The Sun Priest's Incineration Rare Finisher Effect is one of the newest and most eye-catching rewards available in Path of Exile 2. The good news? You don't need insane RNG or endless farming to earn it—it's part of the Twitch Drops program tied to the upcoming reveal event for The Third Edict. Here's everything you need to know to secure yours.

Step 1 – Watch the Third Edict Reveal on Twitch

The reward is linked to the GGG Live broadcast for Path of Exile 2: The Third Edict.

• Date: August 20th, 2025
• Time: 1PM PDT (or August 21, 4:00 AM GMT+8 for many players overseas)
• Where: twitch.tv/pathofexile or any channel in the Path of Exile 2 directory with Drops enabled

The livestream will feature the reveal of Patch 0.3.0, a Q&A session with Jonathan and Mark hosted by ZiggyD, and the full patch notes.

Step 2 – Link Your Path of Exile Account to Twitch

To make sure your rewards actually show up in your PoE account, you'll need to link your accounts before watching.

1. Log in to your Path of Exile account.
2. Go to Twitch Settings under Other Connections.
3. Click Connect next to Twitch and authorize the connection.
4. If linked successfully, you'll see confirmation that your accounts are connected.

Once connected, any Twitch Drop rewards you earn will transfer straight into your microtransaction stash.

Step 3 – Watch for 45 Minutes

This is the easy part:

• You need to accumulate 45 minutes of watch time on any eligible PoE 2 stream.
• The window runs from 1PM PDT to 10PM PDT on August 20th (or Aug 21, 4:00 AM – 1:00 PM GMT+8).
• Drops are guaranteed, so as long as you watch for 45 minutes, you'll get the reward.

You don't even have to stay on the main channel—you can watch any co-streamer with drops enabled.

If you’re new to the game and don’t want to start from scratch, you can also buy PoE 2 account options that come prepped for the latest content—making it easier to enjoy rewards like the Sun Priest’s Incineration Finisher without the grind.

Step 4 – Redeem from Your Twitch Inventory

After you've watched long enough, the reward will appear in your Twitch Inventory.

• Go to your Twitch profile → Inventory.
• Click Claim on the Sun Priest's Incineration Finisher.
• The item will be instantly delivered to your Path of Exile account.

Don't forget to claim it before the promotion ends, or you'll miss out!

Step 5 – Use It in Path of Exile 1 and 2

Once redeemed, the finisher effect will show up in your Microtransaction Stash in both Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2. You can slot it onto your character right away and melt enemies with a fiery display.

For players who miss the event, GGG confirmed that this effect will eventually be available in the in-game store at a later date—but grabbing it now through Twitch Drops is your free shot at it.

The Sun Priest's Incineration Rare Finisher Effect is a flashy new reward that's free for anyone willing to tune in for 45 minutes. It's one of the simplest ways to spice up your character's style without spending a dime, and it's also a great excuse to watch the full reveal of The Third Edict update.

Make sure your accounts are linked, your Twitch Inventory is ready, and your calendar is marked for August 20th. Trust me—you don't want to miss this one.
