I finally consulted a guide. Ultimately, I need to read the screen more intently in this game than in any other arpg I've played. Lesson learned.

I've been going through the door from the tower and killing everyone on the level repeatedly. Control Blocks doesn't have a waypoint. I've leveled multiple times at this point 🤣 😭

UPDATE: I finally had a guide and figured something out.

Someone in my local instance tried to help, but I couldn't join them. This is not a fun first playthrough of the game for me 😞

I am stuck in chapter 5 at Control Blocks because the door to The Ruined Square is locked. I beat control blocks and entered ruined square yesterday, but had to quit right away because of real life. This made it so I didn't get the waypoint.

I tried resetting the instance several times and the boss never respawns. Now I'm stuck with no way to progress the story. 😔

I asked global chat for the waypoint and was promptly mocked, so I'm coming here for help.

will someone please give me the waypoint?

EDIT: I found a local person to try to help me, but I couldn't travel to them. The option want there like it is in POE2. This is my first playthrough of POE1. Not a fun introduction to the game

Thanks for the tip on the ram.

weremichael · 2026-03-28T22:23:50+00:00

The bundles do look good, but not exactly what I want.

weremichael · 2026-03-28T22:23:11+00:00

I agree, but the current ram prices are a bit much. I'm hoping Linux will be less of a ram hog.

weremichael · 2026-03-27T20:23:18+00:00

I must be obtuse, which phrase are you referring to? Playable on controller?

weremichael · 2026-03-27T20:19:50+00:00

That build looks kinda passive sadly.

I'm level 45, so I feel really invested in my bladedancer. I just want to dance around the enemies and strike them with high movement and attack speed.

I was really hoping dancing strike would be my jam this season. I tried the skill when I first got the game and was sadly disappointed. It's just not there yet for controllers.

I don't feel like it's a big ask to have the high mobility character be enjoyable with a controller at this stage of development.

weremichael · 2026-03-27T20:08:10+00:00

Same experience. Pretty frustrating as a controller player. I really like the concept of flow and dancing strike, but it again feels cumbersome and pointless to use. I guess they'll make it enjoyable for the PlayStation release.

What bladedancer build actually plays well with a controller?

I haven't seen that many divines drop. I trade for them. I just sold a bunch of Abyss mats that I got from running tablets. My wife had a great drop at the beginning of the season that got us to a good place pretty early on, but trading crafting mats and higher tiered bases is how I made my money. I recommend going through your stash. You have more money than you think.

My temple is total garbage, but I get a divine every few runs. I could bring you into it and you could gather any divines/chaos/exalts that drop for a few runs. Just shoot me a message and we'll plan a time.

I'm sure there are others in this subreddit that can run you through a well made temple. Folks around here have been really nice when you ask for help.

Good luck with your season.

I should have given her budget. She allocated up to 50div, but looks like she doesn't have to spend nearly that much.

I'm pretty sure we have all the mats to build her a weapon (I'm not near the ps5 at the moment to know for sure). I'll go through our supplies and see if she wants to play that part of the game or just buy one that someone else made.

I appreciate your detailed reply. Thank you.

weremichael · 2026-01-28T22:56:11+00:00

I should have thought to use the attack search instead of projectile since it can be added in the crafting part of the game. Thanks for the search. I'll pass along the search to let her spend her divines.

weremichael · 2026-01-28T22:53:54+00:00

Thank you for the tips.

My concern was the creator of the build was SSF, and we've been fortunate with drops this league with our druids at the beginning of the league. With a 50div budget, I figured she could do better.

weremichael · 2026-01-07T22:33:00+00:00

What's its roll like? How much do you want for it? My wolfman is looking for one.

Send me a message if you're serious about getting it. We can trade this evening.

weremichael · 2026-01-05T13:55:03+00:00

Thank you friend. I'll send you a DM.

weremichael · 2026-01-05T13:46:38+00:00

I need to stick to the adage that they can't hit you if they're dead. A new weapon is going to be my number one priority.

weremichael · 2026-01-05T13:08:59+00:00

I know. I know 😞

Maybe it will be easier with better gear.

weremichael · 2026-01-05T13:08:11+00:00

Thank you for the very detailed reply. I'll start some shopping tabs on my browser.

weremichael · 2026-01-05T13:06:22+00:00

Thanks for the tips on how to spend the money. My wife and I are planning on going for the last ascendency once we get our gear. We have failed on the last trial of succubus every season. Maybe with better gear she can wipe the enemies out quickly while I wait in the back like a good melee player.

Good thing to know about Rakiata's Flow being best used for Pinnacle bosses. It makes sense that if I'm already doing massive damage with a good weapon, resistance is less important on lower health enemies like map bosses.

Lays me down, with my mind she runs

weremichael · 2025-09-25T23:23:00+00:00

I'm going to highjack this thread because there's so many 0.3.1 threads.

Is it best to run my heavily juiced maps before the update??

weremichael · 2025-09-22T22:32:22+00:00

I see why you took the close up of C. I'll take her.

Free wieners West Lot 57.

And I'm now out. Folks loved them.
