Trial of Sekhemas is too hard...or isn't it?

I've read lately how this trial is hard, how unfair and unfun...so after a warm, May day I just decided to do a chill amphora run. But I completed run like this twice already, so I decided to spice it up a little ;]

So tell me mates, how it is with this trial - too hard, or too easy?^^

the problem is too time consuming and not rewarding.

It takes like half an hour and many relics sell for divs. This stupid inflated league into the hundreds of divs. And half an hour isn't a build created to speed run it or any sort of clear speed optimized cookie cutter character.

too easy


Great rewards though at every stage of progression

Nice build :)

its not hard you just need a lot of patience for it and need to pay close attention. people with no patience try to rush it, thats why they fail.
i used to farm sekhehmas when i first started playing poe2 because it was new and exciting but now i dont have the patience for it anymore so i just get a carry for it on every new character.

Formally sekhemas is not hard if you accept basic poe rules (use build guides, breach tos with pricecheck software, never play skills GGG doesn't allow this patch, etc). But sekhemas is annoying as hell. All my friends ALWAYS bought their ascendancy points on TFT, despite being well capable of running trial themselves. I don't use TFT but also never ever ran this crap more than required to get 8 skill points.

Gating mandatory progression behind content that differs so much from normal gameplay is very poor decision.

Price check software is no a breach of ToS. If that would be true, 80% of the people around would get banned for using that tool which by the way is embedded in one of the biggest addon's platform...So it's not agains ToS GGG already decided that...


Sekkhemas is not hard for ascendancy points, it's just annoying. Traps are always annoying in any game, in PoE you run lab once and after that only if you want to. Also the lab is a joke compared to sekhemas's punitive mechanics at start.

So in conclusion Sekkhemas is just annoying. But we will have a third way of ascendanding soon so Sekkhemas will probably become a bad nightmare...Same with Ultimatum...Considering we are talking about GGG they will probably pick another punitve mechanic like heist were if you die you lose everything and your progress and be gone.

Nice! Crazy impressive to me to make the 1 honour run.

I want to give you some honest feedback though.

- You cut out all the rooms but then you let us watch the whole boring trading part? Why? :D
- Why did you even do all the stuff with the scorpion? you can just let them go in the last ascendancy room and they will get all points

And what kind of people are just spending 10 divs like that on an ascendancy. They must be RMT. How can someone just have them over while not being able to do ascendancy themselves. crazy to me :D

I don't want to deal with roguelike/hardcore mechanics in my softcore playthrough. It's so insanely bad that I _at most_ make one character per league. If I have to do the stupid trials more than once I would rather quit and come back in 3-6 months.
