Why Ritual in SSF is Amazing - PoE 3.24 - SSF Guide 

love that you actually explain your progression through the strategy. ty

I love ssf and i love people that make content for ssf. So sub and like ❤

I have been doing a lot of ritual in SSF. Couple things I have found (like 90% sure): 1. I believe it is the case that the map boss does not summon until you first kill him in a ritual. So if the altar is in the boss arena do that one first and then he spawns in all 4 of the Rituals. Second filled vessels can lead to insane amounts of favor as it adds those monsters to the base and also has the bonuses. Can get pretty rippy sometimes though. Third, it seemed to me that if you run beyond then you get credit for the beyond monsters that spawn during the ritual so a ritual/beyond combo can be pretty fun. And then lastly when you have the reliquary scarab that has unique mobs drop unique items and then combine that with rogue exile and the gemling ones along with the increased favor for uniques you can get some silly maps that drop uniques on kills, uniques after then tons of favor. I have mostly done it on easier yellow maps, T16 could be crazy juiced like this. Again I am pretty sure the information is correct but could be mis perception on my part.

Wow, that makes ritual so much better; thanks! Awesome protips btw...

Did SSF for the first time, glad to see your content as there is very little for this little niche of the game.

I'd like to see you try to use the 4 rituals on a map paired with expeditions, necropolis with a map boss accompanying the high density mob and other AllFlames (like drops exalted/chaos/glass/600% rarity/pack size/accompanied by rogues, etc), mixed with multiple red beasts, and possessed rogue exhiles, and mixed with beyond. Combine that with whatever scarabs, stones, etc. on a map that's rolled with increased pack size as well (and hopefully rarity/quantity). The map would preferably be linear to ensure mobs are easily baitable. The idea would be to avoid killing anything, discover the location of the expedition and set the explosives quickly but avoiding like the mods you can't handle, find the beasts, rituals, and the many map bosses on the field. Then, find the closest ritual to the expedition, blow the charges, bait them to the ritual along with any other mobs/beasts/bosses/etc, complete the ritual, bait more stuff to the next one, trigger ritual (respawning all those killed on the prior ritual), complete ritual, repeat for the last 2 rituals. It should quadruple the expedition, map bosses, beasts, etc. It would be rippy AF, but would make for a sweet video and possibly crazy loot. 🤪 😅😂 The altar rewards isn't really the goal, whereas the replication of monsters is. I don't know if drops are disabled on recurring mobs, but if they aren't it would be nutso. If it does work, it would be like running 3-4 maps in one.

Nice vid! Forgot vessels though - follow-up vid?

loot filter tip was something i didnt notice myself :D

So, kill all mobs first including bosses before starting rituals on the map? Or okay to clear rituals as you come across them?

FIRST

I love SSF, my mate and I play it every league now for however long it's been since we made the switch away from tradeling. However... I HATE RITUAL I HATE RITUAL I HATE RITUAL

Good video guide on ritual, but ritual is garbage in SSF (and probably trade). Most of what it's good for (currency) is much better to get through expedition and heist. Coincidentally, you can also get fractured/synthesis bases from these mechanics, much more consistently than ritual. Can you get something amazing from ritual? Yes, maybe, eventually. In SSF is it likely going to be valuable to you if it does happen? Very unlikely. Run ritual if you like ritual. Don't run it, especially in SSF, if you're trying to get something you need (except maybe a ritual base).
