In Path of Exile 2, Act 1 features a significant main quest known as 'The Trail of Corruption.' This quest is notably lengthy and culminates in a challenging boss battle. Throughout the quest, players will navigate through various areas, including 'the Village,' which the game does not explicitly guide you to. Fortunately, our comprehensive guide below provides all the necessary information to successfully progress through this quest in Path of Exile 2.

When the game mentions 'the Village' in your quest objectives for The Trail of Corruption, it is actually referring to 'Ogham Village.' Ogham Village is a level 13 location situated southwest of the Clearfell Encampment on your world map. The path to Ogham Village involves traversing Ogham Farmlands, a vast area filled with seemingly endless cornfields, making the journey even more arduous. Ogham Farmlands is one of the largest locations in Act 1, and although Ogham Village is located to the west on your map, heading in that direction is not the correct approach.

Instead, you need to navigate north through Ogham Farmlands, which involves moving east and west at certain points due to the non-linear layout of the farmlands. Below, you'll find a map screenshot pinpointing the exact location of Ogham Village within Ogham Farmlands. It should take approximately 10-15 minutes to navigate through the enemies scattered across Ogham Farmlands if you're heading north. Additionally, there are optional side bosses throughout the farmlands that offer valuable rewards, such as Uncut Skill Gems, so we recommend engaging with them.

There are also side quests available in Ogham Farmlands that you should complete before proceeding to Ogham Village. Given the formidable boss awaiting at the end of The Trail of Corruption, maximizing your XP and rewards will significantly aid your progress. One notable side quest in Ogham Farmlands is 'The Lost Lute,' which involves Una, an NPC you meet in the Clearfell Encampment. You can either initiate the quest by speaking to her before entering Ogham Farmlands or find the lute yourself without any map markers.

To locate the lute, head directly north from the entrance of Ogham Farmlands and you'll encounter a large hut. Inside this hut, you'll find a Lute Box containing Luna's Lost Lute. Return the lute to Una to complete the Lost Lute side quest.
