This guide helps you conquer the Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2, a challenging endgame activity offering significant loot. While not part of the main storyline, completing it significantly boosts early-game progression.
Unlocking the Trial:
To access the Trial of the Sekhemas, you must first defeat Balbala the Traitor, a formidable boss encountered in Act 2's Traitor's Passage. Her swift and powerful attacks make her a tough opponent early in the game. Victory over Balbala rewards you with Balbala's Barya, the key to unlocking the Trial.
Once Balbala is defeated, travel to the Trial's location via the Ardura travel map or Waypoint. You'll find a ruined temple where Balbala awaits, not as a foe, but as a guide. Place Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar to begin your Trial.
