How to Get United in Dream

Getting a United in Dream Cutlass requires a combination of item progression, farming, and trading. It does not drop naturally; instead, it is an upgrade of a precursor item—Severed in Sleep.

Step 1: Obtain Severed in Sleep

Before you can get United in Dream, you need its base version: Severed in Sleep, a unique Cutlass that drops only from specific sources.

How to get Severed in Sleep:

Drop Source: Severed in Sleep is a random drop from the unique boss "The Elder" and his guardians in maps influenced by Elder.

Map Tier: Higher-tier Elder maps (T14–T16) have better chances.

Delirium and Simulacrum: It may also drop in certain high-loot density league mechanics like Delirium or Simulacrums when Elder-themed items are included.

Divination Cards: As of now, there is no Divination Card that directly gives Severed in Sleep.

Alternatively, you can buy it from other players via:

Path of Exile Trade (official site) or

Community trade websites like poe.trade or TFT Discord.

Prices may vary depending on the league, meta, and availability but usually range between 5 to 20 Chaos Orbs in softcore trade leagues.

Step 2: Use a Blessing of Chayula

To upgrade Severed in Sleep to United in Dream, you need a Blessing of Chayula, which is a rare upgrade material.

How to get Blessing of Chayula:

Drop Location: Blessing of Chayula drops from Chayula, Who Dreamt, the final boss of the Breachlord domain.

How to fight Chayula:

Collect Chayula Splinters (from Breach encounters)

Combine 100 splinters to make a Chayula’s Breachstone

Run the Breachstone in the Map Device

Kill Chayula and hope for the Blessing of Chayula drop (not guaranteed)

Uul-Netol’s Domain (Optional): While farming breachstones, consider targeting multiple Breachlords to sustain splinter farming

Alternative: Trade

Buy Blessing of Chayula from players via trade. Prices often range from 60–120 Chaos POE orbs depending on the economy and league availability.

Step 3: Use the Blessing of Chayula on Severed in Sleep

Once you have both:

Severed in Sleep (unique Cutlass)

Blessing of Chayula (currency item)

Use the Blessing of Chayula on the Severed in Sleep to upgrade it into United in Dream. This upgrade retains quality and socket colors, so make sure it’s already optimized.

Farming Tips and Strategies

If you’re intent on self-farming United in Dream instead of buying it, here’s the most efficient method:

1. Farm Elder-Influenced Maps

Run maps influenced by Elder or wait for Atlas passives to offer Elder-influenced content.

Target Elder Guardians and The Elder himself.

Use sextants, scarabs, and map device mods to increase monster packs.

2. Breachstone Rotation

Run Chayula’s Pure Breachstone for higher Blessing drop chances.

Consider forming party rotations to farm efficiently.

Use the Breach Atlas passive tree on the right side to boost breach spawn rate.

3. Betrayal Safehouse Farming

Target It That Fled or Vagan in Transportation/Research to get Breach-related currency in Safehouses.

4. Use Kirac Missions & Scarabs

Occasionally Kirac offers Elder-influenced maps.

Use Breach Scarabs and Elder Scarabs together for maximum synergy.

United in Dream Build Synergy

This weapon is excellent in chaos or poison minion builds:

Recommended Builds:

Herald of Agony Poison Minion: Boosts Crawler damage and poison proliferation.

Carrion Golem Chaos Build: Adds Envy aura and synergizes with Poison Golems.

Spectre Summoners: Especially those using fast-attacking chaos casters.

Animate Weapon Poison: Animate multiple chaos damage-dealing weapons.

Its built-in level 25 Envy aura adds flat chaos damage to all weapons and minions, and its poison synergy opens up scaling with damage over time multipliers.

Final Thoughts

United in Dream is one of the strongest minion weapons in Path of Exile when it comes to chaos or poison scaling. Though it requires some effort—getting a Severed in Sleep, farming or purchasing a Blessing of Chayula, and applying the upgrade—it pays off by drastically increasing minion DPS and giving you access to powerful scaling mechanics through Envy and poison synergy.

Whether you’re delving deep, bossing in Maven’s Crucible, or just clearing maps fast with poisoned Crawlers or Weapons, United in Dream offers a reliable path to chaos minion supremacy.
