Restarting Trial of Sekhemas from the start is absurd.

Currently doing the second time to get from 4 to 6 points.

I don't mind difficulty. That's ok and part of a game. But the trial being made in 3 different trials should at least not force you to do all of them AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Why? The first are actually easy yet you can not rush a "find the exit", the whole thing is extremely time consuming and so you end up spending 30-40 minutes every time simply to access the challenging part.

It is extremely frustrating and gives the feeling that your character's progression is now dead-locked.

At this point I give up on the ascension and this alone makes not want to invest anything more into the game. Would it be time or money.

As a regular ToS runner deep into the endgame, I understand the design. ToS is big on boons and afflictions, also relics, also keys, all of which are mechanics that are designed to accumulate their effects over time. Relics do work off the bat but their effects can be felt best accumulated over time, such as merchant discounts for example. To make every run new, more unique, also more or less challenging (depending on luck, in part) you run through all of it every time and end up with different outcome to keep the 'excitement'. You have Trials of Chaos, which are shorter and quicker but I personally don't like them because every choice feels bad, you just pick what you feel least bad about, and there's a lot more dead space between rooms so it's more of a walking simulator - and neither of those is fun to me. There's also going to be another type of trial in the full release, perhaps we will get it in EA, curious what tedium it will be designed around, lol.

People do sell Baryas of time if you only want to do the last part.

I agree and I never run them simply because of the time investment. Takes way too long. Not worth it.
