What Is Deadly Fate? Unlocking the Trialmaster in Path of Exile 2

Deadly Fate in Path of Exile 2 is one of the three unique "Fates" required to unlock the Trialmaster’s Tower, enabling players to face the challenging boss known as the Trialmaster. Deadly Fate is obtained by defeating Bahlak, The Sky Seer, a boss that appears during the 10th wave of the Trial of Chaos encounter found in the Vaal Jungle area in Act 3.

The Trial of Chaos is a multi-wave trial requiring players to survive escalating challenges of minions, traps, and powerful bosses. Upon defeating the boss that drops Deadly Fate (Bahlak), players receive this Fate as a unique item which, alongside Cowardly Fate and Victorious Fate, is used to open the door to the Trialmaster, the culmination of the Trials.

A key mechanic includes the Cowardly Fate debuff that slows player movement and attack speed, increasing the fight’s difficulty.
