Path of Exile 2: Trial of the Sekhemas Guide

This guide covers the Trial of the Sekhemas, a challenging but rewarding endgame activity in Path of Exile 2, inspired by the Sanctum from the original game. While not a main quest, it's crucial for early progression and offers valuable loot.

Unlocking the Trial of the Sekhemas

To access the Trial, 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. Upon defeating her, she drops Balbala's Barya – the key to unlocking the Trial.

After the victory, travel to the Trial of the Sekhemas location (accessible via the Ardura travel map or waypoint). You'll find a dilapidated temple where Balbala, now acting as a guide, awaits. Place Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar to begin your Trial.
