I accidentally dropped Djinn Barya in act 2 and can’t complete the quest to get the acsendancy

Hi GGG team,

I’ve encountered a progression-blocking issue in Path of Exile 2 – Dawn of the Hunt.

After defeating Balbala (I tried in both Act 2 and Act 5), I believe I either forgot to pick up the Djinn Barya quest item or may have accidentally discarded it. As a result, the Trial of Sekhemas portal no longer appears on the Caravan map, and I’m unable to access the trial.

I've tried killing Balbala multiple times again, but she no longer drops the item. I’ve also completed the campaign and moved into the endgame, but I’m stuck with only 2 Ascendancy points, which is a major issue for character progression. Some users on the forum suggested that I now need to beat the Trial Master in the Trial of Chaos to receive the remaining Ascendancy points — which is very punishing given this was not an intentional skip.

Here are my details:

I would really appreciate it if you could restore the Djinn Barya quest item or otherwise allow me access to the Trial of Sekhemas.

HELP ME PLEASE
