The Labyrinth screenshot

The Lord's Labyrinth, with various traps visible on all sides.

Having proved your mettle in the Trials of Ascendancy, you earn the right to enter Izaro's Labyrinth. Centuries have passed, but its traps are as dangerous as the day its doors were first opened.

Description on the official Path of Exile website [1]

The Labyrinth is a randomly generated dungeon filled with traps, puzzles and monsters, culminating in a challenge against Izaro. Completing the Labyrinth for the first time unlocks a character’s Ascendancy class and points for the powerful Ascendancy skill tree. It also offers equipment enchantments and several unique items.

Overview[ | ]

After completing the first six Trials of Ascendancy, the player can enter the Aspirant's Plaza through the Statue of the Goddess in the Sarn Encampment. The plaza has a waypoint that can be accessed from any act (it appears next to the hideout icon). The Plaza is where the player chooses which labyrinth to enter.

The Labyrinth must be completed in one run without dying.

  • The Labyrinth can be attempted as many times as desired.
  • There are no waypoints. Upon death, players must resurrect in town and the current Labyrinth ends. Disconnecting, logging out, or exiting the game also ends the current Labyrinth. The Player will resurrect in the town of the act they came from.
  • Players may not use town portals, except to leave. When using a portal, a warning message will confirm the choice to abandon the current Labyrinth. This portal will take the player to the Act 3 town, regardless of where it was entered.
  • Any labyrinth specific items such as keys found must be used in the current Labyrinth. Like quest items, these items cannot be traded or moved to a stash. Unused items will be dropped (destroyed) when leaving the Labyrinth.
  • The stash is accessible before each encounter with Izaro, and in the Ascendancy Chamber.

Monster Level: 33

The first Labyrinth requires six trials: one in Act 1, two in Act 2, and three in Act 3. While the layout changes every day, some things are constant. The first room is always a Forgotten Reliquary and there is only one path through it to the first Izaro fight. The second room can lead directly to Izaro, but there is an optional room too. The path to the final fight always has two rooms. The final fight takes place with no traps and there is a limited number of mechanics.

Completing the Labyrinth gives a choice of Ascendancy Class, 2 Ascendancy Points, and the chance to add an implicit modifier to a pair of gloves.

The Cruel Labyrinth[ | ]

Monster Level: 55

The second Labyrinth requires three trials, one in Act 6 and two in Act 7, a minimum level of 40, as well as the completion of the first Labyrinth. Like the first Labyrinth, the first room is a Forgotten Reliquary and provides a straight shot to Izaro. The next two fights require two rooms each. Labyrinth traps appear with the final fight, with more and stronger mechanics than the first Labyrinth.

Completing the Cruel Labyrinth gives 2 Ascendancy Points and the chance to add an implicit modifier to gloves or boots. The modifier to gloves has higher values than those in the first Labyrinth.

The Merciless Labyrinth[ | ]

Monster Level: 68

The third Labyrinth requires three trials, one each in acts 8, 9, and 10; a minimum level of 50; as well as the completion of the Cruel Labyrinth. Each fight with Izaro requires the player to cross at least two rooms to fight, but the room before the first Izaro fight is always a Forgotten Reliquary. All mechanics can be seen in the Izaro fights, many with stronger effects.

Completing the Merciless Labyrinth gives 2 Ascendancy Points and the chance to add an implicit modifier to gloves, boots and helmets. The modifier to gloves and boots have higher values than the previous Labyrinths.

The Eternal Labyrinth[ | ]

Monster Level: 75

The final Labyrinth requires 1 Offering to the Goddess inventory iconOffering to the GoddessOffering to the GoddessIt is time for the Goddess to give her final verdict.

as well as completion of the Merciless Labyrinth. (It no longer requires you to do all 6 trials.) The layout requirements are the same as the Merciless Labyrinth. All mechanics are at full strength for the Izaro fights.

The Eternal trials and Labyrinth include a new trap type: Sentinel traps. These traps apply one of many effects to an area and can be temporarily deactivated by dealing damage to them.

Completing the Eternal Labyrinth gives 2 Ascendancy Points and the chance to add an implicit modifier to gloves, boots and helmets, with a choice between 3 enchantments for helments. The modifier to gloves, boots, and helmets have higher values than the previous Labyrinths.

