Cowardly Fate remains a central gateway in PoE 2’s Trial of Chaos, and understanding its role can dramatically affect both planning and execution for endgame progression.
Why Cowardly Fate matters
Access to the Trialmaster: The Cowardly Fate is one of the three Fate fragments needed to unlock the door to the Trialmaster encounter. Without all three Fate fragments, the final trial cannot be engaged, which blocks access to one of the game’s toughest and most rewarding endgame bosses.
Narrative and progression meaning: Beyond gating the Trialmaster, the Fate fragments contribute to the storytelling surrounding danger, courage, and destiny within the Trial of Chaos. Completing this milestone signals readiness to tackle the high-stakes endgame content and its unique loot paths.
Ascendancy and loot rewards: The Trialmaster fight unlocks critical Ascendancy options and yields some of the best mid-to-late-game loot opportunities, including items with unique or highly valuable crafting potential. Securing the Cowardly Fate accelerates progression toward these rewards.
How to obtain and use the Fate fragments
Defeat waves and bosses in the Trial of Chaos: The Fate fragments drop from different 10th-wave encounters within the Trial of Chaos. Each fate—Cowardly, Deadly, and Victorious—corresponds to clues found in these waves and bosses. Collecting all three is necessary to access the Trialmaster.
Alternative acquisition paths: In many versions of PoE 2, Fate fragments can sometimes be traded, exchanged via currency systems, or earned through specific event or vault activities. Check current league rules and currency exchanges for nodes that provide Fate fragments if direct drops are scarce.
Completing the door ritual: Once all three Fate fragments are in hand, place them in the designated door to unlock the Trialmaster. This ritual is the gateway to progressing through the harshest content and unlocking the most consequential endgame rewards.
Strategic considerations
Preparation pays off: Given the difficulty of the Trialmaster, ensure your build has adequate sustain, defensive layers, and event-specific mechanics covered before attempting the fight after obtaining all Fate fragments.
Timing and pacing: If one Fate fragment is particularly scarce or appears to be blocked due to patch changes or economy shifts, plan alternative routes to progress while waiting for the necessary fragment. Don’t get stuck waiting indefinitely if other parts of the endgame are accessible.
Community knowledge: The specifics of which bosses drop which Fate fragments can vary between patches and leagues. Keeping an eye on current patch notes, community guides, and discussion threads helps align farming and progression strategies with the latest rules.
