Unlocking the Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2
To access the Trial, defeat Balbala the Traitor, located in Traitor's Passage within Act 2. Balbala presents a formidable early-game challenge due to her powerful attacks. Upon defeating her, she drops Balbala's Barya, crucial for initiating the Trial.
After defeating Balbala, travel to the Trial of the Sekhemas location via the Ardura travel map or waypoint. You'll find a ruined temple where Balbala, now acting as an advisor, awaits. Place Balbala's Barya on the Relic Altar to begin your Trial run.
