PoE 2 - I hate trial of the sekhemeas so much

Is there a way to skip it? i thought there are multiple ways to ascend however it seems like the story forces me to do the Trial of the Sekhemas. Am I missing something?

"Players are having too much fun progressing their characters so we decided to put a stop to that" vibes from these trials.

The Trials of Sekhemas need to be removed from this immediately. The honour system is complete garbage. I have never hated a mini game that I can't skip so much in my whole life. Absolute dog water. Kid you not, this garbage will make me stop playing this game.

Agreed. IMO You should fail only when you die. I have avoided this league mechanic every single time I ran into it in POE1 because I found it extremely annoying and hate that it's the default thing for ascending now. This is not fun at all.

With a boss like that that spews projectiles everywhere? Good luck to any melee character that ever wants to ascend. Good luck to anyone who's just started playing ARPGs to ascend.

In PoE3 you'll fail only if you look in a wrong way ,)

100% make new players and old players want to look for a new game to play. This isn't a joke, this is immediate hate for this ascending path. Some of us suck and struggle with levels and other aspects of POE, so you put the hardest nonsense in the mandatory category and you think we are going to love it? What we loved was that we had a choice what we played and when we played it, if you take that away you're just Diablo. 7 tries to get to the boss, and it gave me 25% movement penalty for the boss. C'mon, you can't think this is fun
