Trial of sekhemas POE 2

Ok this trial is bs yaya get good huh when r&g kills you over and over again it's not even fun.

I have ran my trials so many times I am level 87 doing a level 77 trial the trial needs to have a checkpoint system for people to progress.

For example trial 1 checkpoint next time you do the trial you have an option to do the entire thing or use your check point and start from trial 2 or 3 or 4.

I hate the fact i fight through the entire thing just to get body blocked in to a corner and my honor wiped out. It makes me not want to play .

My friends are having similar or worse times with this then me they are stuck on trial 2 and cant get it I told them to over level it witch i did with the second now the third idk what to do how many levels do i need.

This is why people are paying people to get through it haha economy dont get me started with the trade site that doesn't work for reposting or lowing prices half the time.

Also ya the time it takes about 40 mins to an hour of my time ever time I try it I am getting really frustrated with the progression of this it seems like i have hit a wall with progression and games are supposed to be fun Figure it out .

This isn't a solution for the problem of the trials but an attempt to help ...


1. I'd farm up lower level trials and get as many good relics as you can. I personally think the best mods for "ascension trials" are likely things like Honour Resistance, +% Max Honour, and +% Honour recovery.

-- You want relics to mitigate Honour damage, boost Max Honour, and allow you to recover from any mistakes that caused you to loose honour. This can be a dramatic multiplier to how many mistakes you can make & recover from.


2. Try to get the fastest move speed boots you can without hamstringing your character. If you're a warrior OR if your damage is tied to your gear then get the best weapon [gear] you can. One-shotting a dangerous monster OR running away are your best friends -- just understand when to do each.


3. As you're doing (1) above you may find that the low level Sekhemas trials (1 floor) are too easy with your relics. Start farming 2 floor trials ... then 3 floor trials. The further you go in trials the more relic slots you will unlock meaning your character will get SIGNIFICANTLY more survivability.


4. As you're doing the above you'll better understand the kind of rooms that are on the floor. I would do your best to plan your path through the sanctum to minimize the dangerous rooms, minimize getting either random or bad afflictions, etc.

Early on avoid most afflictions if possible. The run killers are those afflictions that either brick your build [like "no Energy Shield"] OR those that prevent you from planning your path through the floors -- most of those are the various "smoke" afflictions.


5. Most importantly remember, unlike the rest of the game, when you are trying to ascend your goal isn't to "kill monsters" but to survive with as much Honour intact as possible. If you have two valid choices -- stop to kill some monsters or run away and get to the exit then you should EXIT. For example in rooms that spawn monsters and I have to survive for a set period of time I often will just run around as most monsters won't hit a fully evasive target. Sure I will often take an opportunity to AoE some monsters out but only when it's reasonably safe to do so.


6. I'm not an expert on the 4 floor Sehemas but if your damage isn't awesome, thus bosses get to do mechanics, make sure you have things in your build that mitigate against "slows" or loss of action speed and the final boss has a surprise for builds not ready for that mechanic.

I have all the things you have mentioned Worked my but off for them . This is not the problem i have 75% honor res and 20 % max i understand how to do the trial its the r&g And no check point system. I have watched a few videos ext read guilds the outlined everything you have posted .


This is feedback for the development Team to implement as soon as possible or some kind of Fix .


Have you seen the amount of ranting on here about it .

Sekhemas becomes extremely easy at higher levels, especially once you understand how to run them. It's also a pretty decent farm.

I was one of the first people to rage and complain about it, even in this same forum (before it was nerfed).

Trust me, you will get through it no problem.

Try to get +2 vendor items, 75% honour res and maybe some extra boss damage or maximum honour and it'll be a joke.

Also avoid anything that says "random" or removes one of your primary defenses.

You're right, having to do floors 1 2 and 3 at once kinda sucks.


I think trial of chaos is a better way of getting points, has its own problems, but sanctum / Sehkemas just take too damn long to run.

I think you're meant to run them around level 90.
