POE2 - Unable to Complete "Ascent to Power" in Cruel Difficulty

did now 3 runs back to back, cleared all flawless, nothing, just loot.

the thing is, be it sekhemas or chaos, i enter in cruel, but somehow the trial map itself seems to be in "normal" mode, and thats why i dont get the ascension, cuz all of a sudden the items tell me i have already gotten the points
Same Issue here.

Same here.
i don't get a trial item for cruel mode. only ones, that don't give points (it even says it on the item, since last patch)

You are not intended to get a Quest Item from the NPC in Cruel 2. Technically, the bug is that the Quest exists, if you already did the one in Normal 2. This probably has to do with the copy/paste of Acts 2 and 3 into Cruel versions so that GGG could give us an endgame.

To get the third set (points 5 and 6) you require a Token that is above level 60, says it has 3 Floors, and those drop RANDOMLY throughout the game - but you need a level 60+ zone for that.

That means you are hoping to get Token Drops from the last half of Act 3 Cruel, from Jiquani's Machinarium and the remainder of the Act. I dropped 5, 3 Floor, level 60+ Tokens in Act 3 Cruel, all of which have the new Tag that says "you may get points from this" because I haven't done it yet (when looked at from the Hideout).

lol, i just wasted 1-2 hours trying to complete the quest. thanks for the info, gonna push to 60+ then :)
Thank God for this tread. I have killed Balbala multiple times trying to unstuck this quest and would have wasted much more time on it.
