• Unlocking the Trial of the Sekhemas: Defeating Balbala the Traitor in Act 2's Traitor's Passage.
• Accessing the Trial: Locating the ruined temple via the Ardura travel map or waypoint.
• Initiating the Trial: Placing Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar.

The Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2 is an endgame activity, similar to the Sanctum from the first game. It's a valuable source of loot, though challenging for less powerful characters. While not a main quest component, it significantly aids early progression and provides substantial loot rewards for successful completion.

Unlocking the Trial of the Sekhemas

To begin, defeat Balbala the Traitor, located in Act 2's Traitor's Passage. She's a formidable opponent early on, but defeating her yields Balbala's Barya – the key to accessing the Trial.

After the victory, travel to the Trial's location using the Ardura travel map or waypoint. You'll find a ruined temple where Balbala, now acting as a guide, awaits. Place Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar to commence your Trial of the Sekhemas run.
