[[File:Trial of the Sekhemas loading screen.jpg|thumb|right| | The '''Trial of the Sekhemas''' is one of three [[Ascension Trial]]s, first accessible in [[Act 2]]. It is a randomized gauntlet of rooms filled with monsters, traps, and bosses that can damage and reduce a player's Honour, ending the run when empty. Players are affected by Boons and Afflictions affecting the run's difficulty and can interact with a variety of mechanics to recover their honour, improve, or change their odds. The trial is based on [[poewiki:The Forbidden Sanctum|the Forbidden Sanctum]] from [[Path of Exile 1]]. | ||

To gain access, the player must | To gain access, the player must visit the '''Trial of the Sekhemas''' waypoint in Act 2 of the campaign and insert a {{il|Djinn Barya}} into the Relic Altar. Each trial run is independent between characters on the same account. | ||
During the campaign, the player can acquire the {{il|Balbala's Barya}} quest item by defeating [[Balbala, the Traitor]] in [[Traitor's Passage]] of Act 2. The item works similarly to a regular {{il|Djinn Barya}}, but it is returned to the player if the challenge is failed. | |||
Every Trial of the Sekhema's run has a number of challenges spread across 4 floors with 8 rooms each for a total of 32 rooms. The item level of the {{il|Djinn Barya|Djinn Barya}} will dictate the number of floors available in the run and whether or not completing them will award the player additional ascendancy points. Higher level keys provide improved rewards and are tradeable. | |||

Mousing over the key will reveal both the area level and number of trials (floors) the run will yield. It will also indicate whether or not the run may grant additional ascendancy skill points upon completion. Consult the [[Ascension Trials]] page for more information. | |||
==Setup== | |||
Upon inserting the {{il|Djinn Barya}} in the Relic Altar, players will be able to place relics within, items that provide beneficial modifiers that affect your run. Once a trial has started, it must be completed, failed, or forfeited to add or remove relics. Relics can be also stored at the Relic Locker which is shared between all your characters in the same league. | |||

</gallery> | |||
The Relic Altar has 18 inventory spaces, 12 of which need to be unlocked by defeating floor bosses and opening key caches within the trial. The {{il|Djinn Barya}} will not be consumed until the relics are confirmed. Floor completion required to unlock squares is depicted below: | |||

Unlocking the Ritual Altar for the first time will reward the player with a magic rarity {{il|Urn Relic}}. These non-unique relics can have up to 2 modifiers and can be modified with a {{il|Orb of Augmentation}}. The pool of modifiers relics can roll depends on the total number of inventory slots it takes up, ranging from 2/3/4 or small/medium/large respectively. | |||

[[File:SekhemaTrialMap.png|An example of a Trial Map|thumb|right|600px]] | |||
All of your progress, including Honour, Sacred Water, Boons, Keys, and Afflictions are carried over between rooms and floors unless otherwise stated. If a player's client crashes during a trial, it will reset the room's progress as long as the player did not fail the room due to honour loss. However, any changes to the player's honour that happened in the room will be retained. | |||
Sacred Water and rewards are locked in upon successful completion of a room. It is possible to return back into a completed room from the reward room to kill any remaining enemies or open chests. Opening the door to the next floor in the reward room will prevent you from interacting with the merchant in that room any further. | |||
Upon successfully completing a room, a door will lead to a safe area to collect the room's rewards. Players must select the next room by interacting with the trial map which will show a preview of room connections of the current floor. While by default, players are able to see 1 room ahead of their current position in the map, this number can be increased or reduced by boons and afflictions. Each room that is visible shows their their '''objective''' (name), '''reward''' (icon), and whether or not an affliction is inflicted on the player upon entry. All room types other than boss rooms can become Afflicted. Afflicted rooms are indicated by a purple border and cause the character to gain an Affliction on entry. | |||
===Room Objective Types=== | |||
Each trial room contains one of the following objectives which must be completed to move forward: | |||

