How to Use Test of Time Barya to Dominate Trials of the Sekhemas
To dominate the Trials of the Sekhemas in Path of Exile 2 using the Test of Time Barya, you need to understand what this special Sekhemas Coin does and how to leverage its unique effects:
What is the Test of Time Barya?
-
It is a Sekhemas Coin that you can place on the Relic altar at the start of your Trial run in the Trial of the Sekhemas.
-
The Test of Time Barya specifically introduces time-limited rooms or challenges within the trial where you must complete objectives under strict time constraints. These temporal modifiers add an extra layer of pressure requiring fast clearing and efficient play to succeed.
How to Use Test of Time Barya Effectively to Dominate Trials:
-
Prepare a Fast-Clearing Build
Since the Test of Time Barya imposes strict time limits on rooms, prioritize builds with high mobility and strong area damage. Movement skills like Flame Dash or Blink Arrow are highly recommended to quickly navigate rooms and avoid time expiration. -
Master Room Mechanics and Patterns
Learning trial layouts, enemy spawn patterns, and puzzle solutions allows you to optimize paths and minimize wasted time. Anticipate time anomalies and traps introduced by the coin’s modifier to complete rooms faster. -
Maximize Honour Resistance and Survivability
Honour is your survival resource in Trials. Damage reduces Honour and losing it results in failure. Invest in Honour Resistance (capping at 75%) to reduce Honour damage by 75%, enabling you to survive longer under time pressure. -
Use Boons and Afflictions Strategically
Within the Trial, you can buy or select boons that restore Honour, reduce damage, or enhance movement speed. Prioritize boons like “Ahkeli’s Guard” (brief invulnerability after damage) or “Hare Foot” (increased movement speed) to mitigate harm and boost speed, making timed rooms more manageable. -
Optimize Shrine Interactions and Sacred Water Usage
Shrines restore Honour and offer buffs. Efficiently managing Shrine veneration and Sacred Water (which is dropped in rooms) helps you maintain high Honour for survival and speed throughout your run. -
Practice Time Management in Each Room
Keep track of how long each room takes and when to prioritize damage output versus movement. Sometimes it’s better to skip less important enemies or traps to meet the time limit. -
Repeat Runs and Study Failures
The Trial is challenging, especially with Test of Time modifiers. Analyze where you lose time or Honour, tweak your build or strategy, and rerun until you master the timing and survive the entire set of floors. -
Using the Test of Time Barya to dominate the Trials of the Sekhemas means embracing the time challenge it imposes. Success requires fast movement, efficient combat, solid Honour management, and strategic boon selection to overcome quick-paced, high-pressure rooms. Once mastered, you’ll gain maximum rewards and progress through Ascendancy unlocks with confidence.
