To access your Hideout, navigate through the waypoint menu and select the Fleur-de-lis symbol on the right side of your screen. Alternatively, for a more direct approach, simply type /hideout in the game chat.
What Types of Hideouts Exist?
Upon unlocking your first Hideout, you'll initially have access to one type of personal base. To explore more, you'll need to delve back into the Atlas of Worlds, seeking out maps with new Hideouts. Eventually, you'll unlock four distinct styles:
- Felled
- Limestone
- Shrine
- Canal
To switch to a new Hideout type, engage with the NPC Alva and select the appropriate option from the menu.
Hideout Customization
Once you've gained access to your Hideout, Path of Exile 2 lets you unleash your creativity. You can arrange objects and NPCs to your liking, rotate and reposition items, and add or swap out decorations.
