This guide details the Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2, a challenging endgame activity offering valuable loot. This isn't a main quest, but crucial for early progression and acquiring strong gear.
Quick Access
The Trial of the Sekhemas, similar to the Sanctum from the original game, presents a significant challenge, especially early in the game. Success unlocks valuable rewards.
Unlocking the Trial of the Sekhemas
To access the Trial, defeat Balbala the Traitor in Act 2's Traitor's Passage. Balbala is a formidable opponent with swift, powerful attacks. Victory yields Balbala's Barya, essential for starting the Trial.
After defeating Balbala, travel to the Trial's location via the Ardura's travel map or waypoint. You'll find a ruined temple where Balbala, now an advisor, awaits. Place Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar to begin.
