Add to Watchlist

Hunting Grounds is a location in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2) that is available to visit in Act 1. Read on to see all quests, bosses, and everything you can find in Hunting Grounds!

Hunting Grounds Location Details

A Lush But Perilous Forest

Hunting Grounds

Monster Level 10

The Hunting Grounds is a lush but perilous forest accessible from the Cemetery of the Eternals after defeating Lachlann of Endless Lament.

The area is rife with enemies like Bramble Rhoas, Bramble Burrowers, Bramble Apes, Cultists, and Venomous Crabs. A lot of these enemies can ambush you unexpectedly while some can throw poison projectiles your way.

The boss of the Hunting Grounds is The Crowbell. You'll find yourself trapped in a small area while fighting this boss, making it difficult to move around. Be on the lookout when it jumps to make sure you can avoid the area where he will land.

How to get to the Hunting Grounds

Step Objective
1 Cemetery of the Eternals
Go to the Cemetery of the Eternals. Note that maps are randomly generated and this is only a sample layout meant as a general guide.
2
Complete the Sorrow Among Stones Quest and defeat Lachlann of Endless Lament.
3
Enter the Hunting Grounds.

The entrance to the Hunting Grounds can be found on the opposite side of the Memorial Gate, and opens only after defeating Lachlann of Endless Lament.

Hunting Grounds Map Layout

Sample Map Layout

Entering the Hunting Grounds will prompt the start of The Trail of Corruption Quest. Once you enter the Hunting Grounds, you will encounter a waypoint. Make sure to unlock this waypoint, as the entrance to the Hunting Grounds in the Cemetery of the Eternals will disappear and rely on teleporting to the waypoint to get here.

The map comprises vast areas that lead to a diverse set of locations. Each side of the area can lead to other places. Ogham Farmlands,, needed in the quest The Trail of Corruption, can most likely be found on the opposite side of where you enter.

It is important to note that the areas are randomly generated and that the maps used are meant to serve as a general guide to the map layout.
