This guide helps you conquer the Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2, a challenging yet rewarding endgame activity. While not a main quest, it significantly aids early progression and offers substantial loot. This guide covers unlocking and completing the Trial.

Unlocking the Trial of the Sekhemas

To begin, you must defeat Balbala the Traitor, a formidable boss found within Act 2's Traitor's Passage. Her swift and powerful attacks pose a significant early-game challenge. Victory rewards you with Balbala's Barya, the key to accessing the Trial.
After defeating Balbala, use the Ardura travel map (or Waypoint) to reach the Trial of the Sekhemas, a dilapidated temple. Balbala, now an advisor, awaits. Place Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar to commence your Trial.