|- | |||
| '''[[Rattlecage, the Earthbreaker]]''' | |||
|| Collapsing Cavern | |||
|| Test of Strength | |||
|| Four-legged golem that uses fiery slam attacks. | |||
|| | |||
* Avoid staying near Rattlecage at the very start of the fight as he triggers a large area of effect explosion which Balbala will call out. | |||
|- | |||
| '''[[Hadi of the Flaming River]]''' and<br>'''[[Rafiq of the Frozen Spring]]''' | |||
|| Ceremonial Chamber | |||
|| Test of Will | |||
|| Two large melee sentinels that use fire and ice melee attacks. | |||
|| | |||
* Try damaging both bosses equally or killing the second quickly after the first one is down, otherwise the second boss will quickly heal to full hit points. | |||
* Once the fight ends, elemental explosions trigger at the edges of the arena that can damage your honour, so do your best to avoid them. | |||
|- | |||
| '''[[Ashar, the Sand Mother]]''' | |||
|| Sand Pit | |||
|| Test of Cunning | |||
|| A large scorpion that burrows and inflicts poison attacks. | |||
|| | |||
* Ignore Balbala's frequent call for you to get to one of the platforms as it will trigger one of several traps that may include spawning adds or shooting barrages of poison darts from the walls. | |||
* Avoid the swirling pits of quicksand as these will heavily slow you and make it more difficult to avoid the Ashar's attacks. | |||
|- | |||
| '''[[Zarokh, the Temporal]]''' | |||
|| Outside of Time | |||
|| Test of Time | |||
|| A floating chronomancer with several gimmicks related to [[action speed]] and time. Cannot pause the game against this boss. | |||
|| | |||
* Zarokh will enter a lightning phase where they teleport to the center of the arena and start firing crackling lightning tendrils while turning, always in a counter-clockwise direction, up to 3 times. During this phase, you may either avoid the time-stop bubbles littered throughout the arena and go around Zarokh to avoid the beams, or retreat to one of the corners and dodge roll when the lightning passes you. | |||
* Consider having a 30%+ movement speed modifier minimum before attempting the fight. Speed is crucial in his hourglass collection phase which will one-shot if the magic timer completes a full turn. | |||
* Most of Zarokh's direct abilities can be evaded and dodge-rolled. | |||

===Sacred Water=== | ===Sacred Water=== | ||
Sacred water is a type of non-tradeable currency used to trade with the Merchant to recover Honour, purchase Boons and [[relic]]s, to venerate Marakesh Shrines to recover Honour, or it converted into Keys at the Keth Forge in the cache reward room after a floor boss. Fountains can be either regular or large. Sacred Water also can be found from chests or slain rare enemies and bosses. It appears as light blue droplets of water and is collected automatically when the player is near it. | |||
===Honour=== | |||
Honour is a resource players have while participating in the Trial of the Sekhemas. | |||
* '''Honour pool:''' | |||
** A player's honour is based on the sum of the player's default maximum [[life]] and [[energy shield]] when starting the trial. If a character has the [[Mind over Matter]] [[keystone]] active, maximum [[mana]] will be added to this total as well. | |||
** Honour can be further increased or reduced by modifiers from [[relic]]s, Boons, and Afflictions. It can be recovered by trading with the Merchant or venerating certain Marakesh Shrines. | |||
* '''Honour loss:''' | |||
** Players lose honour by suffering hits from monsters or traps in the Trial. Minions and non-party allies do not cause Honour to be lost if hit. Closer proximity to monsters reduces the Honour lost on hit, up to 35% less in close range. | |||
** Damage to honour is mitigated by Honour Resistance, an important stat players should invest into through [[relic]] modifiers that can reduce honour loss up to a maximum of 75%. | |||
** Honour is maintained between rooms, and the player automatically fails the trial when Honour is reduced to 0. Failing a trial does not count as a death, nor does it affect a character's [[experience]]. | |||
* '''Other interactions:''' | |||
** If a player [[level]]s up within the Trial, causing the player to gain additional life, an equivalent amount of Honour and maximum Honour will also be increased.<ref>https://youtu.be/I68bBRA8aa8?si=Aupuun4wCnB8HhFa&t=598</ref> | |||
** Gaining maximum honour through boons will also cause the character to gain current Honour of the same amount. Losing Maximum Honour will not further affect the current Honour. | |||
=== | ===Boons=== | ||
Boons grant various benefits to your Trial run and can help recover or mitigate damage to your Honour, increase your Sacred Water and rewards, debuff monsters, and more: | |||

