Path of Exile 2: Ignagduk The Bog Witch Boss Guide

Ignagduk, the Bog Witch, is a powerful witch lurking in the Azak Bog in Path of Exile 2. While defeating her is optional, doing so is highly recommended.

Not only is defeating her part of the Tribal Vengeance quest for Servi, but she is also one of the very few bosses that bestow you with more Spirit once defeated.

Spirit is an incredibly rare and valuable resource in Path of Exile 2, particularly if you are playing a Witch.

If you want more Spirit, or perhaps you just want to tick the Tribal Vengeance quest off your to-do list, you will find everything you need to do so in this Path of Exile 2 guide on how to defeat Ignadgduk.

Where to Find Ignagduk, the Bog Witch

Ignagduk, the Bog Witch, lurks in the depths of the Azak Bog. To get there, you must first reach Act 3 of Path of Exile 2. Then, while exploring the Infested Barrens, search for the entrance to the Azak Bog.

Once there, you will have to fight through the hordes to reach Gor-Gor-Mog, the Lair of the Bog Witch.

Complete the Flameskin Ritual

Before you infiltrate the lair, however, there is one task you might want to complete first. Slightly below the Lair of the Bog Witch lies another wide arena with five Pyres around its perimeter and another larger one in the center.

The arena is, unsurprisingly, guarded by waves of enemies. Once you take them down, light all the Effigies by interacting with them to complete the Flameskin Ritual and activate Ignagduk’s Harvest.

Best Builds to Take on Ignagduk, the Bog Witch

Ignagduk’s weakness is cold, so Cold Snap or Freezing builds will work wonders here. Cold Snap Witch, Cold Snap Sorceress, or Permafrost Merc would make taking Ignagduk down a breeze.

Changing your entire build to defeat one boss isn’t always viable in PoE 2, however, as respeccing your skill tree can be a costly endeavor.

Switching up your spells to channel more cold is a more cost-effective way of tailoring your damage to target Ignagduk, the Bog Witch.

While cold damage is best, however, it isn’t compulsory. We managed to take her down quite comfortably with our Infernalist Witch Build.

How to Beat Ignagduk, the Bog Witch

Weakness: Cold Recommended Resistance: Fire Resistance Recommended Level: Level 35

In terms of preparation for the Bog Witch, you will want to make sure you have some pretty hefty fire resistance. Any weapons or spells you have that deal cold damage will also be helpful, as cold is Ignagduk’s weakness. The Azak Bog as a whole is a level 35 area, so somewhere around level 35 is a good place to be before taking her on.

Sick of lugging those relics around?

The Bog Witch has many tricks up her sleeve, but her attacks are mainly bone and fire-related.

One of her most common attacks is a Bone Blast, which you can predict by looking out for the red ritual circles on the ground. Quickly dodge out of the way before they strike.

She will also hop on her broomstick and fly around the arena, leaving a trail of razor-sharp bones in her wake.

Her last bone spell is a Bone Storm-like move that summons projectiles that slice through the arena.

In addition to her proficiency with bone, Ignagduk has a couple of powerful fire spells that blanket the arena in flame.

Her most formidable spell is a large channel of bone that she summons from the ground.

If you get caught in the bone channel, make your escape as soon as possible, as within a few seconds, the entire area will be engulfed in flames.

When it comes to actually defeating Ignagduk, you have plenty of opportunities to strike. She is hard to target while flying on her broomstick, but other than that, she is relatively stationary. That gives you plenty of good chances to land hits.

The main things to look out for are her ritual circles on the ground, her bone channel attack, and any flying bone projectiles. As long as you keep your eyes on your surroundings as well as on her, you will be able to take Ignagduk down in no time.

Ignagduk, the Bog Witch Rewards

Defeating the Bog Witch will earn you a host of random rewards, as well as two special rewards. These are the Gemrot Skull and Ignagduk’s Ghastly Spear.

Ignagduk’s Ghastly Spear is an item you will need to take to Servi to complete the Tribal Vengeance quest. Servi will offer you five charms as a reward, though you can only pick one. Servi offers you the following charms:

Analyst’s Thawing Charm of the Plentiful: Grants Immunity to Freeze Investigator’s Staunching Charm of the Medic: Grants Immunity to Bleeding Antidote Charm of the Verdant: Grants Immunity to Poison Sprouting Dousing Charm of the Medic: Grants Immunity to Ignite Grounding Charm of the Doctor: Grants Immunity to Shocked

The Gemrot Skull is an item that you can right-click in your inventory to consume. Doing so will grant you 30 Spirit and an Uncut Spirit Gem, which you can use to get Buff Skill Gems.

Buffs are spells that run constantly in the background and can provide a whole host of different effects. Buffs do require Spirit to run, but thankfully, the Gemrot Skull provided you with some.

If you need more Spirit, there are a few other bosses you can defeat that will provide you with similar consumable items. The King in the Mists is an Act 1 boss that you can find in Freythorn that will also boost your Spirit.
