I indeed HATE the Trials of Sekhemas as much as expected - Will make me quit SSF

I cant express how much I hated the experience I just had with the Gamemode...

First run failed cause I had a wrong Controller Setup apparently. The game let me do it. But with that setting I wasnt able to collect the Crystals while in combat.
No biggy but not a good start.

Second run failed cause my build yet sucks and I simply got overrun. 3 Mirror Room.
I thought only big telegraped attacks reduce honour? Did I missunderstand this in the Live Stream?

Since this Gamemode also is the only source of certain Items lategame, this alone will make me probably stop playing SSF.
Cause holy damn. Im not gonna play this gamemode for anything.

I will give it a few more chances with more powerful builds but man, first impression is as bad as I was fearing it would be.
Please let the Chaos Trials (Ultimatum Version) be better as Poe 1 Ultimatum or that was it with EA for me...
If the third Trial of the Ancestors Style on full release than thats PoE 2 for me. Heres praying this wont be the case.

And 3rd and last run ended by dying to the boss who covres more than half the arena in molten balls in a minute.

Sorry but no, this is absolutly the worst experience so far for me in PoE 2.

My brother in christ, you don't have to do sekhema to ascend...

so where is the ultimatum ascendancy spot then?

Prob act3

Quoting the poe2 site: "Ascension in Path of Exile 2 requires completion of great Trials, which you’ll find as you progress through the campaign. The Trial of Sekhemas is a[..]"
So yes, you need to do this garbage to Ascend, way I read it? I'm planning on doing it when I'm blatantly overleveled myself.

Lmfao okay buddy. Whatever you say. I bet you a 480 supporter pack you don’t need to do sekhema trial even once to ascend fully. Don’t worry, I won’t collect once you figure it out. Email support and ask them if you need to do sekhema trial to ascend or if you can just do chaos 4 times. I’ll wait.

You really need to relax, my fella. You know we're just talking right? Like normal people do? All I'm saying is the poe2 site seems to state otherwise - and that's all. It's not an attack.

I won't be bothering overworked support staff with a question like that, no. We'll both just wait :)

If you read it, that's not even what it says lmao. If you parse it correctly, you'll realize that yes, you do need to complete trials to ascend, and yes, one of those trials is the sekhema trial. That doesn't actually mean you need to complete specifically the sekhema trial to ascend, just that the sekhema trial is one of those trials. There is another trial. You need to complete a trial. It's a little confusing I get it, but I promise you don't need to complete sekhema trial to ascend. In fact, Jonathan and Mark confirmed this in the Ziggy Q&A after the endgame content reveal.
