5-Had enough yet? Because there's still just one more thing. The most difficult content in Path of Exile 2.
8+The trials we talked about earlier have much more content when you get to the endgame too.
69
7-While mapping, you may come across this fortress with a pillar of flame and ash rising from the center, there has emerged from underground,
8-surrounded by an enormous maze riddled with danger.
10+Just like the other endgame systems, they also have progression mechanics,
11+unique rewards and player power that can only be gained from them. As you get higher level coins for the Trial of the Sekhemas,
12+you'll unlock more floors to explore.
913
10-Is the maze preventing something getting in or something getting out?
14+Each floor has its own challenging rooms
15+and a floor boss that you will need to kill.
1116
12-This fortress is of ancient origin, and its construction has similarities to the towers and tablets that you've been using on your journey
13-through the end game. It is clear from the entrance that there are three keys required to enter.
17+There are four floors in total, leading to another pinnacle boss at the end of the last floor, which can only be accessed at endgame.
1418
15-Local factions of vying for access to the fortress in order to seize the power they believe will be inside.
19+##### Jewels
1620
17-Each of the factions leaders have managed to get their hands on one of the keys, so you'll need to defeat them.
21+The Trial of the Sekhemas is where you will find jewels which you can socket into your tree. These are like passives that you can craft with your currency items.
1822
19-Each faction is led by an Uber Act Boss. You can see one of them inhabiting this city, but in order to fight him, you'll first need to defeat their two
20-lieutenants in the adjacent zones.
23+They can be really powerful as they allow you to stack modifiers that may not easily be accessible on the tree normally.
2124
22-Be careful, if you fail against either of the lieutenants
23-or to kill their leader, they will move on and you'll need to find them again. Kill all the Uber bosses and you will gain access to the fortress.
25+This jewel gives lightning damage and shock chance, for example. There are quite a few jewel sockets on the tree,
26+so it's possible to gain a lot of power here.
2427
25-We aren't going to spoil it as we can't wait to see you guys attempt it for the first time. But is there a tree you get points in after killing it?
28+There are also other types of jewels that don't provide any bonuses themselves,
29+but affect other passives surrounding them.
2630
27-Of course there is. This is Path of Exile. There's always another tree. So these are your challenges for PoE2
31+This jewel increases the effect of small nodes in radius by 25%.
32+With careful placement in the tree, you could get a significant amount of power from it.
33+
34+There are also unique jewels available with very interesting effects,
35+but you'll have to find those for yourself. In order to push further into the trial and uncover the secrets of the Maraketh,
36+you will want to take advantage of its progression system.
37+
38+##### Relics
39+
40+Relics are items that can be placed on the relic altar as you start the trial.
41+
42+They give special bonuses that affects the trial, making it easier and increasing its rewards.
43+
44+Of course, you can craft these with your currency items too, making them even stronger.
45+
46+If you can complete the entire trial overcoming all four floors, the final boss will reward you with one of many unique relics.
47+
48+These relics will be consumed when used on the next run, but can reward you with unique and powerful items.
49+For example, this is The Last Flame. If you use it, you will only have one honor for the entire trial,
50+so you will need to do a completely hitless run.
