The Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2 is an endgame activity, similar to the Sanctum from the original game. It's a valuable source of loot, though challenging early on. While not a main quest component, it significantly aids early character progression. This guide details its essentials.
How to Unlock the Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2
To access this activity, defeat Balbala the Traitor, found in Act 2's Traitor's Passage. She's a formidable opponent early on, but defeating her yields Balbala's Barya , crucial for initiating the Trial.
After the victory, travel to the Trial of the Sekhemas location (accessible via the Ardura's travel map or waypoint). Balbala, now an advisor, awaits. Place Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar to begin.
