From Nothing Diamond Unlocking Guide in Path of Exile 2
The From Nothing Diamond is a valuable piece of loot in Path of Exile 2, granting players greater flexibility with their character builds by allowing access to the passive skill tree more freely. Leveling up requires multiple resources to perfect your build, including Skill Gems for new abilities, gear for special perks, and skill points for game-changing passives. Although abilities greatly impact early gameplay, the importance of passives grows over time, significantly altering build specializations.
Unlocking the From Nothing Diamond is no easy task. Players must defeat a challenging boss, the King in the Mists, with no guarantee of the diamond dropping, and even if it does, it may be of no use to their character. Here’s how to increase your chances of obtaining the From Nothing Diamond and its benefits.
How To Get From Nothing Diamond
Finding The King In The Mists
The From Nothing Diamond drops only from the King in the Mists at difficulty level four, a tough endgame boss to face once players have access to the Atlas of Worlds. To fight the King, you’ll need a rare item called An Audience with the King, usually purchased from an Altar of Favors for between 2,900 and 3,700 Tribute.
After acquiring the Audience, return to the Realmgate and place it inside to open a path to the Crux of Nothingness, commencing the battle against the King in the Mists.
Beating The King In The Mists
This fight consists of two phases with a unique gimmick. Phase one focuses on continuous movement to avoid the King’s immobilisation curse and destroying totems to prevent damage waves. Ascend ramps to avoid losing HP during mist attacks, dodge projectiles, and reduce the King’s HP to one-third to initiate phase two.
During phase two, players navigate through a maze of roots, following wisps to escape. Then, a barrage of area-of-effect (AoE) attacks ensues, requiring constant movement and dodging. Watch for the tornado summoned by the King, as it inflicts armor break and increases damage susceptibility. After defeating him, players can receive the following items at difficulty level four:
- Ingenuity Utility Belt
- Pragmatism Explorer Armor
- From Nothing Diamond
- The Burden of Shadows
- Chiming Staff
- Beetlebite Velour Shoes
Buying A From Nothing Diamond
An alternative to defeating the King is to purchase a From Nothing Diamond from the official Path of Exile 2 marketplace, with prices ranging from 40 to 80 Exalted Orbs, depending on the affected skill. Although this appears to be a shortcut, farming Exalted Orbs also requires time.
Always use the official trade marketplace to avoid scams from external sites.

How The From Nothing Diamond Works
Once acquired, the From Nothing Diamond can be placed into a slot on the passive skill tree. This diamond is linked to a specific keystone passive, creating a radius around the passive, allowing access to skills within that range without the need to connect them to the rest of the tree. This grants considerable flexibility for character builds in Path of Exile 2, enabling players to navigate the passive tree more freely.
