This guide provides a walkthrough for unlocking and completing the Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2. This challenging endgame activity offers significant loot rewards. While not a main quest, it's crucial for early character progression.

Quick Access

• Unlocking the Trial of the Sekhemas
• Completing the Trial of the Sekhemas

The Trial of the Sekhemas, similar to the Sanctum from the original game, presents a rewarding yet demanding endgame challenge. Its difficulty can be significant for under-leveled characters.

Unlocking the Trial of the Sekhemas

To initiate the Trial, you must first defeat Balbala the Traitor, a formidable boss encountered in Act 2's Traitor's Passage. Balbala's swift and powerful attacks make this a difficult fight for less experienced players. Upon defeating her, she drops Balbala's Barya, a key item needed to begin the Trial.

After this victory, navigate to the Trial of the Sekhemas location using the Ardura travel map or waypoint. You'll find a ruined temple where Balbala, now acting as a guide, awaits. Place Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar to commence your Trial run.
