This Path of Exile 2 guide focuses on the Trial of the Sekhemas, an endgame activity offering substantial loot. While not a main quest, it significantly aids early character progression. This guide covers unlocking and completing the Trial.
The Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2 is reminiscent of the Sanctum from the first game. Early on, it presents a challenge, particularly for less powerful characters.
To access the Trial, defeat Balbala the Traitor, located in Traitor's Passage within Act 2. Her swift, powerful attacks can be difficult early game. Upon defeating her, she drops Balbala's Barya, crucial for initiating the Trial.
After defeating Balbala, navigate to the Trial of the Sekhemas using the Ardura's travel map or waypoint. You'll find a ruined temple where Balbala, now acting as an advisor, awaits. Place Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar to begin your run.
This section will provide a detailed walkthrough of the Trial of the Sekhemas, including strategies for success and maximizing rewards. (To be continued...)
