This guide helps you conquer the Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2, a challenging but rewarding endgame activity. While not a main quest, completing it significantly boosts early character progression and provides valuable loot.
Unlocking the Trial:
First, defeat Balbala the Traitor, a formidable boss located in Act 2's Traitor's Passage. Her quick attacks make her a tough opponent early in the game. Victory rewards you with Balbala's Barya, the key to accessing the Trial.
After defeating Balbala, use your map to travel to the Trial of the Sekhemas location (or teleport via Waypoint). You'll find a ruined temple where Balbala, now acting as a guide, awaits. Place Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar to begin your Trial.