The Trial of the Sekhemas is one of three Ascension Trials, first accessible in Act 2. It is a randomized gauntlet of rooms filled with monsters, traps, and bosses that can damage and reduce a player's Honour, ending the run when empty. Players are affected by Boons and Afflictions affecting the run's difficulty and can interact with a variety of mechanics to recover their honour, improve, or change their odds. The trial is based on the Forbidden Sanctum from Path of Exile 1.
Access
To gain access, the player must visit the Trial of the Sekhemas waypoint in Act 2 of the campaign and insert a Djinn BaryaDjinn BaryaArea Level: #

I will serve."Take this item to the Relic Altar at the Trial of the Sekhemas. in the Relic Altar, players will be able to place relics within, items that provide beneficial modifiers that affect your run. Once a trial has started, it must be completed, failed, or forfeited to add or remove relics. Relics can be also stored at the Relic Locker which is shared between all your characters in the same league.

The Relic Altar has 18 inventory spaces, 12 of which need to be unlocked by defeating floor bosses and opening key caches within the trial. The Djinn BaryaDjinn BaryaArea Level: #

Unlocking the Ritual Altar for the first time will reward the player with a magic rarity Urn RelicUrn RelicPlace this item on the Relic Altar at the start of the Trial of the Sekhemas. These non-unique relics can have up to 2 modifiers and can be modified with a
Orb of AugmentationOrb of AugmentationStack Size: 30Augments a Magic item with a new random modifierRight click this item then left click a magic item to apply it. Magic items can have up to two random modifiers.. The pool of modifiers relics can roll depends on the total number of inventory slots it takes up, ranging from 2/3/4 or small/medium/large respectively.

All of your progress, including Honour, Sacred Water, Boons, Keys, and Afflictions are carried over between rooms and floors unless otherwise stated. If a player's client crashes during a trial, it will reset the room's progress as long as the player did not fail the room due to honour loss. However, any changes to the player's honour that happened in the room will be retained.
Sacred Water and rewards are locked in upon successful completion of a room. It is possible to return back into a completed room from the reward room to kill any remaining enemies or open chests. Opening the door to the next floor in the reward room will prevent you from interacting with the merchant in that room any further.
Upon successfully completing a room, a door will lead to a safe area to collect the room's rewards. Players must select the next room by interacting with the trial map which will show a preview of room connections of the current floor. While by default, players are able to see 1 room ahead of their current position in the map, this number can be increased or reduced by boons and afflictions. Each room that is visible shows their their objective (name), reward (icon), and whether or not an affliction is inflicted on the player upon entry. All room types other than boss rooms can become Afflicted. Afflicted rooms are indicated by a purple border and cause the character to gain an Affliction on entry.
Room Objective Types
Each trial room contains one of the following objectives which must be completed to move forward:
Trial | Objective | Description |
---|---|---|
Chalice | Defeat the rare monsters | Activate the chalice and defeat all rare monsters in the room. Clearing 50% of the rare monsters will cause an indicator to appear, pointing toward those remaining. |
Escape | Disable the crystals | Disable all the death crystals in the room before the timer expires. Activating crystals will lengthen the timer and indicate the direction of the next crystal. |
Ritual | Defeat the ritual casters | Defeat ritual casters to close the portals spawning reinforcements. |
Gauntlet | Find the exit | Navigate the trap circuit, activating coloured levers to unlock the path forward. |
Hourglass | Survive | Survive continuously spawning monsters until the timer expires. Killing rare monsters reduces the timer. |
Boss | Defeat the floor boss | Kill the floor guardian to advance. |
Room Reward Types
Each trial room contains one of the following rewards:
Reward | Description |
---|---|

Boons cost have individual prices, while relics cost 300, 400, or 500 Sacred Water based on their size.

Sacred Water Fountain | A fountain containing an amount of Sacred Water, a non-tradeable currency used within the trial. |

