Cannot get Ascendance points in Cruel difficulty

I currently have 4 total Ascendance points from Act 2 and Act 3 in Normal difficulty.

Now I am trying to get the points in Cruel difficulty but completing the quest ASCENT TO POWER in - Travel to Traitor's Passage does not complete the quest. Also, when I go directly to TRIAL OF THE SEKHEMAS and complete the trial, I don't get additional Ascendance points after completion.

One thing I noticed is when I travel to TRIAL OF THE SEKHEMAS in Cruel difficulty, then re-open the waypoint, it says I am in Act 2 Normal.

IS THIS A BUG? PLEASE HELP

Ascent to Power quest text in Cruel Act 2 is misleading.

You need Djinn Barya with 3 trials lvl 60+ (and complete all three floors of course).
