Unlocking a Hideout in Path of Exile 2 is a challenging yet rewarding endeavor. Here are the steps you need to follow:

• Complete Act III twice, once on Normal and once on Hard difficulty.

To access your personal base, navigate to the waypoint menu and select the Fleur-de-lis symbol on the right side of the screen. Alternatively, you can use a more direct method by typing the command /hideout in the game chat.

What Types of Hideouts Exist?

Upon unlocking your first Hideout, you'll start with a single type of personal base. To access additional hideouts, you'll need to continue exploring the Atlas of Worlds and find new maps with Hideout symbols. Eventually, you can collect all four types:

• Felled
• Limestone
• Shrine
• Canal

To switch to a new type, interact with NPC Alva and select the appropriate option from the menu.

Hideout Customization

Once you have access to your Hideout in Path of Exile 2, you can let your creativity soar by customizing and arranging your space. You have the freedom to place objects and NPCs, rotate and move items, add new decorations, and replace existing ones. There's also the option to import designs from other players or export your own to share with friends!

For optimal functionality, consider placing key NPCs like Doryani for item identification, Ketzuli for disenchanting items, and Alva for currency exchange near the entrance. Don't forget to set up Stashes and a Waypoint. While efficiency is crucial, also pay attention to the aesthetics of your base, as other players may visit and appreciate your design.
