Finally done my 4th ascendancy with Trial of Sekhema
 Took me 2 tries, with some weapon upgrades and some gear grinds. Did it with Invoker at lvl 86 and at SSF. It certainly not impossible to do, HOWEVER, the efforts are really at maximum. Perfect no hit run at throughout first to third floor, saving honour for 4th floor because there are alot of BS happening there. I don't know if the last 2 nodes worth that much for this kind of efforts, but I hope it does. One thing for sure, they need to tune down Trial of Sekhema if we need to do this for our 4th ascendancy in each league. GL fellow exiles in trying the Trial of Sekhema, you can do it easier if you have powerful Major Boon like monster less hp / you deal more damage / hare foot. I didn't get any of those major boons and I forgot to include the boon list the picture, so its up to you to believe (My major boon was only honour restored on room completion).

Do you maybe have a tip for me regarding relics? Are there certain affixes that are more useful than others? Maybe honor resistance?
I was always exceptionally bad at Sanctum. When it was the current league I think I uses relics to focus on inspiration and it was somewhat easier to replenish i think. But I have not seen inspiration in PoE 2 so far. |

" In general, max honour / honour ressist / max HP. If you happen to be hybrid like me (Eva / ES / HP) or pure ES, then look for "increased defences". Energy shield counts as defence so you will get more ES pool and more Honour overall. Try to get at least 6k honour, it will be very forgiving for 1-3 floor, and become crucial to maintain at 4th floor. |

did you actually get to ascend? Last time i did it a few days ago the portal wouldn't open, same for ultimatum, 10 trials and the altar is there but no way to interact with it.

I want to rant a little. I'm 75 invoker.
First 3 floors was going so great. I got 50% more damage, 30% less monster life, and so on with minimal afflictions. Nearing 3rd floor boss, I was forced to take "when you gain an affliction you gain a minor affliction", then in another room I took a merchant affliction and bam, I lost my entire evasion (65%) as minor affliction and also my physical damage reduction (60%) because of 0 evasion. And another room "each time you got hit, 5% of your life and ES also removed". in like 4-5 rooms, my run got entirely bricked, a white monster was hitting 500 honour. Well I just went a few more rooms and got one shotted by two snail machineguns like 2-3 rooms away from the 4th boss. 1 hour went to trash. Thanks for the amazing experience of git gud by RNG. How is you have "no ES" "no armour" "no evasion" etc. are minor afflictions, "restore 30 honour each room" is a major boon and "50% more damage by you and your minions" is a minor boon. What kind of balancing hell is this? Last edited by accussed22#5269 on Dec 18, 2024, 5:56:37 AM

" Thats the "vision", wasting players time and nerves by implementing the worst of the worst mechanics from POE1 and turning them up to eleven. Made it to fourth floor and got instakilled by a yellow mob (had a close to perfect run with afflictions and boons) After that I tried an ultimatum and got wrecked in the frist room becaue the three choices were bascially suicide Either they will patch this crap or I have to live with six points I dont think I have the mental stren |
