Localization setting

If you've hit Kriar Village in the Interlude of Path of Exile 2 and spotted the Roving Wisps point of interest, you've probably run into the same problem many of us did: you clear everything, but the POI refuses to gray out on the map. Don't worry—you're not missing anything big. I'll walk you through exactly what the Roving Wisps are, how to complete them, what rewards you actually get, and why the map still looks incomplete.

What Are Roving Wisps?

Roving Wisps are basically a guaranteed set of three Azmeri Wisp encounters in the Kriar Village map.

1. You'll see the POI on the map with the description “Follow the Wisps.”
2. Each wisp floats around randomly until it finds a rare monster.
3. Once it fuses, that rare becomes Azmeri Infused—a souped-up enemy with extra mods and better loot.

Think of it like a mini side-quest, but instead of dialogue or a boss fight, it's a “track the shiny light, smash the monster” kind of deal.

Step-by-Step: How to Complete Roving Wisps

Here's the practical breakdown of how I do it every time:

1. Enter Kriar Village
   Clear out some of the trash mobs first so you don't get mobbed while chasing wisps.
2. Find the First Wisp
   They spawn in random spots across the map. Keep an eye out for glowing orbs zipping around corners or floating just ahead of you.
3. Follow the Wisp
   Don't rush it. The wisp will eventually drift into a rare monster. Stay close enough so you don't lose track.
4. Defeat the Infused Rare
   Once the wisp merges, the monster powers up. Drop it fast and collect the loot.
5. Repeat Two More Times
   There are always three wisps here. Hunt them down, follow, fight, loot. That's it.

If you’re chasing down wisps for loot or just pushing for full clears, remember that the real prize is the infused rares’ drops. And if you ever feel short on resources to keep grinding, checking a trusted marketplace for Cheap PoE 2 Currency can save you time and keep your build rolling smoothly.

Are Roving Wisps Bugged?

Yes, and it's annoying.

1. Even after finishing all three, the POI icon never grays out like other completed objectives.
2. This is just a visual bug. The wisps don't respawn after you clear them, which means the game internally knows you're done.

So, no—you're not doing anything wrong. The map is just lying to you.

Rewards: What Do You Actually Get?

Here's the blunt truth:

Important note: The +40 Spirit bonus is tied to the boss fight, not the Roving Wisps. Clearing the POI doesn't give you anything extra—it's basically a marker to tell you, “hey, you'll find three wisps here.”

Quick Recap

1. Roving Wisps = 3 Azmeri Wisps in Kriar Village.
2. Follow each wisp → it fuses into a rare → kill it for loot.
3. The map bug means the POI never shows as complete, even when it is.
4. Rewards = loot only. The +40 Spirit comes from killing Lythara, not the wisps.

So don't stress about 100% completion here. Clear the wisps, grab your loot, beat the boss, and move on. Until GGG patches the map icon bug, this is as “complete” as it gets.
