Mana management is one of the most important aspects of combat inPath of Exile 2. Consistently maintaining optimal DPS for spellcaster classes like Sorceress not only requiresa large mana pool to support level 20+ Skillsin the endgame but a way to recover the mana as well.
While passive mana regen should be the main means of recovery, Mana Flasks are incredibly important as well, giving a character a huge injection of mana with a click of a button. The Melting Maelstrom Unique is the best Mana Flask in the entire game. Here’s how to get it.
How to Get Melting Maelstrom in PoE 2
Melting MaelstromUltimate Mana Flask is a possible drop from the Delirium pinnacle boss, Kosis, the Revelation inPath of Exile 2. The only way to fight Kosis, the Revelation—and his companion Omniphobia, Fear Manifest—is to use a Simulacrum on theRealmgate in the Atlas. One Simulacrum can be obtained by combining 300Simulacrum Splinters, which are rare drops from Delirium maps.
Melting Maelstrom is not a guaranteed drop from Kosis, the Revelation. You will likely need multiple attempts to get this unique to spawn.
While it’s possible to get Simulacrum Splinters from regular Tier 11+ Delirium maps, by far the moreefficient way is toinstill your Waystones with Delirium fog through the instilling mechanic. Players can easily get anywhere from10-50 Simulacrum Splinters per mapwith this method, depending on the mob density and the item quantity drop rate in the map. Juicing maps is the only efficient way of farming Simulacrum Splinters.
Defeating Kosis, the Revelation will also give players Delirium Atlas points. Use them wisely, and the number of Simulacrum Splinters in your maps will increase drastically.
