Cruel Trial of Sekhemas bugged

I have a quest called "Ascent to Power" in which it keeps telling me to search traitor's passage. I have already explored the whole map numerous times as well as killed Balbala each time and the quest still doesn't update nor do I get a coin which allows me to go for the third ascendancy trial. Please fix this asap!

Hey! same here, I entered ones but dies. Now I can only tp to it but the lvl of mosters is 22 (im in cruel difficulty) and the quest act same as you WTF!!

I have the same issue, now every trial is bugged on cruel and canot get ascendency points -

Please is there any fix to this? I do not get any additional ascendency points for completing higher level trials.

I have completed trials of chaos and Trial of the Sekhemas on normal level , and so I have 4 points.

The next thing I have noticed, is that quest in traitor's passage on cruel bugged out, It says to search this area, and never finished I have repeated the fight with Balbala numerous times and nothing happens.

So I cannot join high level trial Sekhemas on cruel ( I have tried to open the area on normal and put in the lv 70 map.)
Same thing for trial of chaos I punt in inscribed ultimatum lv 70, Number of trials : 7

After finishing the ascendency fountain is not clickable at all.

Doing this again, but it gives no points towards ascendency points 5,6

This is really frustrating I have been griding for this, and seeing my character would not be able to progress because of the bug is huge dissapointment.

Please advice. Can you for example reset this quest ? than i could re try it and see if it will unstuck for me . Pretty Please !!!

Did this ever get fixed for you?

I have the same issue in 0.2 and I can't use the trial of Sekhemas, only chaos
