Guide: Conquer Sekhemas Trial in Path of Exile 2

This guide covers the Trial of the Sekhemas, a challenging yet rewarding endgame activity in Path of Exile 2. Inspired by the Sanctum from the original game, it offers significant loot potential. While not a main quest objective, completing it significantly aids early character progression.

Unlocking the Trial:

To access the Trial, you must defeat Balbala the Traitor, a formidable boss found in Act 2's Traitor's Passage. Her swift, powerful attacks make her a tough opponent early on. Upon defeating her, she drops Balbala's Barya – the key to unlocking the Trial.

Once you've conquered Balbala, navigate to the Trial of the Sekhemas location via the Ardura travel map or 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.
