The Scion

The daughter of corrupt nobles, the Scion was exiled to Wraeclast for killing her husband on her wedding night. She is aligned with all three core attributes - Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence, which places her right in the center of the passive skill tree. This unique position allows her to develop into almost any type of character build, while lacking the dedicated specialisation that the six existing classes offer.

Because of her high learning curve, she's initially unavailable to new players. The player must rescue the Scion at the end of Act 3, just before the last boss, this will not require killing the last boss. This can be done on Path of Exile's Normal Difficulty (in any league) to unlock her as an accessible character.

Her starting attributes are 20 intelligence, 20 dexterity and 20 strength. Her starting skill is .

Unlocking The Scion

You can unlock Scion, simly by completing normal mode, with any other character.

Text and Speech

Intro speech

"The youngest daughter of a respect family. Dresses, dances, suitors... a fortunate life for one fortunately born. My life... had I not been different. Had I not thought more clearly, learned more quickly, dreamed more deeply and darkly than any child should.

There seems to be no limit to what I can do, no walls containing my talents. To my parents, I was a raw nugget to be battered and moulded into a prize for admiration, for envy... for sale. That life died on a wedding bed in Theopolis.

Today, Wraeclast offers me a new life, written not by birth, nor family, nor society. This life will be written to answer but on question: Who am I?"

Unique NPC Dialogue

Bestel's Introduction: "Judging by those eyes of yours, I'd best count you a friend. I wouldn't last long as a foe. The name's Bestel, captain of the good ship 'Merry Gull'. Swift and pretty she was. Nothing like the High Templar's rubbish scow that brought you here. Alas the Merry Gull is gone... my crew is gone. But my wits remain... after a fashion."

Nessa's Introduction: "Welcome to our home away from home... for what it's worth. I'm Nessa. That putrid giant you just laid to rest? That was Hillock. You're lucky; he's eaten stronger exiles than you. Don't count on that luck lasting. It's in short supply here in Wraeclast. Still, you've rid us of a curse, and we owe you our thanks."

Grigor, on Clarissa: "When you've had your eyes-full of my twisted visage turns those fine jellies of yours eastward. A copper-headed lass and her boy-mate, they've procured themselves some strife."
