Trials of chaos not rewarding ascendancy upon completion, cruel difficulty

I've now twice (1st time yesterday, 2nd time just now) completed trials of ascendancy, trials of chaos with triggering item reading "completing this trial will reward you with ascendancy" (or such, dont remember it word for word) text.

When I finally complete it and get to the end room where rare corrupted reward drops, there's no ascendancy reward anywhere. When I exit these trials of chaos, I get dumped into normal difficulty, instead of cruel difficulty, where I started these trials.

Had the same. Now it has a grey text "Completing this trial will no give you additional ascendancy points", right? What level you are, 78+?

+1 for this,

Completed a level 67 one with 7 trials, no ascendancy points

Strangely, reading Ascendancy's info gives some wrong information too, it claims set 1 is achieved from floor 1 of Sekhema and 7 trials in ToC, but the first quest is 1 floor and 4 trials in ToC

Then, it claims the other set is achieved through two floors of Sekhema, but that's not true either, it's achieved through 3 from level 60 Barya's and above. 7 Trials and 2 bosses should give you another set, but it doesn't

Wait...

Is everyone here having this issue while having 6 total ascendancy points because they already completed Trial of Sekhemas' 3 floors?

Quote this if so.

I think we've gotta do Floor 4 of Sekhemas or the secret door of ToC for our final 2. If we did the 7 trials FIRST, the opposite lockout may have happened.

I still have green text last time I checked.

Im lvl lvl 72 or so if I remember correctly (not home atm).

How I think ascendancies work,

To get two ascendancy points you either have to do a trial you have not done yet at all during campaign
or do a trial you have already done with the apropriate difficulty.

Meaning each trial has 4 tiers and you need to do a trial of the
tier 1 for points 1+2,
tier 2 for points 3+4,
tier 3 for points 5+6
and tier 4 for points 7+8.

So once the full game is there you usualy get your points 1-6 from the 3 trials you do during campaign, and then in endgame you pick one of them and do it at tier 4.

Lacking the 3rd option right now, you need to do a Tier 3 version of the trials for your points 5+6
so that means either Sekhemas (Sanctum) with 3 Floors or Chaos (Ultimatum) with 10 floors.

edit the Tiers for Sekhemas are straight forward
Tier 1 = 1 floor
Tier 2 = 2 floors
Tier 3 = 3 floors
Tier 4 = 4 floors
For Chaos its not as obvious,
Tier 1 = 4 floors
Tier 2 = 7 floors
Tier 3 = 10 floors
Tier 4 = ? the numbers would suggest 13 floors, but duno

X_x urgh why is this so convoluted, my poor after-workday brain … Ive ever only done “trials: 4” ones, if that is what you are talking about, sekh-whatever-it-was and chaos, with both I got 1 ascendancy. What I am failing to get is 3rd ascendancy. So, sounds like green text is broken(?).

Same here... I finished the 7 trials got the rewards and no points

Same here. I guess we gotta wait till the fix this - because i´ve done my research on this and everyone told me - doing it at lvl X does the job. But it doesen´t. So I guess wait.

Aye, so I did read it a bit more and you're more or less correct now that I've done a deep dive.

Basically, the ascendancies are an EITHER/OR option for each set.

So basically if you don't want to do ANY Trial of Sekhemas, you can do JUST ToC. However, if you HAVE done Sekhemas, it removes that tier from your equation.

Meaning THIS IS NOT A BUG, but a mass misunderstanding for us. Details below;

---

SO

Set 1 = EITHER 1 floors of Sekhemas - OR 7 trials in ToC

^--- Completing Set 1 by doing Floor 1 of Sekhemas removes ascendancy gain from 7 trials in ToC (This is why we are not able to get ascendancy points from 7 trials. We have done floor 1 of Sekhemas)

Set 2 = EITHER 2 floors of Sekhemas - OR 4 trials in ToC

^--- Completing Set 2 by doing 4 trials in ToC removes ascendancy gain from 2 floors of Sekhemas (This is why we didn't get ascendancy points from the 2 floor coins. That wasn't a bug either. We did the ToC quest)

Set 3 = EITHER 3 floors of Sekhemas - OR 10 trials in ToC

^--- This is where we're at. If you're at 4 points of ascendancy by completing ToC and Sekhemas, go do your 3 floor Baryas at level 60 and above, or wait for a 10 trial ToC and you'll get your 2 points

Set 4 = EITHER 4 floors of Sekhemas - OR secret door in ToC

^--- This is what we need if we've done our 3 floors of Sekhemas. My recommendation is the 4 floors of Sekhemas. Stack Honour Resistance like crazy and Honour Restore or Maximum Honour. Here you'll get your final 2 Ascendancy Points

Hopefully this makes more sense to everyone, cause once I understood it I had a big "Oooooooh" moment, bahaha
