How to Unlock Multiplayer in Path of Exile 2
Thankfully, inviting people to join your party in Path of Exile 2 is an easy process, but you do have to tick a couple of boxes first.
To get started, you will first have to create a character, choose your class, and fight your way to the first settlement: the Clearfell Encampment. This shouldn’t take too long. The road to the settlement is quite short and mainly serves as a tutorial.
Make sure you keep your eyes open for the chest containing your first weapon, and start clearing out the enemies to reach Clearfell. The main obstacle you will encounter is a troll-like boss called the Bloated Miller.
