This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough of the Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2, a challenging yet rewarding endgame activity. This challenging activity is unlocked after defeating Balbala, the Traitor, in Act 2.
Unlocking the Trial of the Sekhemas:
Defeating Balbala, located in Traitor's Passage during Act 2, is crucial. She's a formidable opponent, especially early in the game, due to her aggressive attacks. Upon defeating her, she drops Balbala's Barya. This item is essential to initiate the Trial of the Sekhemas.
Once you've acquired Balbala's Barya, travel to the Trial of the Sekhemas location. This can be accessed via the Ardura travel map or by teleporting using a 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. This challenging activity offers significant loot and is a key part of character progression, though it can be difficult for under-leveled players.
