In Path of Exile 2 (PoE2), the Omen is a Ritual-exclusive crafting item. It grants triggered abilities that activate when certain conditions are met (depending on the type), like taking damage or killing an enemy.

Here’s a guide to understanding, getting, and using Omens.

What Is an Omen?

What it does: Grants a triggered ability that activates under specific conditions, such as “on hit,” “on kill,” or “on low life.”

Why it’s useful: Omens provide situational effects that can save your character in emergencies or boost damage when conditions are met.

For example:

  • An Omen might trigger a healing effect when you drop below 20% health.

  • Another might grant increased damage after killing an enemy.
