Zizaran condenses the genuinely useful early-game tips for PoE 2 with no filler: what to buy, what to skip, what habits to form on day 1. Short and to the point — the opposite of hour-long video guides. English anchor for players who want to start on the right foot.

Spud the King

Complete 28-minute guide built to prevent mistakes that ruin first runs in PoE 2. Covers flask upgrades, ascendency timing, critical campaign decisions and typical traps. Published at 0.4's launch but most decisions (when to upgrade flasks, how to time ascendancy, which mistakes to avoid) still apply in 0.5 — the campaign was streamlined but the core stays the same.
