This will be a hybrid of a Beginner's Guide for Path of Exile 3.0 (Fall of Oriath) and a Let's play. I figured I would give the tips starting with the very basics as the game progresses instead of trying to jam everything into one long guide. There is a ton of info that goes into POE and it's easy to get overwhelmed.

In this episode I work my way through "Intruders In Black" quest. I head over to the Chamber Of Sins west of the Crossroads. Inside we need to take care of Fidelitas and then rescue and talk to Helena.

3.0 Patch notes:
--------------------

Major New Content and Features:

-Added Acts Five through Ten.
Removed the Cruel and Merciless difficulty levels. Path of Exile is now a single ten-act playthrough.
-Added a new Character Selection Screen.
-Added a new feature - the Pantheon system: Best the ancient gods of Wraeclast in battle and you can claim a portion of their power. There are four Major god powers and seven Minor god powers to be claimed in The Fall of Oriath. You can have one Major and one Minor power active at a time, and can return to any town or hideout to change which powers are active at no cost. Later, each power can be upgraded by placing a Divine Vessel in your map device before you defeat certain map bosses.
-Added a new feature - the Help panel: As you play Path of Exile, you can unlock Help panel pages. These can be viewed by clicking on a new Help button next to the Shop button. Each panel is designed to introduce you to an aspect of Path of Exile's gameplay, and give you the tools you need to explore the features yourself.

-The game HUD has been updated to the Eclipse theme used throughout The Fall of Oriath.

New Skill Gems:

-Added a new Intelligence Skill Gem - Dark Pact: Sacrifice a portion of your skeleton minion's life to deal chaos damage in an area around it. This effect will chain to your other nearby skeletons. If you control no skeletons in the targeted area, you will sacrifice a portion of your own life and deal greater chaos damage in a larger area.
-Added a new Intelligence Skill Gem - Storm Burst: Channel to unleash a stream of projectiles that deal lightning damage and always pierce through enemies. When you stop channeling, the projectiles explode, dealing significant damage in an area around them. Additional projectiles are added in sequence.
