Ascent to power and Trial of Chaos quests bugged in Cruel acts.

I am leveling a Monk in the Dawn of the Hunt league.
First I've noticed that when I reached Ascent to power quest in Act 2 Cruel, it's stuck at "Return to Ardura Caravan". Of course I returned, I speaked to Zarka and I have no options to do the quest. Frustrating, ok... I understood this is bugged and I tried to move on.
Now, I reached Act 3 (cruel) and I just beaten the Chimera, got an Inscribed Ultimatum and... "completing this ascension trial bla bla... will not grant additional ascendancy skill points". What!? So this is bugged too... very frustrating, how can I evolve, I'm stuck with only 4 ascension points :(

Please fix this! :)

Just ignore the Ascend To Power quest in Cruel (it has no meaning, cause you've already access to the Trail of the Sehkemas). It is also on the Known Issues list:

"

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

For the 3. and 4. ascendancy you need to run trials with high enough area levels (60+ or 75+): Ascendancy class

And then the Djinn Barya / Inscribed Ultimatum should show in the description that you get ascendancy points after running all the floors / trials.

Ok, thanks for your reply! :)

I'll try to continue the campaign and ignore the Ascendancy. See what happens...
Still it feels a bit frustrating :)
