Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2)

Dreadnought Vanguard Location, Quests, and Bosses

Add to Watchlist

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

Dreadnought Vanguard Location Details

Death of the Faridun

Dreadnought Vanguard

Monster Level 32

Dreadnought Vanguard is an area you can access from The Dreadnought. You'll be led to this place if you're doing the The Trail of Corruption main quest.

Like The Dreadnought, this area consists of several carriages carrying enemies such as Faridun Butchers, Faridun Spearmen, and Faridun Heavy Infantry. Narrow bridges connect the carriages, so be careful not to get surrounded!

You will encounter The Faridun Throne near a checkpoint, where you must defeat Jamanra, the Abomination. This boss has two phases and mainly uses various AOE lightning spells, so equip items that increase your lightning resistance!

How to Get to the Dreadnought Vanguard

Step Objective
1
Teleport or create a portal to The Ardura Caravan.
2
Proceed to the Desert Map near Sekhema Asala, towards the front of the caravan.
3
Look for the pin that says "Click to travel to The Dreadnought". You will be teleported to The Dreadnought upon clicking.
4 Dreadnought
Look for the entrance to the Dreadnought Vanguard within The Dreadnought. Note that maps are randomly generated and this is only a sample layout meant as a general guide.
5
Enter the Dreadnought Vanguard.

The Dreadnought Vanguard is accessible upon progressing through The Trail of Corruption Quest in Act 2. Use the Desert Map in The Ardura Caravan to teleport directly to The Dreadnought. Look for the entrance to the Dreadnought Vanguard once inside The Dreadnought.

Dreadnought Vanguard Map Layout

Sample Map Layout

The Dreadnought Vanguard is the final area you will need to go through to finish The Trail of Corruption Quest and Act 2.

The area itself is similar to The Dreadnought in that it has a fairly simple layout comprising several large carriages leading to Jamanra, the Abomination.

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.

During Phase 1, Jamanra can summon a sandstorm which deals damage. Stay behind Asala to get protected from the storm. Asala's storm protection extends all the way to the other end of the boss arena so there's a lot of space to move around to deal with the additional enemies.
