Clearing Floor 3 and beyond in the Test of Cunning Barya trial in Path of Exile 2 is one of the toughest challenges players face in the Trial of the Sekhemas.
Floor 3 Overview
Floor 3 intensifies traps, puzzles, and enemy waves. Precision and situational awareness become critical.
Environmental hazards include spike traps, quicksand pools that slow movement, and pressure plates triggering poison or explosions.
The layout demands careful platform navigation, often requiring jumps or teleportation skills.
Key Tips for Floor 3 and Beyond
Mobility Is Crucial
Use movement skills like Blink Arrow, Dash, or Spectral Throw teleport to avoid traps and cross platforms quickly.
Keep movement speed buffs active, and utilize Boons that enhance dodging and mobility.
Avoid Trap Triggers
Watch for pressure plates on the ground and plan paths around them.
Maintain distance from spike floors and fire jets; patience is needed to time safe passage.
Combat Strategy
Clear enemies swiftly to avoid being overwhelmed, but don’t rush into traps.
Use crowd control skills and long-range attacks to handle waves before moving forward.
Shrine and Boon Choices
Prioritize Boons that grant trap immunity, damage reduction, and Honour restoration.
Use shrines to replenish Honour often; floor 3 can be punishing without frequent healing.
Puzzle Awareness
Certain rooms require activating pressure plates or solving simple puzzles. Observe patterns and move deliberately.
Use environmental clues and remember paths for efficiency.
Prepare for Floor 4 and the Boss
After clearing floor 3, prepare for the final floor with increased enemy density and the boss fight against Ashar, the Sand Mother.
Conserve flasks and Honour to maintain survivability.
Beyond Floor 3
Enemies become more aggressive and traps more frequent.
Keep movement and trap avoidance skills priority over raw damage.
Adapt your build if necessary to support high mobility and sustainability.
Final Boss Tips (Ashar, the Sand Mother)
Pay attention to attack telegraphs and dodge large area attacks.
Use distance and safe zones to apply pressure without taking damage.
Leverage high burst damage skills during openings.
Successfully clearing Floor 3 and beyond in the Test of Cunning Barya requires a mix of high mobility, trap awareness, strategic combat, and resource management. Careful navigation, combined with effective use of Boons and flasks, will pave the way to conquering the trial’s toughest challenges and facing the final boss prepared.
