Cant get 2nd ascendancy

I did the trial of chaos first now i cant get my second set of points. Number of Sekhemas trials 1 and 2 both say "will grant additional ascendancy points". Finishing either of those results in the alter not being active even though I get the message to retrieve points. Using the 2 trial coin does not allow me to continue after trial 1. I'm stuck with only my 2 points and no ultimatums to even try that. Level 61 Huntress in Cruel 3
