I quit. Take out Trial of the Sekhemas.

I don't mind doing the easy trial in Act 2, but after that just give me an Ascendency point every 10 levels. I don't want to do the Trial of the Sekhemas and I'm not going to. I got to the scorpion boss twice in a row with 5500 honor. Level 82 the second time. Failed both times. I'm out.

:)

Hey GGG, if you take out Trial of the Sekhemas I'll be back. If not I won't. That's all. Not sure why this loser arandan is stalking me, I'm just not into you pal, get it through that thick skull of yours buddy.

You can do it not only in trial of sekhemas - to get 3rd ascendancy you just need to pass 10 rooms long Trial of Chaos. Also the hardness of sekhema trial dwindles once you'll acquire honor resist and max honor relics.
It is not hard, just requires some knowledge and preparations.

You can do the chaos trial, no problem - you have a choice,


if you can't do it then you simply don't deserve the ascension points, simple as that

you can continue playing without 8 points, no one forbids it

How can you cry like that in a public forum... And how can you be so toxic with others because of you're skills? Haha..

It IS possible to be bullied into bricked trial runs even with maximum honour resist which feels terrible so I can sympathize with hating the 3-4 floor sekhema trials.

But frankly, this isn't really a game for people who bail out of anything after two attempts and it's not common to have your runs bricked.

How?
in my 2500+ hours it never ever happened to me.
Do you just click whatever, without looking if the path will bring you into a single route curse, leaving you with no choice?
Or just taking random curses every time?
Both?
How?

It's not likely, but it IS possible. It's happened to me three times.

How it works is that you are just unlucky with the pathing and afflictions - you become forced into getting some really bad afflictions early on which causes the rest of the run to snowball in the wrong direction. There isn't more to it than that.

Notable offenders that I find are potential run-brickers if you get them early are the affliction that gives you an additional affliction when you get an affliction, not always being taken to the room you select, being unable to see afflictions, and seeing one less room ahead.

I do runs for divines. I do alot of sekhemas. The rules to no brick and success are:
- Never, ever take that one. It WILL end your run.
- You never path to a point where you have no choice but to take it. (except you know what is there)
- You never take random curses.
- Early on you try to path to fountains and dont take curses that diminish your water --> you need it to buy the good stuff after every boss (or shop if on the way).
- After you got some good boons (like +50% damage and -30% hp) you just faceroll through everything. Now you can take water curses. You really dont care at this point
- Try to get wind room if spotted. Its 90% always worth it
- Vision is OP. +1 vision lets you plan so much. -1 vision is grief and you bricked probably yourself with alot of rng

Bonus: If possible get some less curse on armour or passive. Take the curse curses (lol), they dont do much anymore.
