Path of Exile 2: A Complete Guide to Obtaining and Using Sekhema's Resolve Ring
Path of Exile 2 is filled with rare and powerful items, and the Sekhema's Resolve Ring is one of the most coveted among them. This unique ring is not easily obtained. It can only be acquired by defeating one of the game's most formidable pinnacle bosses, and even then, the player must face the boss under severe handicaps. Clearly, getting the Sekhema's Resolve Ring is a daunting task that demands an end - game ready character equipped with excellent gear, a high level, and top - notch skills. Here's a detailed breakdown of the process.
How to Get Sekhema’s Resolve Ring in PoE 2
The Sekhema's Resolve Ring is a truly unique item in Path of Exile 2. It is an exclusive drop from Zarokh, the Temporal, who is the final boss of The Trial of the Sekhemas’ fourth floor. Zarokh, the Temporal comes with a special challenge mechanic. When he is defeated during a run with a one - time - use Unique Relic activated, he is guaranteed to drop a unique item from his exclusive loot table. The specific item dropped depends on the Relic used. To obtain the Sekhema’s Resolve Ring, you need to use The Burden of Leadership Relic.
When The Burden of Leadership Relic is activated, it has the effect of making “All Rooms are Unknown on the Trial map.” This is equivalent to the Veiled Sight (Major Affliction), which means you won't be able to see any details about the rooms in the trial, including the room type, affliction type, and reward type. This is one of the most difficult afflictions to deal with, making the run significantly more challenging.
How to Farm The Burden of Leadership Unique Relic in PoE 2
All Unique Relics, including The Burden of Leadership, are random drops when you defeat Zarokh, the Temporal during any run. Although you can't control which Unique Relic Zarokh drops, there are two ways to increase the drop rate of Unique Relics:
1. Stack "Increased Rarity of Items Found" on your gear. This boosts the likelihood of getting rare items, including Unique Relics.
2. Place Relics with the "#% Increased Quantity of Relics Dropped By Monsters" stat in the Djinn Barya before starting the run. This modification helps to increase the number of relics dropped by monsters, thus increasing the chances of getting the desired Unique Relic.
If you're fortunate enough to get the Enchanted Urn Minor Boon during the run, it will increase the effectiveness of your non - Unique Relics by 30%, providing a substantial boost to the drop rate.
It's important to note that Zarokh, the Temporal can only be encountered through Level 75+ Djinn Baryas (Four Floors).
Alternatively, you can obtain any Unique Relic through the official PoE 2 trade site. However, if you choose this option, it might be more practical to buy the Sekhema’s Resolve Ring directly instead.
How to Use Sekhema’s Resolve Ring
There are three variants of the Sekhema’s Resolve Ring:
- Sekhema’s Resolve Ring (Ruby)
- Sekhema’s Resolve Ring (Emerald)
- Sekhema’s Resolve Ring (Sapphire)
Each variant of the Sekhema’s Resolve Ring allows the player to socket a Jewel inside it, adding the effects of the Jewel to the Ring’s existing stats. However, a Sekhema’s Resolve Ring (Ruby) only accepts a Ruby Jewel; Sapphire or Emerald Jewels cannot be socketed in it. The same restriction applies to the other two variants. The advantage of the Sekhema’s Resolve Ring is clear. It provides an extra Jewel Socket, allowing you to enhance your character's build without having to spend additional points in the Passive Skill tree.
It should be noted that Unique Jewels cannot be socketed into a Sekhema’s Resolve Ring.
To socket a Jewel in the Sekhema’s Resolve Ring, simply left - click the Jewel, hover over the ring, and left - click again to place the Jewel inside. You can freely swap Jewels at any time by right - clicking the Jewel and removing it.
