Sounds like you don't know how sekhemas works. Do you have a relic build with decent relics? You should have 75% honor resistance, increased dodge distance and increased movement speed, the merchant sells more and reduced cost / increased effects of non unique relics, and any extra into increased max honor.

The reduction to defense affliction is negligible because of the honor resistance. You barely take any damage even with 0 defense.

The merchant sells more + reduced merchant costs + increased effects of non unique relics means that all boons cost btwn 1 to 5 sacred water and that you get them all offered within the first floor. You get every boon - both minor and major - for less than 100 sacred water total before finishing the first floor. This includes the major boon that makes you immune to minor afflictions. You're immortal before finishing the first floor.

Sekhemas is heavily farmed because of how easy the above is + time lost jewel caches + temporalis relic and other expensive relics.

This article is completely wrong. You can get up to lvl 83 enemies and tier 19. The node that double corrupts your waystone can corrupt a T16 waystone up another tier thus allowing you to get level 83 enemies.

Take lvl 15 waystone and corrupt to T16. Take atlas node for corruption nodes corrupting your waystone a second time. Go into an irradiated and corrupted node and have the second corruption corrupt the T16 to T17 and you get level 83 enemies. Idk how you didn't know this when writing about max possible monster level.
