What Causes the "Requirements Not Met" Bug in Path of Exile 2?
Players report receiving the "Requirements Not Met" message even when adjacent nodes are unlocked and skill points appear available. The root cause is debated; it might be a genuine bug or an unforeseen consequence of the skill point system. Regardless, resolving this error is crucial for progression.

Troubleshooting the "Requirements Not Met" Error in Path of Exile 2
Several fixes have been reported by players. Let's explore these potential solutions.
Verify Skill Point Types
Check the top-right corner of your screen. It displays your available skill point types: Skill Points, Weapon Set I, Weapon Set II, and eventually, Ascendancy Points. Ensure you have the correct point type before allocating.
Resetting Skill Points
Visit "The Hooded One" in Clearfell Encampment (unlocked after completing "The Mysterious Shade" quest). This NPC facilitates respeccing and, unexpectedly, serves as a workaround for the "Requirements Not Met" bug.
Refunding your skill points and reallocating them has proven effective for many players. While time-consuming, it's currently the most reliable solution.
Path of Exile 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
