Path of Exile presented another extension in the form of Harvest. This gives players the ability to craft their own monsters, create eye-catching gardens and increase the number of crafts they can do. Those who stop spending their hard-earned PoE currency for real money can also afford microtransactions, although some, such as Sygian Armor, Portals and Footprints, were recently awarded as a reward for a new event.

Another competition run was the giving away of a new set of Alienware gaming laptops that were given to the first person to defeat the Harvest's Heart of the Grove boss who could be grown in-game. If you want to buy the right PoE items to develop the boss, here's what you can do.

How to grow the Heart of the Grove boss

The growing monsters in Path of Exile aren't really about PoE orbs, as some might suspect. First you need to get the seeds from the seed hopper and then plant them in the Sacred Grove. Once there, you must place the Collector in the center of the seeds that will collect Life Force. This allows you to upgrade your weapons and grow more seeds. If you want to help grow higher-level seeds, you may need to place irrigation lines from the sump, so keep that in mind.

If you want to get higher level seeds, you can grow monsters that drop them. For example, if you defeat a level 2 monster, the level 3 seed, and so on, will be lowered. However, if you are going to use this method, remember that the higher the level of the monsters, the harder it will be to defeat them.

To grow level 4 seeds, plant them near level 3 seeds. In total you must have eight crops of the same color before you can start harvesting. Your goal is to beat the level 4 seed monster. These seeds include Wild Thorn, Live Scaelefruit and Primordial Blisterfruit. When you're done, you can grow the Heart of the Grove, which is available after 100 cards.

Beating the Heart of the Grove

Now that you know how to collect the boss, be careful to beat him. The heart will attack the player with missiles, so you have to be fast to avoid this attack. You can distinguish the boss phases by color. It's best to attack when he's attacking, so stay on the defensive until you find the right opportunity.

His orange phase causes him to perform Sacred Suffering, i.e. a yellow spot on the floor. You have to keep it from spreading, so destroy the wall to avoid damage. In the meantime, her purple phase will cause her to charge and fire a thorn ball, so take cover if necessary. In the green phase, the boss equips the Hammer of the Vine with which he will break the ground, so you'll want to avoid this charged attack again, while maintaining distance. The blue phase then charges the volatile Sadard and sends snakes that turn into balls to chase the player.

If you've taken a break from PoE trading and general grinding to complete this Harvest Boss, you can be proud to beat the Ultimate Boss of this latest addition to the popular ARPG title. If you want to complete even more challenges, remember that you can revive the Heart of the Grove to experience it again.