Enriched Eternal Labyrinth[ | ]

Monster Level: 83

A crafting option obtained from a Vivid Abberarach allows you to enrich an Offering to the Goddess into one of three variants. It uses the same layout as the Eternal Labyrinth, and Labyrinth monsters, traps, and Izaro are significantly buffed.

Layout[ | ]

The rooms of the Labyrinth are still randomly generated but connections between rooms and content of rooms only change daily. All rooms exits will be in the same relative place and if room has a key, darkshrine or other element, all instances that day will have the same element. It is changed daily at midnight (00:00) UTC. When the Labyrinth is generated, keys to locked doors are placed behind traps, hidden passages are created that connect areas, and secret rooms are placed. Three times, the player encounters Izaro, and the fight will evolve depending on the player's actions in previous encounters. The first two fights end when Izaro's hitpoints are reduced to 2/3 and 1/3 respectively; the last one ends when Izaro is defeated.

Rewards[ | ]

After defeating Izaro, players enter the final room of the Labyrinth, the Ascendancy Chamber. This room contains the Altar of Ascendancy, a Divine Font, and ten chests of Izaro's Treasure.

Completing the Labyrinth on normal difficulty grants the player the ability to choose an Ascendancy class on top of receiving two points to spend on the Ascendancy skill tree. On completing the cruel, merciless and eternal Labyrinth the player again receives two points each. Players must interact with the Altar of Ascendancy to choose their class and receive their points.

In addition, every time the player completes the Labyrinth, they may use the Divine Font to imbue one piece of equipment with an enchantment. If you gained additional Divine Font uses, the enchantment choices are rerolled after each use.

Each of Izaro's Treasure chests is equivalent to a random strongbox—for example, one may be filled with random loot, while another may contain only jewelry or currency. One Treasure Key inventory iconTreasure KeyTreasure KeyThis item is required to open one of Izaro's Treasure Chests located in the Labyrinth. This item will drop on the ground when leaving the Labyrinth.Treasure Key inventory icon is required to open each chest. Keys are found throughout the Labyrinth and from Izaro himself. During the first two Izaro encounters, players may choose to focus on Izaro without disabling his extra buff/damage mechanics. If not disabled these mechanics then carry over to the next phase of the fight making it more dangerous, but also more rewarding. Izaro will drop an additional key for each mechanic in place at the end of the fight. Additional Treasure Keys can be obtained by killing Argus or opening Curious Lockboxes.

Rooms[ | ]

The Labyrinth is a series of connected areas. There are pedestals at each door of an area that display the map of the areas already seen as well as the room on the other side of the doors. The path covered by the door is highlighted.

Traps[ | ]

There are many different traps in the labyrinth. The traps from the Trials of Ascendancy and few others are combined in gauntlets throughout the area. They can be deadly, usually dealing a percentage of the player's life or energy shield pool as physical damage. They deal damage that scales with the player's life and energy shield pool. Traps can also damage monsters, but they deal less damage to minions. The most common ones are introduced to the player in the Trials of Ascendancy.

Tile Puzzle[ | ]

A tile puzzle room will be opened by stepping on three tiles in sequence in front of it. The sequence of the tiles outside will then need to be used to cross a grid of tiles to the reward. For example, if it has Fire, Lightning, Ice outside, then you must step in tiles in that order: Fire, Lightning, Ice, Fire, Lightning, Ice, etc. Crossing all the way will open the door to the reward. Stepping on an incorrect tile triggers a dart trap and resets the puzzle sequence.

Argus[ | ]

Argus is a boss monster found in the Merciless and Eternal Labyrinth. His location is constant within a given layout. Argus drops a Treasure Key on death.

Other traps[ | ]

Various other traps appear in the Labyrinth, such as vertically moving spinning blades (often guarding an entrance) and others.

3.8.0
  • Labyrinth Traps now deal 90% less bleeding damage to Minions.
3.6.0
  • Helena no longer follows the player into the Lord's Labyrinth to read crafting recipes, as she hasn't passed Izaro's trials. You'll have to pass that important crafting knowledge onto her yourself.
  • You can now teleport to party members waiting in the Aspirant's Plaza. Added an error message for when you attempt to teleport to a party member who has been in the Labyrinth long enough for the Aspirant's Plaza instance to close.

  • Fixed weird Labyrinth quest states a dead hardcore character could find themselves in after transferring to Standard.
