Tangletongue has quickly become one of the most sought-after unique items in Path of Exile 2, especially after the introduction of patch 0.2.0. This unique spear pairs exceptionally well with the Lightning Spear Amazon build, making it a favorite among many players.

In this guide, we'll delve into how to acquire this prized weapon and effectively utilize its unique abilities for your character builds.

How to Get Tangletongue

Tangletongue is classified as a random drop, meaning it cannot be strategically farmed. It is a level 81 item and can be equipped by characters with a minimum level of 26, requiring 20 Strength and 48 Dexterity.

Since it's not possible to specifically target this item for farming, increasing your Item Rarity will enhance its drop rate. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also utilize an Orb of Chance to skip the farming process altogether.

With only 9 unique spear outcomes, another effective strategy is to manipulate your weapon pool, which can significantly reduce the time spent trying to obtain Tangletongue, especially in leagues like SSF League.

If you prefer the quickest approach, consider purchasing it directly from the PoE 2 trade website. Corrupted versions of Tangletongue can be found for as little as 1 Exalted Orb, so be sure to check the stats that suit your build best.

Tangletongue Unique Effects Explained

The unique ability of Tangletongue, known as Forks Critical Hits, distinguishes it from many other weapons in the game. The 'Fork' mechanic allows a projectile to hit additional enemies nearby. Importantly, when it applies to Critical Hits, it doesn’t fork the projectiles but rather doubles the damage inflicted on a single critical strike.

This is particularly beneficial for players utilizing the Lightning Spear Amazon build, as the build revolves around maximizing critical hit chances. With the added effects of Power Charges, you can further amplify your Lightning Spear attacks, increasing their effectiveness in battle.

A Forked Critical Hit will essentially yield double the damage from the spear’s strikes, so integrating this mechanic effectively into your gameplay can significantly enhance your overall damage output. Ensuring proper synergy between your skills, support skills, and passive abilities will create a powerful combination that can dominate in both boss fights and enemy encounters.

For players looking to optimize their builds, mastery of Tangletongue's mechanics can be the key to unlocking new levels of performance and efficiency in the game.
