Where to find Jiquani Machinarium in PoE 2
During the quest Legacy of the Vaal, you will need to gain access to the Matlan Waterways. The path there is closed channel mechanism, which can be found in Infected lands. Find the device and call Alvi to learn about the need to install a large Soul Core. Where to find such an item is unknown. However, Servi will tell you about ancient ruins inhabited by stone creatures. The path there lies through the Marshes of the Chimerides.
Return to the Blighted Lands and find the entrance to Marshes of the Chimerids, which Servi mentioned. In this location, you will encounter a large number of dangerous enemies of level 36, inflicting bleeding and poisoning. Pre-level up at least to the level of the mobs and put on equipment with the appropriate resistances.
Explore the location carefully and try to open it completely. The entrance to the Jiquani Machinarium is located in a dead-end area of the map called Deadly Nest. There is a checkpoint next to it, behind which there is a small arena with three stone buildings. If you saw this area on the mini-map, then you came to the right place.
How to get into Jiquani Machinarium in PoE 2
Shortly after you enter the Deadly Nest, a boss will appear behind you. Shyklusian, chimera. He guards the entrance to the desired location. Defeat the monster to move on.
Defeat the Shiklusian Chimera
Shyklusian is a monster with a huge amount of health, which can fly into the air, remaining out of reach even for ranged attacks. Due to this feature, the fight can drag on and deplete the character's resources. Below are some tips to help make the battle easier:
- Increase your overall elemental resistance to withstand lightning, fire, ice, and poison attacks.
- Dodge the boss's strong physical area attacks, they can cause a lot of damage.
- Run to the opposite side of the arena when the monster starts using its icy breath. The Chimera is capable of covering almost the entire arena with a crust of ice. If you hit the affected area, the character will begin to rapidly lose health and will slow down significantly, which will make him extremely vulnerable.
- Attack the stone structures that the boss sometimes sits on. They can be destroyed and keep the monster off balance for a long time.
In addition to the standard rewards, the boss will also drop Chimeral Inscribed Ultimatum, required to access Trials of Chaos. Once you pick it up, start the quest to find and go through the dungeons.
After defeating the boss, climb the stone steps behind the arena and find the entrance to the desired ruins. To continue the quest, visit the area: Jiquani Machinarium.
