Cruel Trial of Sekhemas (Act 2) - Ascent to Power - Traitors Passage

Yes, same problem here

So i found the solution, after asking around. After last update, tooltip on my trial items with 2 floors says, that you will get only the option to "choose" your ascendancy and not the points. You need Barja coin with 3+ trials (floors) in tooltip - to get the 3rd ascension (5th and 6th points) and those drop usually much later in atlas maps.
The same goes for the chaos ultimatum items, you need 5+ floors ultimatum items to get 3rd ascension points.
And you can just google "poe 2 3rd Ascension" and there are YouTube videos to prove that.

I can confirm the Barja coin with 3-trials, gives no ascendancy points after completion. Hope they patch it soon, as it is pretty annoying :/

strange, i think level of monsters must be over some threshold, going to test it more

Same issue, after recent patch the tooltip on the coin says - that I will get the ascendancy. But I can't port to the cruel version of the trial, even the desert map on the caravan gives me no such option. And when I travel to the old 22 lvl trial location, the tooltip switches to "you won't earn ascendancy points with this trial".

got the same problem over here. please fix.

Same here

So here is the correct info:

Third Ascension (6 Points):
Obtained From: Random Monster Drop
Djinn Barya: Area Level 60+ Trials: 3
Inscribed Ultimatum: Area Level 75+ Number of Trials: 10

Fourth Ascension (8 Points):
Obtained From: Random Monster Drop
Djinn Barya: Area Level 75+ Trials: 4, Defeat final boss
Inscribed Ultimatum: Defeat the Trialmaster (final boss)

Thanks for the info on this one. Based on it, it is possible to make an assumption that quest might actually progress when visiting Traitors Passage and killing Djinn on level 60+ character. I just did it twice on level 55 and same problem as everyone else in this thread - will check it again once I hit 60.


And when thinking about it - this actually makes sense in the context that we do not have the full campaign on EA. So we have only 3 Acts and then we jump into redoing those 3 Acts on Cruel. As we will have 6 Acts on release - I assume we will be exactly 60+ on release once we complete 6 Acts on Normal difficulty and will move into another 6 Acts of Cruel difficulty, which will get us to around level 80-90 or maybe even 95-100 once we complete it and transition to endgame on full release version.


Upd:

Upon reaching 60 and traveling to fresh Traitors Passage, and killing Djinn - being level 60 did not change anything and the Djinn did not drop any trial token. So it seems the only way to progress is to rely on random monster drop past character level 60.

Quest did not progress either with level 60 character, so it is indeed bugged.

Yeah, can't progress as well so I'm stuck without getting my next points. Rather annoying bug. hope they fix it soon.

Same issue. Hoping the devs notice,