Mechanics
Sacred Water
Sacred water is a type of non-tradeable currency used to trade with the Merchant to recover Honour, purchase Boons and relics, to venerate Marakesh Shrines to recover Honour, or it converted into Keys at the Keth Forge in the cache reward room after a floor boss. Fountains can be either regular or large. Sacred Water also can be found from chests or slain rare enemies and bosses. It appears as light blue droplets of water and is collected automatically when the player is near it.
Honour
Honour is a resource players have while participating in the Trial of the Sekhemas.
- Honour pool:
- A player's honour is based on the sum of the player's default maximum life and energy shield when starting the trial. If a character has the Mind over Matter keystone active, maximum mana will be added to this total as well.
- Honour can be further increased or reduced by modifiers from relics, Boons, and Afflictions. It can be recovered by trading with the Merchant or venerating certain Marakesh Shrines.
- Honour loss:
- Players lose honour by suffering hits from monsters or traps in the Trial. Minions and non-party allies do not cause Honour to be lost if hit. Closer proximity to monsters reduces the Honour lost on hit, up to 35% less in close range.
- Damage to honour is mitigated by Honour Resistance, an important stat players should invest into through relic modifiers that can reduce honour loss up to a maximum of 75%.
- Honour is maintained between rooms, and the player automatically fails the trial when Honour is reduced to 0. Failing a trial does not count as a death, nor does it affect a character's experience.
- Other interactions:
- If a player levels up within the Trial, causing the player to gain additional life, an equivalent amount of Honour and maximum Honour will also be increased.[1]
- Gaining maximum honour through boons will also cause the character to gain current Honour of the same amount. Losing Maximum Honour will not further affect the current Honour.
Boons
Boons grant various benefits to your Trial run and can help recover or mitigate damage to your Honour, increase your Sacred Water and rewards, debuff monsters, and more:
Afflictions
Afflictions grant various downsides to your Trial run such as preventing or reducing Honour recovery, increasing the damage or speed of traps, buff monsters, reduce or disable your acquisition of Sacred Water, hide rooms or rewards on the Trial Map, and more:

Pledges
Players may sometimes be able to take on a Pledge to Kochai the Inscrutable at a Shrine, allowing the player to pick one of three random Pledges which provide significant upsides and downsides:
Traps
- Spike Trap: Several large spikes will shoot out of the ground periodically, indicated by rumbling and dust.
- Flamethrower Trap: A four-way flamethrower spins around in a circle. Some ruined walls may provide paths to avoid them. Inflicts a fire damage over time effect on health and honour.
- Poison gas pressure plate: A pressure plate that releases poison gas when the player steps on it. Deals high chaos damage if stood on.
- Poison gas pressure plate that activates a colored lock: Similar to the above, except these will be connected to a colored lock and release gas after a short delay.
- Poison dart pressure plate: A pressure plate that causes poison darts to be fired.
- Fixed fireball turret: Slow-moving fireballs are shot out of the wall in a sequential pattern, with a short reload.
- Rotating fireball turret: Slow-moving fireballs are shot out sequentially while the turret rotates, with a short reload.
- Fire mine: Indicated by an orange circle on the ground. When stepped on it activates after a very quick delay, dealing high fire damage.
- Quicksand: Standing on it builds the quicksand debuff, slowing the player's action and movement speed. Deals no damage.
- Time mine: Standing on it inflicts the temporal rift debuff, teleporting the player back to the mine's location, then exploding after a short delay. Sometimes next to other traps.
- Fixed portal turret: Fires slow moving projectiles through portal in a straight line. Inflicts shock.
Note: Most traps can be dodge-rolled through, with immunity for the entire animation.
Boss Reward Room
The boss reward room can be accessed after defeating any of the floor bosses. Other than containing a stash, the Ascension Shrine, and the Keth Shrine to convert leftover Sacred Water to keys, this room contains Balbala as a Merchant and a trove of caches.
The quality of caches spawned can vary between regular, superior, and prime, seemingly increasing the rarity of items within. Small and medium caches also refer to the quantity of items contained. Type of caches include:
- Gear Caches: Helmets, Body Armour, Gloves, Boots, Shields, Jewellery, Amulet, Rings, and Belts.
- Relic Caches: Small and Medium Relics
- Reward Type Caches:
- Archetype Caches:
- Warrior's: Melee weapons
- Mage's: Caster weapons and Foci
- Ranger's: Bows and Crossbows
- Jewel Caches:
- Royal: Sapphires, Emeralds, and Rubies
- Time-lost: Contains time-lost jewels
- Gold Spectrum Cache: Contains a random Grand Spectrum unique jewel
Party play interactions
Party play within the trials are governed by the following set of rules:
- The Trial of the Sekhema's choices are made by the area's instance owner.
- All party members share Honour.
- If a party member joins midway through the trial, their relics apply to calculate their maximum honour, and then the flat amount of honour damage lost by the instance owner is applied to them. This can lead to instant death for the joining party member if, for example, the instance owner has 6000/7000 honour, and the newly joining party member has 1000 max honour.
