How do Forbidden Flesh and Forbidden Fire work in Path of Exile?

With the Siege of the Atlas expansion opening the door to more than a few new options for Path of Exile players, from Omniscience to new Eldritch Currency, it would exist like shooting fish in a barrel to miss a few. But whatsoever you exercise, don't overlook Forbidden Flesh and Forbidden Flame, which introduce 1 of the more exciting new mechanics to the game.

These two new unique gems give players the ability to proceeds skills from dissimilar Clout classes, something we've never been able to do before in Path of Exile. The procedure isn't as easy equally simply finding the gems and equipping them, though.

The offset trick to unlocking the power of these gems is finding them. And although it won't be easy, this part is at least straightforward. The gems will drop from the two new Meridian bosses added in the Siege of the Atlas expansion. Forbidden Flesh can drib from The Eater of Worlds, while Forbidden Flame can drib from The Searing Exarch.

But getting both halves isn't plenty. You will also need to make certain the halves accept matching Clout Passives. And while they can be from a different Ascendancy grade than your graphic symbol, they will even so need to match your overarching class. So for example, a Champion could gain skills from the Slayer or Gladiator Passive trees, only not from the Elementalist Passive tree.
