The Test of Will Barya is a challenging modifier applied to the Trial of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2, ramping up the difficulty by increasing enemy damage and speed, while also enhancing rewards. Successfully completing this trial requires strategic planning, strong character builds, and mastery of the Trial’s unique mechanics.
Entry and Basics
The Trial of the Sekhemas is unlocked by defeating Balbala the Traitor in Act 2’s Traitor’s Passage.
Players use the Barya coins, such as the Test of Will Barya, to enter the Trial at the Relic Altar.
The trial functions like a roguelike dungeon with multiple floors, each comprising several rooms featuring combat, traps, and modifiers.
Honour is your unique health bar in the trial; it depletes when damaged and cannot be restored by flasks. Instead, Honour regenerates through shrines, rewards, and boons.
Key Tips for Success
Build and Gear: Use tanky builds with high life, resistances, and mitigation, combined with strong damage output to clear waves quickly.
Movement and Positioning: Utilize POE 2’s dodge roll and WASD movement to evade high-speed enemies and incoming attacks.
Room Selection: Choose rooms that offer beneficial Boons (buffs) and avoid or mitigate harmful Afflictions (debuffs).
Boons and Afflictions: Major Boons can dramatically improve survivability or damage; pick these carefully. Minor Boons add useful but smaller bonuses.
Honour Management: Prioritize paths and shrines that restore Honour frequently to avoid sudden failure.
Trial Modifiers: The Test of Will increases enemy attack speed and damage, so awareness and quick reflexes are vital.
Walkthrough Highlights
Start by clearing easier combat rooms to build resources and Honour.
Use shrines to restore Honour and gain temporary buffs.
Avoid heavily afflicting traps early on that can drain Honour quickly.
Push through to boss floors with a balance of offence and defence.
The final boss, Zarohk, the Temporal, requires learning attack patterns and exploiting openings with mobility and burst damage.
Advanced Tips
Prepare a strong flask setup emphasizing instant heals and buffs.
Use Runes socketed via Artificer’s Orbs to tailor bonuses enhancing survivability or damage.
Practice the dodge roll and anticipate boss telegraphs.
Learn enemy telegraphs and environmental hazards in trial rooms across attempts.
Don’t hesitate to retreat and retry with better preparations using additional Barya coins.
