Trial of Crippling Grief

Trial of Crippling Grief is one of the six Trials of Ascendancy, It can be found in map randomly or by using prophecy to increase the odd.

The "easier" versions of the Trial of Crippling Grief can be found in The Chamber of Sins Level 2 (Act 2) and The Chamber of Sins Level 2 (Act 7). They are no longer refer as "Trial of Crippling Grief".

It demonstrates Sawblades, which run along a set path, taking player's energy shield and health quickly when cut by them, enough to kill in roughly one second. The damage does not depend on difficulty, but the layout is harder on higher difficulties.

Upon completing the trial, Izaro gives the message "There is a fine line between consideration and hesitation. The former is wisdom, the latter is fear." and you are provided with a portal back to the entrance.

Version history

 * (Undocumented) Due to the game having eliminated the difficulty system, the trials in the Acts are simply named after the locations they are located. Moreover, Cruel and merciless labs only requires 3 trials, making total number of trials have decreased from 24 to 18.


 * There are six new Trials of Ascendancy that can be found in non-unique maps. These trials are more complex and random than the ones in the regular game. Completing a Trial rewards you with an item.
 * Once you have completed all six Trials, you are able to use your Offering to the Goddess items in a Map Device to access the Endgame Labyrinth. These items are not technically maps, so you cannot use Sacrifice Fragments or on them.
 * The Endgame Trials and Labyrinth include a new trap type - Sentinel Traps: These traps apply one of many effects to an area and can be temporarily deactivated by dealing damage to them.
