Hostile Takeover Walkthrough

There are two possible scenarios for Path of Exile 2 Currency completing Hostile Takeover, depending on whether or not you already have a hideout unlocked.

Scenario 1: You Don't Have a Hideout

For new Path of Exile 2 players, this is the most common path.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Travel to Whakapanu Island
From Kingsmarch, sail to Whakapanu Island. Act 4 provides this area as a free hideout opportunity.
2. Enter the Singing Caverns
Once on the island, locate and enter the Singing Caverns.
3. Defeat Diamora
Diamora is the boss guarding the area. Defeating her unlocks access to a hideout.
4. Return to Ange in Kingsmarch
After defeating Diamora, head back to Kingsmarch and speak with Ange again.
5. Inspect the Shoreline Hideout
Ange will direct you to inspect the Shoreline Hideout.
6. Clear the Hideout Area
Defeat all enemies inside the hideout to secure it.
7. Speak to Ange One Final Time
Once the hideout is cleared, return to Ange to finalize the quest.

At this point, Hostile Takeover is complete, and the Currency Exchange becomes available.

Scenario 2: You Already Have a Hideout

If you previously unlocked a hideout-either on another character or during an earlier playthrough-this process is much faster.

Steps to Complete the Quest

1. Speak to Ange in Kingsmarch
You must still initiate the quest by talking to her in Act 4.
2. Fast Travel to Your Hideout
Once the quest is active, travel to any hideout you already own.
3. Talk to Ange in the Hideout
Ange will appear there and POE 2 Exalted Orbs for sale immediately complete the quest.
