5th and 6th Ascendancy Trial of Sekhemas Bugged and Unfun

I've gotten a few runs trying to get my 5th and 6th Ascendancy Point with level 65 Trials of Sekhema 3 trial coins but every time something either bugs out before or after I lose based on honor. Getting all the way to the end of a floor and getting 1 shot honor loss on a boss, after waiting to get the coin, getting relics to increase honor res etc feels really bad and honestly has turned me off from playing the game at all anymore. You can also just get unlucky and have terrible afflictions forced on you with no recourse and no ability to try again until another drop happens, potentially at a higher level too... Even feeling lucky and getting good paths I still haven't made it through. I don't die and can clear things ok, but its always an honor end.

To compound this, when it happens the game soft locks on the failed UI and the only way to get out is to kill the game. Sometimes it also keeps spamming the Trial Failed/Complete UI if you can Respawn and Checkpoint without the means to try again.

All of the above makes it feel like a complete waste of time and that it's just not ready yet, both in balance and functionality.

I can run the waystone end game maps fine. Have been enjoying my time with the game up until this point but if the only way to get these ascendancy points is to go through this again then I might just either never get them or just hang up the game completely until things get fixed and balanced more.

Thanks for making a cool game. Hope this gets sorted.

Sounds like you could use some defensive improvements. If you go over to the PoE discord you can find some help on where to go with that. Once you get more Life/ES and maybe some Evasion/Armour or Block and cap your res it should be pretty easy to get through the Trial of the Sekhemas. Tho if you still don't want to run that, there's still the Trial of Chaos that you can get all 4 ascendancies from.

If you die fast on 3rd boss you chaos resist is probably low.

Watch youtube for boss guides. 3rd boss is not too hard to do with minimal damage taken. Generally: don't stand in front of her.
