Question 1

What are Forbidden Jewels in Path of Exile?

Accepted Answer

In Path of Exile, Forbidden Jewels refer to a specific pair of unique jewels—Forbidden Flesh and Forbidden Flame—that allow a character to access powerful ascendancy passives from other sub-classes.

Question 2

How Do Forbidden Jewels Work in PoE?

Accepted Answer

To make them work, you need both Forbidden Flesh and Forbidden Flame socketed in your passive tree. Both jewels must grant the same Ascendancy Notable skill and correspond to your character's base class. For example, a Duelist with the Slayer ascendancy can use a pair to gain a node from the Champion tree.

Question 3

Can I Use Forbidden Jewels for Notable From a Different Class?

Accepted Answer

No. You can only use Forbidden jewels to gain Notables from sub-classes within your own parent class. A Ranger cannot use these jewels to gain a Marauder or Witch passive; they can only choose from Deadeye, Raider, or Pathfinder nodes.

Question 4

Where Do Forbidden Flesh and Flame Drop?

Accepted Answer

These jewels are exclusive boss drops. Forbidden Flesh drops from The Eater of Worlds, while Forbidden Flame drops from The Searing Exarch. Because they drop from different pinnacle bosses, finding a matching pair with the same rare Notable is extremely difficult through solo play.
