9-Next up, we have Expedition. Occasionally, while clearing corruption, you will encounter these Kalguuran settlers.
8+The trials we talked about earlier have much more content when you get to the endgame too.
109
11-The Kalguurans have discovered ancient burial sites with lost Verisium artifacts, and they want you to help them dig them up.
12-With explosives! The Kalguurans have marked locations where the relics can be found.
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.
1313
14-Place explosives as best you can to dig up as many as possible. There's just one problem.
14+Each floor has its own challenging rooms
15+and a floor boss that you will need to kill.
1516
16-Corruption has brought the corpses of their ancestors to life. So you might have to do a little bit of cleanup before you can reclaim the artifacts.
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.
1718
18-You can also find remnants, the destruction of which will further anger the restless dead. Each one you blow up will make subsequent monsters more powerful,
19-but also more rewarding. Dannig, Rog, Tujen, and Gwennen,
20-will exchange the artifacts for useful items and runic magic.
19+##### Jewels
2120
22-You can also find tablets to increase the number of Expeditions and the rewards.
23-This one increases the radius of the explosives, while this one increases the number of remnants you will find.
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.
2422
25-##### Expedition Logbook
23+They can be really powerful as they allow you to stack modifiers that may not easily be accessible on the tree normally.
2624
27-Eventually, you might discover a Logbook. These are special maps full of buried treasure and relics.
28-Essentially one giant dig site.
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.
2927
30-Here you can create an extremely long chain of explosives and go through a very high number of remnants,
31-but be very careful. Many remnants have mods that can really brick your build, so you'll probably want to avoid those ones.
28+There are also other types of jewels that don't provide any bonuses themselves,
29+but affect other passives surrounding them.
3230
33-If you add too many remnants, you could easily make the encounter harder than you can handle. There are all sorts of interesting things buried under the ground in Logbooks.
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.
3433
35-You might find dripping caves or hidden pirate caches, but the most powerful encounter is Olroth,
36-the ancient undead commander of the Knights of the Sun.
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.
3737
38-Defeating him will grant you unique rewards, as well as points
39-to spend in the Expedition section of the Atlas Tree. So those are the endgame systems on the Atlas, but we're not done yet.
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.
