Path of Exile 2: How to Get Temporalis Silk Robe
The Temporalis Silk Robe is one of the top-tier items in Path of Exile 2, given its powerful cooldown reduction for spells, making it an essential item for high-speed, spell-based builds. However, obtaining it is a real challenge, requiring players to take on one of the hardest trials in the game and meet some extremely specific conditions.
How to Obtain the Temporalis Silk Robe:
Final Boss Requirement: The Temporalis Silk Robe drops exclusively from Zarohk, the Temporal, who can be found at the end of the Trial of the Sekhemas' fourth floor.
Relic Condition: To unlock the drop, you must use the Last Flame Unique Relic during the fight with Zarohk. The Last Flame has a drastic effect: it reduces your maximum honor to 1, meaning that any hit from an enemy will instantly fail the trial. This makes completing the fight with the Last Flame active incredibly difficult.
Recommended Builds for Temporalis:
Chayula Monk (with Darkness for defensive layers): This build uses the defensive mechanics of Darkness (likely through curses or other protective layers) to absorb hits without dying, as well as maintain high damage output. The Monk's mobility and ability to weave through mechanics help avoid the high-risk scenario presented by the Last Flame.
Sorceress Spark Stormweaver: This build focuses on maximizing damage output while keeping the distance from Zarohk's dangerous attacks. The Sorceress can use Spark or similar spell-based skills to keep attacking without getting close to the boss, allowing for more control over the encounter.
How to Farm the Last Flame Relic:
Zarohk's Drop Pool: The Last Flame is a rare drop from Zarohk, and it only drops on the fourth floor of the Trial of the Sekhemas.
Required Level: You'll need an Area Level 75+ Djinn Barya to unlock the encounter, as this is the level at which the final floor becomes accessible.
Increase Drop Rate: The best strategy for farming the Last Flame is to maximize the #% Increased Quantity of Relics Dropped by Monsters modifier on your relics. Additionally, using the Enchanted Urn Minor Boon, which increases the effect of non-unique relics by 30%, can drastically boost your odds of obtaining rare relics.
Stack Relic Boosters: Using multiple relics that increase the relic drop rate can sometimes lead to 4-5 Unique Relic drops per Zarohk defeat, making farming a bit more efficient.
Trading:
Both the Last Flame and Temporalis Silk Robe can also be found on the official PoE 2 trading website, but given the rarity of the items, they tend to come with a hefty price tag.
If you're preparing for this challenge, you'll need to plan carefully around your build's defense and offense. Even if you don't get the Temporalis Silk Robe right away, the relic farming process can still offer some of the game's best Path of Exile 2 items and builds. The right combination of relics can significantly boost your damage output or survivability, and some can be traded for high-value PoE 2 currency. If you're focusing on farming for these relics, it might be worth optimizing your build to handle the high difficulty of Sekhemas trials while maximizing relic drops.
