118 articlesThe “Clearing the Way” quest during the Interlude in Path of Exile 2 asks you to find and slay two monsters, Akthi and Anundr. These two are a menace and they’re making the area pretty unsafe for others. Not everybody is an OP monster-slaying machine like your character, after all! Read on, we’ll help you find these monsters so that you can put them to rest.
Find Akthi and Anundr for Clearing the Way Quest | Path of Exile 2
You can find Akthi and Anundr in the eastern quarter of The Khari Crossing in the Interlude. You naturally get to this zone after reaching the Khari Bazaar. As far as we can tell, this zone is relatively static. So, Akthi and Anundr always spawn in the same location. Just head east using the map above as a reference as soon as you enter the zone.
As soon as you walk into the arena past the checkpoint, both Akthi and Anundr will spawn. This is a 2 vs 1 boss battle, so you’ll need to be mindful of both of them! Make sure to stay agile so that you can avoid their attacks.
Manage to take down these beasties and you’re all done here. You just need to return to the Khari Bazaar and speak with Risu again. She’ll thank you for taking these monsters down, allowing other akharas to join the Gifting of Water ritual. Doesn’t it feel nice to help those in need?
