0.1.1 Patch Notes: Added keyword for Honour Resistance. Honour Resistance is a stat used exclusively in Trial of the Sekhemas, and is calculated the same way.

The Trial of the Sekhemas is one of three Ascension Trials, first accessible in Act 2. It is a randomized gauntlet of rooms filled with monsters and traps that must be traversed before the player runs out of Honour. It is based on the Forbidden Sanctum from Path of Exile 1.

Honour Mechanics

  • Honour is an additional stat player characters have while participating in the Trial.
  • The default maximum Honour is based on the sum of the player's default maximum life and energy shield upon starting the trial. If a character possesses the Mind over Matter keystone, maximum mana will be added to this total as well. Honour is maintained between rooms, and the player is ejected from the Trial if it hits 0, resetting all floors and rooms. Being ejected does not count as a death, nor does it remove experience. If a player levels up within the Trial, causing the player to gain additional life, an equivalent amount of Honour and maximum Honour will also be increased.
  • Honour is lost from hits from monsters or traps in the Trial. Closer proximity to monsters reduces the Honour lost on hit, up to 35% less in close range.
  • Minions and non-party allies do not cause Honour to be lost if hit.
  • A varying percentage of Honour can be restored in Fountain rooms.
  • Gaining additional Maximum Honour will also cause the character to gain current Honour of the same amount. Losing Maximum Honour will not further affect the current Honour.
  • Honour Resistance reduces the amount of Honour lost by the listed percentage.

Sacred Water

  • Sacred Water can be traded to the merchant for a small amount of Honour recovery, various Boons, or relics.

Boon

Boons grant various benefits to your Trial run and can help recover or mitigate damage to your Honour, increase your Sacred Water and rewards, debuff monsters, or provide other helpful buffs.

Merchant

Merchant rooms contain the NPC Balbala, the Released who sells you Boons or relics or restores your Honour in exchange for Sacred Water. Boons cost have individual prices, while relics cost 300, 400, or 500 Sacred Water based on their size.

Party mechanics

  • All party members share Honour.
  • If a party member joins midway through the trial, their relics apply to calculate their maximum honour, and then the flat amount of honour damage lost by the instance owner is applied to them. This can lead to instant death for the joining party member if, for example, the instance owner has 6000/7000 honour, and the newly joining party member has 1000 max honour.
