In *Path of Exile 2*, enhancing your character's power involves various strategies, some straightforward and others more complex. One such method is anointing, which becomes available later in the game. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to anoint in *Path of Exile 2*.

How To Get Distilled Emotions in Path of Exile 2

To anoint your amulets and Waystones, you'll need Distilled Emotions, which you can only obtain from Delirium Maps. If you're familiar with the first game, think of Distilled Emotions as similar to Blight Oils. There are ten distinct types of Distilled Emotions: Despair, Disgust, Envy, Fear, Greed, Guilt, Ire, Isolation, Paranoia, and Suffering.

The primary method to acquire Distilled Emotions is by completing Delirium Maps, which reward you with a random selection of these emotions. Alternatively, you can obtain them through currency exchange or the trade market. For those looking to upgrade their Distilled Emotions, the Reforging Bench is your go-to spot. Here, you can combine three of the same type to create an upgraded version, allowing you to tailor your collection to your needs.

For players seeking a challenge, Simulacrum waves offer a chance to drop Distilled Emotions. However, this method is less efficient than Delirium Maps and requires a robust build to tackle the increased difficulty.

How To Anoint Items in Path of Exile 2

Anointing in *Path of Exile 2* currently applies to Waystones and amulets, though future updates might expand this feature. To anoint an amulet, select a Distilled Emotion to access the Instilling window. The choice of emotion doesn't matter initially. Place the amulet in the central box and a Distilled Emotion in each of the three bottom boxes. To find the specific emotions required for the desired anointing ability, navigate to the Passive Skill Tree, hover over a Notable Passive Skill, and press alt on a keyboard or R3 on a controller to see the requirements.

The same anointing process applies to Waystones, which can increase their difficulty but also improve the loot they provide. Keep in mind, neither amulets nor Waystones can be anointed if they are corrupted.

With this knowledge, you're equipped to enhance your amulets through anointing, boosting your build or challenging yourself with an anointed Waystone in *Path of Exile 2*.

*Path of Exile 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
