The Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2 is a challenging endgame activity, similar to the Sanctum from the first game. It offers valuable loot but requires sufficient character strength, especially in the early stages. While not a main quest component, it significantly contributes to early character progression and loot acquisition.
How to Unlock the Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2
Unlocking the Trial requires defeating Balbala the Traitor, a formidable boss located in Traitor's Passage within Act 2. Balbala's aggressive attacks can pose a significant threat to under-leveled characters. Upon defeating her, she drops Balbala's Barya, a crucial item for initiating the Trial.
After defeating Balbala, navigate to the Trial of the Sekhemas location via the Ardura's travel map or waypoint. You'll find a ruined temple where Balbala, now acting as an advisor, awaits. Place Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar to begin your Trial run.
