Xesht, We That Are One Location

Use a Breachstone at the Realmgate in the Atlas

Path of Exile 2 - Use a Breachstone at the Realmgate

Xesht, We That Are One is encountered in the Twisted Domain by using a Breachstone in the Realmgate. The Twisted Domain will contain a single large breach that you must clear to reach the area where Xesht is. Defeating more monsters increases the time you have to clear the Breach.

Breach Endgame Mechanic

Collect 300 Breach Splinters to Get a Breachstone

Breach Splinters are acquired by defeating monsters or opening the hands found inside Breaches. A stack of 300 Breach Splinters will automatically combine into one Breachstone.

Find the Realmgate Near the Starting Point of the Atlas

The Realmgate can only be accessed in the endgame and will always be near the starting point of your Atlas map.

How to Beat Xesht, We That Are One

Tips on Beating Xesht, We That Are One
Keep Moving to Avoid Aerial Hand Slam Attack Distance Yourself From Xesht's Minions Closely Circle Xesht for the Finger Projectiles Stay Away From the Portal Arm's Range Use a Thawing Charm

Keep Moving to Avoid Aerial Hand Slam Attack

One of Xesht's most damage-dealing attacks is their hand slam. To avoid it, players should keep moving and closely observe Xesht. When their hand wings close, they need to dodge roll away as this indicator that the big hand will slam the ground.

Distance Yourself From Xesht's Puppets

When Xesht summons their puppets, players should distance themselves as much as possible, potentially going to the nearby corridors to do so. Doing so allows them to escape the AoE of the sorcerer's expanding electric field and gives more gaps between the mercenary's projectiles to dodge them.

Specifically for the mercenary's projectiles, players may opt to use a shield to block the projectiles.

Closely Circle Xesht for the Finger Projectiles

The hardest moves to dodge in Xesht's kit are the projectiles that they shoot from their fingers, given its fast projectile speed and relatively large AoE. To avoid getting damaged by it, players should closely stick to Xesht and circle it while it charges the attack and dodge roll towards Xesht's back to avoid the area of effect of these projectiles.

Stay Away (or Close) From the Portal Arm's Fixed Range

When Xesht's life is low enough, they will start summoning arms from portals on the ground that slams the ground. These arms have a fixed range so its best to either move away from it, or to go towards the arm's portal to avoid damage.

It's Best to Use a Thawing Charm

The cold puppet that Xesht summons deals cold damage and can potentially freeze you at the worst times possible. To avoid deaths from getting frozen and getting hit by a large follow up attack, it's best to use a Thawing Charm against Xesht.

High-Threat Moves

Moves	Details & How to Dodge
“Curse of a Broken Sun!” or “Fate belies truth...” or “The creeping dark of unburdened thought!” Finger Guns	Xesht points their fingers forward, firing projectiles that explode on impact. This move is fast—stay close and dodge roll toward them to avoid being hit.
“Tought by tought... destiny unwinds!” or “We watch... we wait... we dream!” Giant Hand	A giant hand hovers above, tracking your position. When its shadow ignites, dodge roll away quickly to evade the slam.
“We split the thread of reality's coiling lies!” Arm Portals	In phase two, portals on the ground spawn giant arms that slam down. Move toward the center of the portal to move past its minimum range and avoid the attack. Note: These arms continue attacking even after defeating Xesht! Be careful before looting the items that Xesht drops.
“The fight... once more...” or “We control... they dance!” or “We call... We command...” Double Puppets	Xesht summons cold and lightning puppets that flood the arena with projectiles and a large AoE attack. Retreat to one of the corridors to stay safe.
“We tire...” or “We are fury...” Wind Blast	Xesht charges up a wind projectile. Dodging from a distance makes it easier to react to, but staying close lets you reposition quickly out of its path..

Lower-Threat Moves

Moves	Details & How to Dodge
“His message burns...” or “Hear the Grey Winds...” or “The red pyre blooms...” Fireball	Xesht charges a large fireball and slams it in front of him. This move, while powerful, is telegraphed and has a tiny area of effect in front of Xesht.
“She of Thought and Motion” or “She of Storming Cruelty...” Lightning Puppet	A puppet charges an expanding area of lightning, which bursts after a delay. Keep out of the growing blue circle to avoid damage.
“She is Tul...” or “She of Winter's Envy...” or “Pandemonium” or “She of Chilling Sorrow...” Cold Puppet	A puppet fires a myriad of cold projectiles. Either stay close to circle behind it or maintain distance to dodge the shots.
“Run...” or “Anticipation” or “Within our grasp...” or “Infinite Pursuit” Hand Crawl	Xesht disappears into the ground while a crawling hand pursues you. When it reaches you, look for lines indicating the wave’s direction before dodging away to escape the follow-up attack.
