    How to unlock Trials - Chapter XIII

    Please note that if you FAIL the Trial simply press and Restart from Last Checkpoint instead of starting the level from beginning. Also for the Trials do not rush, take your time at certain points.

    Castle Hall

    • Requirements: Finish the level without allowing Laura to kill a single enemy.
    • Tips: I would recommend playing on Warrior difficulty simply because Laura can kill enemies too easy on Squire difficulty. A good tip is to kill the first wave normally (without using any magic) then once Laura comes to help you either give it a few seconds for all enemies to spawn (ghouls, skeletons) or use holly water, then simply use the Dark Crystal and it will clear the room of all the enemies; after that finish the level. Like mentioned in the full game guide the best place to obtain a Dark Crystal is in chapter 10 level 3.

    Abandoned Wing

    • Requirements: Finish the level and cross the deadly blade wall without dying, keeping the mechanism at its maximum speed at all times.
    • Tips: red blades move fast, blue blades move slow keep that in mind. Before passing the very first blade make sure you put it at maximum speed by pressing the twice (if done correctly the blue blades will be moving). Make sure you take your time here, do not rush. Where appropriate (only left to right) do a fast move by moving or in the direction desired and pressing the to jump (keep in mind that both have to pressed at the same time otherwise it wont work). When you reach the first blue blade (above the circular mechanism) stay above the circle mechanism and get a feel of the blade's movements. After the first blue blade you will have 2 red blades below it, go to the far left end of the 2 red blades (once on the far left you can go up and down without having to worry; this is where you can repeat the up/down process until you get aquainted with the movements of the 3 blue blades below) and look for optimal choice for the below 3 blue blades. After passing the 3 blue blades do NOT go down but go LEFT instead. (To me this is probably one of the hardest trial in the entire game).

     

    Founder's Quarters

    • Requirements: Finish the level by filling the three pots of the Blood Orbs puzzle at the same time.
    • Tips: Rows will go top to bottom (top row, middle row, bottom row); Squares from left to right (left, center, right)

      Middle Row - Right Square -
      Middle Row - Center Square - then
      Middle Row - Center Square - twice
      Bottom Row - Center Square - (at this point you should have left and right blood ready)
      Bottom Row - Center Square - (all 3 bloods should be ready)
      Then press to Drop the Blood

  • Easily the most challenging trophy in the game, I think. The electric grinder part was quite mean.
  • Actually, I had more problems playing the level for the first time, trying to speed up and slow down the power to get the blue saws to stop where I wanted them. Only after, reading what the trial asked to do, I noticed it was much easier to just pass through at full speed.
