How to fix Trusted Kinship and have two different Companions in PoE2
Trusted Kinship node in PoE 2, although activated, still does not allow you to use two companions at once? With us you will learn how to get rid of this problem.

Path of Exile 2 allows you to create a build around your companions. These are minions of a different kind, offering a variety of auras, buffs or raw “firepower”. The catch is that they can only be opponents caught using the Tame Beast skill. In its basic form, you can have 1 such helper. Trusted Kinship allows you to employ two active beasts. However, the problem is that despite activating this node, some players still can't summon two at once. If you are among people affected by this, here is the solution.
Path of Exile 2 – Trusted kinship fix explained
Trusted Kinship is a node on the eastern side of the tree. It offers the ability to activate two companions at the same time, but lowering the overall defense of your character. They are acquired using the Tame Beast skill. The snag is that some players are experiencing a problem that prevents them from activating a second helper even after enabling Trusted Kinship. A message then appears: Companion Limit Reached. The solution is as follows:
- Equip the gem of the first companion, and then activate it with your Spirit.
- When the companion is active, take off this gem.
- Then, insert the second gem from a different type of beast and also activate it with your Spirit.
- Leave the second gem equipped and re-insert the first one.
By doing this, you will be able to avoid the “Companion Limit Reached” bug. However, if you still have this message after doing the above, then perhaps the problem is due to something else. Make sure you have the right amount of Spirit (each companion takes a certain % of your maximum Spirit - if the cost of two beasts is more than 100%, then summoning them together will not be possible). Moreover, other minions may also count towards the overall limit, so if you use skeletons, for example, try to see if the message disappears when you don't use them.
