Trial of the Sekhemas

A Barya opens one floor of the Trial. Honour carries the whole run and cannot be recovered by ordinary means, so what shapes an attempt is the deck you build from it: Boons help, Afflictions bite, and a Pledge trades one for the other.

Honour

Honour is an additional resource you have to manage within the Trial of the Sekhemas. A percentage of the damage you take from enemies in the Trial will be taken from your Honour. If your Honour reaches zero then the Trial is failed.

Your starting and maximum Honour are the sum of your maximum Life, Energy Shield and Runic Ward. Your maximum Mana is also added if you have Mind Over Matter.

Honour Resistance

You lose this much less Honour.

Maximum Honour Resistance is capped at 75% by default and cannot be higher than 90%.

Boons

Boons are positive effects that are applied to the Trial of the Sekhemas; making them easier to run.

Boons can be gained from certain Maraketh Shrines or from buying them from the Trial Merchant using Sacred Water.

Boons can be either Minor or Major, providing varying benefits to your Trial.

Afflictions

Afflictions are negative effects that are applied to the Trial of the Sekhemas; making them harder to run.

Afflictions will be applied for entering certain rooms in the Trial or from encountering certain Maraketh Shrines.

Afflictions can be either Minor or Major, providing varying negative effects to your Trial.

Relics

Relics are items that are placed in the Relic Altar before the start of the Trial of the Sekhemas.

Relics influence various aspects of the Trial to make it easier. Your Relics persist between Trials.

Selected Relics cannot be changed while you have an active Trial.

Relics have varying dimensions, so arrange them carefully to maximise your benefits.

You can unlock more Relic slots by killing bosses deeper into the Trials.

Spare Relics can be stored in the Relic Locker or any of your personal stash tabs.

Trial of the Sekhema Keys

Bronze, Silver or Gold Keys are sometimes awarded for completing rooms or for killing monsters within the Trial of the Sekhemas. After completing each floor of the Trial there will be an assortment of Bronze, Silver and Gold caches which can be opened by their respective key, revealing treasures within.
