    Mastering the PoE 2 Trials of Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2 involves understanding its unique mechanics, preparing for its challenges, and carefully managing your Honour, a special life currency that is central to success.

    Accessing the Trial

    To enter the Trial of the Sekhemas, you first need to defeat Balbala the Traitor in the Prison of the Disgraced, located in Traitor’s Passage during Act 2. Following paper seals on the walls guides you to Balbala, whose fight includes teleportation, poison clouds, and explosive attacks. Defeat her and collect a special coin. Using the Desert Map, place this coin in the Relic Altar to activate the trial.

    Honour Mechanic

    The trial’s core challenge revolves around maintaining your Honour, a unique life resource that decreases with every enemy hit—both you dealing and taking damage consume Honour. Honour cannot be restored by healing or flasks, so once depleted, the trial ends immediately in failure. Protecting Honour requires dodging attacks, avoiding environmental hazards, and completing rooms swiftly and efficiently.

    Trial Structure

    The trial consists of seven rooms filled with escalating threats including enemies, traps, and puzzles. Each room presents different objectives and hazards such as:

    • Escape Trials: Disable Death Crystals while dodging enemies under a timer.

    • Gauntlet Trials: Fight waves of enemies and activate levers.

    • Ritual Trials: Defeat Ritual Casters to stop summoning portals.

    • Hourglass Trials: Survive waves of enemies until the timer runs out.

    Choosing your path through rooms wisely based on your current Honour level and resources is key. Some rooms are safer and faster, others riskier but potentially more rewarding.

    Final Boss – Rattlecage, the Earthbreaker

    At the trial’s conclusion, face Rattlecage, a powerful boss with melee and area attacks. Staying mobile and maintaining Honour during this fight is crucial. Use dodging and positioning to minimize Honour loss, and apply all your build’s defensive and offensive strengths to quickly end the battle.

    Tips for Success

    • Prioritize mobility and evasion to avoid Honour loss from enemy strikes.

    • Use Relics wisely—these grant buffs and can help offset difficult mechanics.

    • Manage your path strategically; prefer easier rooms when Honour is low.

    • Familiarize yourself with enemy attack patterns and environmental traps.

    • Practice patience and precision rather than rushing, as Honour management is relentless.

    Mastering the Trial of the Sekhemas requires a combination of careful planning, sharp combat skills, and strategic resource management. Success rewards powerful Ascension Classes and unique items that boost endgame potential.
