In Path of Exile 2, you can choose which content you want to play after the campaign. One dungeon is particularly unpopular, but one person sees it quite differently.
What kind of dungeon is this? The “Trials of Sekhemas” are trials in the form of a dungeon that were newly introduced in Path of Exile 2. Your character must face various challenges here, during which they cannot take any damage.
During the dungeon, there is a sort of second life bar that indicates your honor. For every enemy that hits you, this bar permanently decreases and can only be restored through specific mechanics during the trials.
The second life bar is also active during the fight against the final boss, which frustrates the community quite often (via Reddit). Often, the fight ends with the character taking damage and, despite almost full health points, collapsing because their honor has dropped to 0.
However, one adventurer has found joy in the trials and has completed them 144 times. Now he is showing off his loot.
Here you can watch the cinematic intro of Path of Exile 2:
90 hours of farming for good loot
How did the runs go? The player Shanochi loves the “Trials of Sekhemas” and cannot get enough of them. In the past weeks, he has completed the dungeon 144 times and has noted every single item that fell at his feet.
In his 90 hours, he obtained over 1,250 regular jewels with a value of about 660 Exalt Orbs. But even with the currency items, his yield is impressive; after converting all found items into Exalt Orbs, he ended up with 1,330 Exalt Orbs alone.
The player was very precise in his evaluation, noting countless items; in the end, he converted all into Divine Orbs and reached 528 in 90 hours of gameplay + 10 hours spent trading. That would equate to about 142,560 Exalt Orbs at an exchange rate of 1 to 270, which was applicable at the time of his project. A screenshot of his table with all entries can be found on Reddit.
Was it worth it? That depends on your perspective. About 60% of the currency comes from 2 “The Last Flame” relics, which are each worth 150 Divine Orbs, or about 40,500 Exalt Orbs. If you’re unlucky and drop only one or none of the expensive relics, the statistics look much worse.
Otherwise, the result is indeed impressive, even though other users in the comments claim they farm much more efficiently or have better builds that make running the dungeon easier and faster.
In Path of Exile 2, there are also mechanics that can delete your loot. One of them is particularly annoying and makes players not want to kill enemies at all. However, it can be eliminated with a simple trick: A mechanic from Path of Exile 2 destroys your loot, but you can stop it
