Step 1: Finding the Sacrificial Heart

Quest Start — The sacrificial heart is obtained during Act 3. Item Description — It occupies a 2×2 slot in your inventory and shows up with a distinct green color. Objective — Your objective is to bring the heart to the ritual altar and sacrifice it to gain 2 valuable passive points.

Step 2: Accessing Aggorat

Aggorat functions as a special waypoint area within Act 3, but reaching it can be tricky the first time. Here’s how to find it:

• If you’re in Act 3 (Normal):
  Use the town waypoint and travel through the Time Travel Gateway. This will transport you directly to Aggorat.
• If you’re in Cruel Difficulty:
  Go back to Act 3 (Normal) via the waypoint system.
  Enter the Time Travel Gateway once more.
  Continue moving forward until you arrive in Act 1 (Cruel) town.
  When you open the waypoint map, Aggorat should now appear as a selectable destination.

Step 3: Sacrificing the Heart

Once you’re able to access Aggorat, the process of completing the sacrificial heart quest is straightforward:

1. Teleport to Aggorat by using the waypoint.
2. Locate the ritual altar, which is placed at the upper-right side of the map relative to the waypoint.
3. Pass through the central checkpoint to reach the altar area.
4. Put the sacrificial heart onto the altar.
5. Confirm the ritual, and you will be rewarded with 2 passive points.

Step 4: Troubleshooting Common Issues

Even with clear instructions, players sometimes run into problems. Here are the most frequent issues with the sacrificial heart quest and their solutions:

Problem — Aggorat waypoint is missing.
Solution: Go back to the Act 3 Normal town. Re-enter through the Time Travel Gateway. Walk your way into Act 1 Cruel town and then re-check the waypoint map — Aggorat should appear again.

Problem — Sacrificial Heart stuck in inventory.
Solution: Finish the quest using the instructions given above. If you have already advanced past Act 3 and can’t access Aggorat, you may need to continue until later acts to complete it.

Problem — Quest not completing.
Solution: Make sure you are inside the Aggorat instance and not in another area. Use the correct ritual altar where the sacrificial heart must be offered.

Conclusion

To sum things up, the sacrificial heart quest in Path of Exile 2 can be tricky, but once you understand the process, it becomes simple. Your ultimate goal is to bring the heart to Aggorat and perform the ritual sacrifice, which will reward you with 2 passive points. To reach Aggorat, use the Time Travel Gateway in Act 3 (Normal) or follow the slightly longer route if you are already in Cruel difficulty.

By following this guide from Gamer Choice, you’ll have everything you need to overcome issues with waypoints, inventory, or the altar itself, and complete the sacrificial heart quest without frustration.
