Welcome to Stormfate! Check out our Seismic Trap Saboteur League Starter Build Guides for Patch 3.20 – The Forbidden Sanctum. Read more News, Patch Notes and Blog Posts about Path of Exile!
The Forbidden Sanctum is a roguelike that takes place within Path of Exile. You will explore the Templars’ sanctum which is rumored to be hidden beneath the Fellshrine Ruins. Long abandoned, a malevolent presence has taken hold. In each area of Wraeclast you play through, you will have the opportunity to explore one room of the Sanctum as you search for its treasures.

Check out our full League Summary here.
The Seismic Trap Saboteur throws Traps to deal damage to their enemies. Seismic Traps lasts for 4 seconds, and releases a wave of damage every second. In the meantime, you will use another Trap – either Exsanguinate or Blade Trap – to deal damage to your enemies. Otherwise, this Build focuses a lot on your Survivability and allows you a smooth playstyle with almost only 2 alternating buttons.
In order to be able to play this Build, you have to choose a Shadow in the Character Creation.
Before you reach the Endgame, players have to finish all 10 Acts of the Campaign. Most of the times, you will not be able to use the same abilities in the early game as you do in the Endgame. Here is an overview how you can progress easily throughout the Campaign. In this List, you will find all Gems to use in the Early Game, and To-Do Lists for all Act 1 – 10.
For even further advice to Leveling, refer to our Leveling Guide here.

In Act 2, Players are tasked to kill three Bosses, Oak, Kraityn and Alira. You can either “Help” or “Kill” them, whenever you engage with them. You can “Help” only one of them, or kill them all. This Quest will grant Players a Bonus for their Character Power, depending on their choice. This choice can be changed later on if you made a mistake.
In our Lightning Conduit Elementalist Build, we kill all Bandits.
