Tame Beast is one of the more unique Skills inPath of Exile 2, allowing basically any build in the game to summon a permanent, persistent companion to aid in battle at the cost of some Spirit.
For builds that have a lot of unused Spirit and a Skill Slot to spare, Tame Beast is an absolute must-have, as it can serve as a force multiplier if you manage to capture a sufficiently powerful monster out in the wild. Here’s the breakdown.
How Does Tame Beast Work in PoE 2
Tame Beast is a Skill Gem inPath of Exile 2, which allows players to tame a beast-type monster and summon it as apermanent reviving companionthat can fight alongside you. Only Rare beast-type monsters can be tamed using the Tame Beast Skill. These beast companions retain four monster modifiers, including auras, making them extremely powerful in the right situations.
The way it works is simple. While a player has the Tame Beast Skill equipped, they will be able to see the monster categories of all nearby enemies, allowing them to easily identify beast-type monsters. When used on a rare beast-type monster, thatmonster will be infused with an Azmeri Wisp that will debuff for a duration of 8 to 11.8 seconds, depending on the level of the Skill Gem. If the marked monster is killed during this time period, it will be “captured” inside the Skill Gem, transforming the Tame Beast Skill Gem into a Companion Summoning Gem.
Once used, the Tame Beast Skill Gem is consumed. It will be permanently transformed into a Companion Gem.
How to Use Companion Gem in PoE 2
to summon the beast companion, you will need tohave a certain amount of Spiritto allocate to the Companion Gem. The bigger and more powerful the tamed beast, the more Spirit it will require to be summoned. If you have the necessary Spirit, right-click on the Companion Gem icon in the Skills menu to activate it.
A Companion Gem created via a Tame Beast Gem isAccount Bound; it cannot betraded with other players.
You cannot use more than one Tame Beast at the same time since you can only have one reviving companion on the field at one time.
Best Location To Use Tame Beast in PoE 2
In order to find a permanent beast companion using Tame Beast, players will have to go out into the world and look for beast-type monsters that can be tamed. This can be quite time-consuming if done the regular way, but luckily there is a spot in the campaign that has infinite rare beast-type monster spawns if certain conditions are met. Here is how it works.
This trick can also be replicated in the Troubled Camp in the Jungle Ruins. The only difference is that the Infested Barrens Troubled Camp contains two Rare Antlion Chargers whereas the Jungle Ruins Troubled Camp contains two Rare Quadrillas.
If you kill the rare monsters, respawning at the Checkpoint will not revive them. You will have toreset the instanceof the Infested Barrens by exiting the map and entering it again by pressing CTRL+Click. This resets the map completely, reviving all monsters inside.
