  • U4GM:Underappreciated Perks of Cowardly Fate You’re Missing

    Cowardly Fate is widely recognized for its key role in unlocking the Trialmaster, the pinnacle boss of the Trial of Chaos in Path of Exile 2. However, beyond this headline function, it carries several underappreciated perks that many players might be missing out on.

    First, Cowardly Fate serves as a valuable currency item in its own right. Aside from being essential to access the Trialmaster fight, it can be traded or sold at the Currency Exchange NPC available from Cruel difficulty onward. This provides a reliable source of income for players who farm the Trial of Chaos but may not be ready or willing to face the Trialmaster itself. Its trade value can be quite high, making it a lucrative drop even if you don’t need it for progression.

    Second, Cowardly Fate acts as a tangible marker of progression and skill. Successfully obtaining it means you have mastered the Trial of Chaos up to the 10th round boss, demonstrating your build’s viability and your personal gameplay proficiency. This can be a confidence boost and a milestone that helps players gauge their readiness for more difficult content.

    Third, holding Cowardly Fate allows players to experiment with the Trialmaster encounter repeatedly without needing to farm the Fates again. This encourages practice and mastery of one of the game’s toughest fights, which can translate into improved performance in other challenging content like endgame maps or PvP.

    Additionally, the process of farming Cowardly Fate exposes players to the Trial of Chaos’s unique mechanics and modifiers, which can improve overall game knowledge and adaptability. The trial’s design favors builds that can clear enemies quickly and handle hazards efficiently, so farming it repeatedly helps refine build optimization and combat strategy.

    Lastly, Cowardly Fate indirectly grants access to some of the most powerful and rare items in the game. Defeating the Trialmaster after placing the three Fates on the door opens the chance to obtain exclusive rewards like Adorned Jewels and unique gear that can elevate your character’s power significantly.

    While Cowardly Fate’s primary function is to unlock the Trialmaster, its underappreciated perks include being a valuable trade item, a progression milestone, a tool for repeated practice, a gateway to build refinement, and a key to exclusive high-end rewards. Recognizing these benefits can help players better appreciate and utilize Cowardly Fate beyond just opening a door to a boss fight.
