Path of Exile – Act 5: Overseer’s Tower

Route and starting point

Slave Pens → Overseer’s Tower → Control Blocks → Oriath Square → Templar Courts → Chamber of Innocence. Then Ruined Square → Reliquary/Ossuary → Cathedral Rooftop.

The area sequence describes connections rather than fixed screen directions: instances are procedurally generated. Activate waypoints and keep quest items until handed in.

Main and side quests

1. Return to Oriath

   Kill Overseer Krow in the Slave Pens, use the ladder to the Overseer’s Tower and speak to Lani. Use the resistance-ring reward to improve your weakest elemental resistance.

2. The Key to Freedom

   Defeat Justicar Casticus in the Control Blocks and recover the Eyes of Zeal key. Use it to open the locked route into the city. Choose an appropriate utility flask as the reward.

3. In Service to Science

   Find Vilenta’s Miasmeter in the Control Blocks and return it to her in the Overseer’s Tower. This awards one extra passive point; use the book.

4. Death to Purity

   Travel through the Templar Courts to the Chamber of Innocence. Defeat High Templar Avarius and then Innocence. Reset your flask and positioning plan between phases.

5. The King's Feast

   Defeat Utula in the Ruined Square and collect the weapon reward. Swap weapons only when actual damage and skill requirements fit; a rare item is not automatically stronger.

6. Kitava's Torments

   Collect all three Karui artefacts in the Reliquary and return them to Lani. Reward: one passive point and two refund points.

7. The Ravenous God

   Retrieve the Sign of Purity from the Ossuary and fight Kitava on the Cathedral Rooftop. Return to Wraeclast afterwards. Kitava’s curse reduces all elemental and chaos resistances by 30 percentage points.

Boss strategy and power check

Innocence: play the large projectile phase defensively and pay attention to cover. Kitava: read hand movements and switch targets during heart phases. Open your character sheet afterwards; a previous 75% resistance becomes only 45% without replacement.

Before the next act

Both skill books used; resistances repaired after Kitava; new flasks equipped; no important gem disabled by missing attributes.
