This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough of the Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2, a challenging endgame activity offering valuable loot. While not a main quest, it significantly aids early character progression.
The Trial of the Sekhemas, reminiscent of the Sanctum from the original Path of Exile, presents a rewarding yet demanding challenge. Its difficulty can be significant for under-leveled characters.
To initiate the Trial of the Sekhemas, you must first defeat Balbala the Traitor, located within Traitor's Passage in Act 2. Balbala's aggressive attacks can pose a considerable threat to less powerful characters. Upon defeating her, she drops Balbala's Barya, a crucial item for accessing the Trial.
After vanquishing Balbala, navigate to the Trial of the Sekhemas location using the Ardura's travel map or a Waypoint. You'll find a dilapidated temple where Balbala, now acting as a guide, awaits. Place Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar to begin your Trial run.
