PoE 2 Boss Guide: The Blind Beast Strategy & Drops

The Blind Beast is a ferocious optional boss encountered in the Primal Arena on the Isle of Kin in Act 4 of Path of Exile 2. This massive, eyeless monstrosity is worshipped by the local Kin (goblins) as a god of raw strength. Defeating it is highly recommended, as it guards a specialized tome that grants permanent character power.

Lore & Background

On the sulphite-rich Isle of Kin, the goblin-like inhabitants capture and torment the local wildlife to create beasts of war. The Blind Beast is their greatest "creation"—a hulking primate-like creature whose eyes have been gouged out or mutated shut by exposure to Voltaxic Sulphite.

Kept in a gladiatorial pit, it has learned to hunt by sensing the vibrations of the earth and the scent of ozone. It is a creature of pure rage, enhanced by the volatile lightning energy that permeates the island's mines.

Core Mechanics

The Blind Beast deals mixed Physical and Lightning Damage. The fight takes place in a confined arena. Its attacks are heavy and often leave hazardous Voltaxic Sulphite on the ground.

Phase 1: The Arena Champion

• 1. Blind Sweep
  Description: The monster swings its huge arms twice, attacking the player in a wide conical area.
  Strategy: Because it cannot see, there is enough time during the two arm swings to dodge the attack, move sideways, or roll behind it.
• 2. Leaping Ground Slam
  Description: It leaps into the air and crashes down, creating a shockwave of physical force.
  Strategy: A large indicator marks the landing zone. Roll away immediately. Being hit causes a heavy Stun.
• 3. Debris Throw
  Description: If you are too far away, it rips a chunk of rock from the ground and hurls it at you.
  Strategy: The rock is infused with lightning. Dodge perpendicular to the throw.

Phase 2: Voltaxic Rage (75% HP)

At 75% health, the Beast goes berserk, slamming the ground and cracking open sulphite fissures.

• 1. Raging Combo & Fissures
  Description: It slams the ground four times in rapid succession. Each slam opens a fissure of Voltaxic Sulphite Ground.
  Strategy:  Please don't stand on the fissure of Voltaxic Sulphite Ground because it will inflict some damage. You can free hit after the Raging Combo attack.

Recommended Builds

This is a close-quarters fight with lots of AoE. Durability is key.

• Warrior - Sunder/Earthquake: You can match the Beast's area damage with your own. High Armor helps mitigate its physical swipes.
• Monk - Celerity: Use your high mobility to weave in and out of the Voltaxic Fissures.
• Key Stats: Lightning Resistance (75%) is mandatory to survive the fissures. Stun Recovery is crucial if you get hit by the slam.

Loot Table

The Blind Beast is a "must-kill" boss because it drops a permanent progression item.
