Surviving and passing the Test of Will Barya in Path of Exile 2’s Trial of the Sekhemas requires a careful balance of endurance, strategy, and resource management.

What is the Test of Will Barya?

It is a Sekhemas Coin that grants access to the "Test of Will," one of the three main challenging stages in the Trial of the Sekhemas.

During this test, your objective is to survive through multiple floors filled with combat trials, traps, puzzles, and boss fights.

The Test of Will notably increases enemy damage and movement speed, demanding tanky or high-damage builds that can withstand and swiftly eliminate threats.

Key Mechanics to Understand

Honor System: You have an Honor bar that depletes when you take damage. Unlike life or mana, Honor does not regenerate naturally with flasks but can be restored by special rooms, shrines, or rewards. If Honor reaches zero, the trial fails.

Room Selection: Choose paths that offer shrines or rewards that restore Honor or provide beneficial boons. Avoid paths with debilitating afflictions or heavy trap damage early on.

Boons and Afflictions: There are major and minor boons that grant powerful buffs, such as instant damage immunity after a hit, trap disablement, or increased sacred water drops. Conversely, afflictions impose harmful debuffs. Balance your selections strategically.

Boss Fights: Prepare for tough bosses, including twin bosses like Hanti of the Flaming River and Rafik of the Frozen Spring, who require managing simultaneous threats and special mechanics.

Tips for Success

Prioritize survivability mods on your gear and incorporate effective life/mana regen or leech.

Use movement speed increases and crowd control to manage groups efficiently and minimize Honor loss.

Take paths with regular Honor restoration points and avoid unnecessary damage.

Bring flasks that help cleanse debuffs or reduce damage taken, especially those with powerful utility mods.

Familiarize yourself with enemy attack patterns and boss mechanics through practice to anticipate and evade lethal abilities.

Rewards

Successfully completing the Test of Will progresses you further through the Trial of the Sekhemas and earns you Ascendancy passive points.

Completing the Trial unlocks increasingly difficult floors that grant valuable loot, gear crafting opportunities, and power boosts essential for endgame progression.

Passing the Test of Will Barya is about endurance, smart resource management, choosing the right path through the trial, and mastering combat encounters. With preparation and strategy, it can be a rewarding proving ground that significantly empowers your character’s journey in Path of Exile 2.
