how many trials of sekhemas are there poe2

Short answer: There are seven challenge rooms (trials) plus a final boss room in the Trial of the Sekhemas — so seven trials, then the boss encounter.

Details and context

• Structure: The Trial of the Sekhemas runs as a one-life dungeon composed of seven rooms you must clear (these are the selectable “trial” rooms), followed by the final boss encounter (Zarokh).

• Honor mechanic: The Trial uses an Honor bar (a one-life resource separate from normal HP) that you must manage across the seven rooms; hitting zero Honor ends the run.

• Rewards and unlocks: Completing the trial (clearing all seven rooms and defeating the boss) is tied to ascension and specific item/relic rewards; some special rewards require additional conditions (for example, certain “no-hit” or Relic conditions).

Quick example (typical flow)

1. Enter Trial → choose or are presented a room challenge.

2. Clear rooms 1–7, buying boons or adding relics between rooms as needed.

3. Reach and defeat the final boss (Zarokh) to finish the Trial.
