The "easier" versions of this Trial --which are no longer referred to as "Trial of Lingering Pain"-- can be found in The Catacombs (Act 3) and The Tunnel (Act 9).

The Trial features Blade Sentries, which are very wide traps that move along set paths. The damage is proportional, and does not depend on area level; when the player character is cut by the moving traps, they rapidly take Energy Shield and Health damage (which can kill underspecced, non-Bleed immune players in roughly one second) The Trial's layout, however, does become harder on latter act and in map.

Upon completing the Trial, Izaro gives the message "An emperor must wear two blades. Hope in the left hand, Surety in the right." and you are provided with a portal back to the entrance.
