Hardcore FromSoftware enthusiasts aren’t the only ones who enjoy charging into battle completely unarmored.

Path of Exile 2’s intricate build-crafting mechanics provide a sandbox of endless possibilities, where player ingenuity can lead to truly startling results.

A player going by the handle isfooPoE decided to push the boundaries of minimalism by constructing a “naked” character. To achieve this, he strictly adhered to several self-imposed constraints:

  • A total absence of weapons, armor, jewelry, and utility flasks.
  • An absolute ban on all gems (including jewels, corrupted gems, and lineage support gems).

Ultimately, isfooPoE engineered a build whose lethality surpassed his own expectations—the Arbiter of Ash boss was dismantled in short order:

“I didn’t think it was possible to create such a powerful setup without any equipment at all. While the encounter isn’t particularly difficult even with zero DPS and no defense, clearing it as quickly as possible was genuinely a lot of fun.”
