What Is Victorious Fate & How It Unlocks the Trialmaster Challenge

Victorious Fate is one of three special key items—alongside Deadly Fate and Cowardly Fate—that players must obtain to unlock the Trialmaster Challenge in Path of Exile 2. These Fates drop from the final boss at the end of the 10-round Trial of Chaos, a challenging and randomized gauntlet where players face waves of monsters, traps, and tricky objectives.

To unlock the Trialmaster fight, players need to collect all three Fates by repeatedly completing the Trial of Chaos and defeating its final bosses. Each final boss in the trial drops one of these Fates, and players can run the challenge multiple times to gather the full set. Alternatively, these Fates can also be acquired via the in-game currency trade if farming becomes cumbersome.

Once players have all three Fates, they can insert them into a special door in the final room of the Trial of Chaos, which grants access to the Trialmaster’s tower. This unlocks a high-stakes boss fight with complex mechanics and waves of enemies, offering rich rewards and Ascendancy progression points upon success.

The Trialmaster fight is known for intense phases involving minion waves, environmental traps, debilitating debuffs like those caused by Cowardly Fate, and powerful boss attacks requiring mastery of positioning, dodging, and damage output. Defeating the Trialmaster is key for progressing in the Ascendancy system and unlocking powerful passive skills.

Victorious Fate is an essential item dropped from the Trial of Chaos final boss, needed alongside Deadly Fate and Cowardly Fate to unlock the Trialmaster Challenge in Path of Exile 2. Collecting these Fates through repeated Trial runs or trade enables players to face the Trialmaster boss, a pivotal encounter for advancing character power and Ascendancy progression.
