Bleed Witchhunter – Crimson Pledge (Episode 1) | Path of Exile 2 HC SSF Begins

Welcome to Episode 1: Crimson Pledge, of my new Path of Exile 2 Hardcore Solo Self-Found journey — the rise of the Bleed Witch Hunter.
Crossbows in patch 0.3 hit completely differently, and this build is built around turning every shot into a ticking death sentence. Armor-Piercing Rounds for machine-gun clearing, High-Velocity Rounds for surgical boss deletion, and bleed stacking that rips enemies apart.

This first episode covers the grind from the Riverbank to the Grim Tangle, building the foundations of a ruthless bleed engine. Every fight is earned, every step forward matters, and every mistake could end the run.

If you enjoy cinematic Hardcore progression, detailed narration, and a serious approach to SSF survival, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to Last Exile Standing.
