The Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2 is a challenging endgame activity, similar to the Sanctum from the original game. It's a valuable source of loot, but early attempts can be difficult. While not crucial to the main storyline, it significantly aids early character progression and offers substantial rewards for successful completion. This guide details essential information for tackling the Trial of the Sekhemas.
How to Unlock the Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2
To begin, you must defeat Balbala the Traitor, a formidable boss located in Traitor's Passage within Act 2. Her swift, powerful attacks pose a significant early-game challenge. Upon defeating her, she drops Balbala's Barya – the key to unlocking the Trial.
After your victory, travel to the Trial of the Sekhemas location via the Ardura's travel map or waypoint. You'll arrive at a ruined temple where Balbala, now acting as a guide, awaits. Place Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar to initiate your Trial run.
