Vendors in the Grim Tangle zone may offer fungal resources like Chaos Orbs and Vile Essence in POE2 Currency exchange for currency. Visit the vendors regularly to check for new materials they may offer.
Material Trade: Some vendors offer crafting materials that are needed to enhance your chaos potions or to unlock additional recipes. If you’re short on materials, these vendors may help you gather what you need by offering them for currency or crafting resources.
Farming Special Zones for Materials
Grim Tangle Caverns: The underground caves in this region are packed with fungus-infested enemies, making it a great farming spot for Spore Clusters and Decaying Spores.
Rotting Forest: Another great area to farm Mycelium Resin and Rotting Fungi. The forest contains dense areas filled with spore-encrusted trees and fungus-covered ground that drop these materials.
Toxic Pools: Some of the swampy areas in Grim Tangle are full of toxic pools that drop rare materials such as Cursed Sulfur and Vile Blood after defeating specific fungal bosses.
Event-Based Quests and Bosses
Optional Bosses in the Grim Tangle region provide materials like Mycelium Extracts, Fungal Blight, and Rotting Infusion. Completing these events or challenges will unlock access to further crafting materials that can be used for higher-tier chaos potions or poison-infused gear.
