I can't get my 3rd ascendancy

Note: Trying to be helpful


1. If you practice on some lower level sanctums 40ish / 50ish you may be able to farm up useful relics. I like Honor Resistance, more max Honor, more Honor recovered, etc. For me I knew for a fact I was going to mess up but those sorts of mods gave me enough cushion to both survive a bad room AND recover before the next boss.

Oddly even low relics like those that give "extra water" might be useful if you can find a merchant -- buying relics can be super helpful.

2. Get 25% [or better] move speed boots.

3. Don't fight anything you don't absolutely have to. If you can [safely] avoid a fight that's half the battle.

4. Try to avoid afflictions that take away your ability to path through the trials. Afflictions, unless taken very late, that hide the room type, room reward, take you to a random room, etc. can be run killers.

5. You could run some level 64 or 65 trials. I don't think (??) that they would be worlds harder than L61 and they are much cheaper.

6. If you're really good at Ultimatum [Trial of Chaos] maybe give that a shot instead. Unless I'm mistaken you technically have a choice.

7. If you're a warrior maybe play like a coward -- it worked for me -- Shout, Hammer of the Gods, let it hit for good damage, be full evasive until your next hammer??

8. Don't be afraid to overlevel the fight.

FYI: It took me 2 or 3 times of "find the right trial key by luck", run the trial, try again until succeed.

Furthermore as you only played one league in PoE1 recently and got only 9 challenges done with a level 91 char I assume, that you will be learning the basics of PoE1 and also PoE2 for quite a while and that you are not nearly done with understanding all mechanics and how good builds really work. Keep going, and in a few more 100 hours you will look back at this and understand, that it wasn't such a big problem at all.

Thanks for reminding me to change my privacy settings, creep. Not everyone plays every league, I came back to PoE2 because it is new and interesting, sanctum is not new or interesting.

I hated sanctum with a passion in the first game and I hate it even more in the 2nd game now that it is part of the ascendancy system.

It was a mistake to tie these systems together.

First death was at boss because a tornado spawned on me and killed me before I could even dodge roll out.

Hard agree here, it is some serious bullshit. But after dying to it once and watching my replay, the chicken has this animation. Haven't died to it since, nevertheless I was annoyed because ain't no fucking way it should kill you when you're dodge rolling away.
