Finish the Ascension Trials

Path of Exile 2 - Finish the Ascension Trials
To get Ascendancy Skill Points to progress your Ascendancy Class, you must complete the daunting Ascension Trials!

The first instance you can get Ascendancy Skill Points is through the Trial of Sekhemas in Act 2. Upon first completion, you will be able to unlock your Ascendancy Class and be rewarded two Ascendancy Skill Points to use!

The second instance is through the Trial of Chaos in Act 3. Finishing it for the first time will reward you with another two Ascendancy Skill Points for a total of four points before Cruel Mode.

Why Get Ascendancy Skill Points?

To Progress Your Ascendancy Class

The Ascendancy Class is essentially the specialization or sub-class of your main class. Allotting points into their exclusive skills can drastically change or improve your already set build, meaning there are more avenues for you to explore!

Furthermore, Ascendancy Skill Points are not in the same pool as your passive skills, meaning the Ascendancy Skills are an individual boost of power to add to your build.
