Unique Relics in Path of Exile 2 are a way to earn special rewards by making the Trial of the Sekhemas harder. Only by defeating Zarokh, the Temporal, the final boss on the fourth floor of the trial with a Unique Relic equipped, can players obtain these rewards. Best of all? They are guaranteed drops, unlike basically everything else in the game.
This makes these items one of the only true skill checks in PoE 2. For players who are confident in their build and DPS, there are few better ways of making money in-game than through this Trial.

How to Get Unique Relics in PoE 2
There are only two ways to obtain Unique relics in Path of Exile 2:
- As a random drop from Zarokh, the Temporal in a regular run (requires Level 75+ Djinn Barya).
- By trading with other players.
The drop rate for Unique relics is directly proportional to the value of the Unique you get for defeating Zarokh with that Relic equipped. The Last Flame is the rarest Unique Relic there is because using it gives you Temporalis, one of the most broken items in the entire game. On the other hand, The Burden of Leadership drops much more frequently because the Unique it gives you, Sekhema’s Resolve Ring, is not as valuable.
This also translates to pricing on the trade site. The Last Flame relic can go for as much as 250 Divine Orbs, whereas The Burden of Leadership is much, much cheaper.
How to Farm Unique Relics From Zarokh in PoE 2
It’s relatively straightforward to farm Unique Relics in the Trial of the Sekhemas. You basically need two things:
- Stack Relics with the #% increased quantity of Relics dropped by Monsters modifier. The maximum you can have is 20% on a single Relic.
- Get the Enchanted Urn Minor Boon (30% increased Effect of your Non-Unique Relics) from the Merchant.
The Enchanted Urn Minor Boon isn’t guaranteed to appear in the Merchant’s shop, but you can use a combination of the Silver Tongue Boon (reduced Merchant prices) and the Chipped Dice Boon (Merchant shop can be rerolled) to consistently clear out the Merchant’s inventory for a high chance of obtaining the Enchanted Urn before the run is over.
