Be Careful of the Blue Lightning Runes

Path of Exile 2 - How to Beat Xipocado, Royal Architect

Xipocado uses a variety of attacks, but his lightning abilities are the fastest and can easily catch you off guard, leaving you Shocked and vulnerable. When he places a single blue rune on the ground, he will teleport to it and unleash a burst of lightning projectiles that must be dodged sideways. If he summons multiple blue runes around himself, quickly retreat to avoid being struck by the Spark projectiles that radiate outward.

Xipocado, Royal Architect Rewards

Xipocado Room Rewards

Defeating the Architect while the Temple’s Area Level is 75 or higher rewards you with the Royal Access Chamber room card. This card can be placed in the Temple to unlock access to Atziri, the Red Queen. You can place this room by interacting with Xipocado’s Console in the boss arena.

The Royal Access Chamber is considered a restricted room and can only be placed in specific spots within the Temple. These spots are usually located along the edges, making them more difficult to reach.
