PoE2 - Trail of Sekemas: 3rd Acendancy Trial

I've attempted this about 4 or 5 times now, and I always end up with ridiculous debufs from the stupid choices on the trial map.
Like the slow you down 20+%, which is ridiculous because now you cannot navigate away from the Scorpion boss at the end, just get squashed and wasted another 30min session.
Am I missing something here?

I've tried taking different routes through the trial map, but it's like it always forces me into some stupid debuf... lose half your max honor or take double honor damage from hits.. lose 25% speed or go blind for the entire map.. and if you chose the blind map, you'll end up will the speed debuf anyway.

Kinda seems like lazy ass trials. I mean, I kina like the concept of the various rooms to work through, be to be constantly f'kd is a big turn off.

Hell, one of the instances had one of the mini-bosses stuck in a rubber-banding mode and would snap across the screen to me, hit me, but I couldn't attack it nor could my minions. It just kept sinking into the ground, then lag-spiking all over the screen. I couldn't even finish that trial because I couldn't kill it so had to just stand there and f'kn die.
I know that's a 'glitch' in this early access, but it sure does add insult to injury after all the attempts of getting f'kd by debufs.

Let me guess.. you aren't supposed to attempt the 3rd or 4th trials until you are stupidly overpowered and can 2-shot the boss right? That's kinda silly.
