If you want as many rewards as you can get, including Skill Gems and extra passive skill points, be sure to pay them a visit.
Finding optional bosses can be tricky, so here's a list of all Path of Exile 2 bosses in Act Two, complete with their rewards.
All Act Two bosses
The list below includes every boss you can find in Act Two of the Path of Exile 2 campaign. They're listed in order of appearance, so if you missed any of these bosses, be sure to travel back to their map to track them down. Every boss drops random loot upon defeat, which is typically a variety of gold and gear, so we've only listed their unique drops under 'rewards'. Upon slaying Rudja, for example, you will always get an Uncut Skill Gem plus a bunch of random rewards.

Although it's best to defeat all of these Act Two bosses and claim as many rewards as possible, we recommend fighting at least the following optional ones: Balbala the Traitor, whose defeat will unlock the Trial of the Sekhemas, and Kabala, who drops a Book of Specialisation that grants two passive skill points).
