How to Survive Path of Exile's Metamorph League

If you're looking for a Metamorph League guide, chances are you're new to Path of Exile. Another possibility is that you haven't played the game in a long time and are just in need of a refresher. Whatever your reason for seeking out a Metamorph League guide, this article is for you!

Here are a few tips to help you survive the Metamorph League and farm PoE orbs.

Check Your Collected Organs

Organs are the foundation of the creatures you can create. There are five types, brain, eyes, heart, lungs, and liver. You get them by running maps, from normal enemies to bosses alike. Giving one of each type of organ to TaneOctavius will result in a metamorph boss. Once fought, it will shift into the forms of its organs' sources throughout the fight.

Check them for their rewards. A high rarity creature doesn't necessarily mean better rewards. You'll get a preview of potential rewards if you examine the organs beforehand. Customize your created bosses in that way so that you get the rewards you want.

Find a PoE Build

The game provides a choice of seven classes, and each one (except the Scion) has three ascendancy classes. That makes 18 final classes to choose from. What complicates things more is that there is an almost infinite number of possible passive and active skill combinations.

However, choosing and finding a PoE build to use is a crucial step to saving PoE currency. If you follow a build guide, you have a goal to reach for. You won't have to flounder or waste your skill points for passives. Then you could also sell the skill gems you don't need. It also lets you have stricter criteria for the equipment you'll need to use. You'll be able to sell the gear that doesn't fit and craft the ones that do.

In short, following a build will streamline your experience of playing the POE league.

Make Use of the Awakening Levels

Once you reach the endgame, you'll have access to the Atlas. Awakening Levels come with it. Increasing the level will not only make your maps harder but also more rewarding. It's a delicate balance. Upping the difficulty promises the best rewards, but you might not survive. Lowering it will let you survive, but there’ll be less value in the rewards. Adjust it to your liking to get the best possible rewards.

Play With a Friend

There's only so much you can do alone. You can ease the burden and difficulty of level grinding by having a friend or a group with you. What you find challenging when solo won't be as hard when you've got someone by your side.

It also increases the potential rewards you can get. That's a win-win situation right there, and it will be a shame not to capitalize on that.

Go Conquer the Metamorph League!

With these tips, you will go far in PoE. The rest of what you need is all up to you. It's your time, attitude, and determination to see things through that will get you the rest of the way. What's important is that you enjoy the journey of getting to the endgame.

Have fun walking the Path of Exile!
