Gathering spirit in Path of Exile 2 is vital for powering up your build. Whether you're a Warrior wanting to activate persistent buffs to bolster your attacks, or a Witch who craves to summon more skeletal minions in her army of the dead. Spirit is a rare resource, especially for anyone who doesn't use a sceptre.
Still, there are ways to get it. Unlike a lot of other attributes, your primary source for this one isn't gear, and you actually have to beat a couple of bosses early on if you want to get rolling with your persistent buffs. All that said, here's how to get spirit in Path of Exile 2.

There are two different ways to get spirit in Path of Exile 2 and they're slightly unusual. Unlike your regular attributes, which you get through most gear and the passive skill tree, spirit is a special case—I guess because it's so powerful in allowing you to activate and slot support gems into persistent buffs, or summon extra minions.
The first way you can get spirit is by defeating specific bosses and consuming the item they drop. The earliest of these are:
Both of these bosses also drop an uncut spirit gem so you can gain a persistent buff skill for yourself. The second way is you can get spirit through sceptres and solar amulets, so keep an eye out if you're a sorceress or a witch, or gamble to get one through a random gear vendor.
As mentioned, spirit is very strong as a resource, but generally you'll want to use the two increments of +30 you get from the bosses above to get two persistent buffs up and running, and then get additional spirit on your amulet so you can slot support gems into them.
