Trial of the Sekhema BUG

Hello !
I`m affected by an annoying bug I suppose. I`ve ended up three acts without get into an area where is entrance for Sekhema Trial. I wanted to do it just after achieve cruelty difficulty. But unfortunately I can`t get access to it. On normal difficulty I`ve got quest "Ascend to Power - Return to Adrura Caravan and Speak to Zarka". The problem is - there is no dialogue option which would allow me to complete the quest. I have the same quest on cruelty difficulty, and also can`t speak to Zarka about it. On map (after clicking on waypoint or on desert map) there is no Sekhema location.

Please notice the problem and try to solve it. It`s a little annoying I can`t get my next 2 ascendancy point in the way I should be able to.

PoE 2 - Early Access Bug Reports

Did you kill Balbala and get Balbala Barya in Act 2?
Actually same issue. Looted Djinn Barya, received quest Ascent to Power, but Zarka doesn't have a dialog. So i can't moveforward with this. The issue happened during Down of the Hunt season

God, thank you for that ! I was sure that Balbala is one of the bosses who must be killed for later progressing - and that`s why I was sure I`ve killed her. It appeared not ! Thank you again and sorry for troubles.

Shame one me :P

In act 2 or act 5? Do you have the Trial of Sekhemas location on the map?
In act 5 there is the quest ascent the power, this cant complete.

I killed Balabla multibile times but i didnt get the green key. I have only dropt normals key. Yes i have the Waypoint location.

This is just a quest to get Ascendancy points, you don't need to talk to Zarka in Act 5. To get the 3rd Ascendancy, you need Djinn Barya (random drop) with 3 trials lvl 60+.

Ascent to Power quest text in Cruel Act 2 is misleading.
