Faith leap trial
I don't get it or how it works. I try memorizing where the platforms are before they disappear and I die, I tried a fly potion to be certain I was clicking where a platform was, and I die. I tried jumping on a darkness covered platform and I died. I don't even know how to start with this trial, my every idea on how to pass it has killed me

I think it bugged for me, because I could always see the vague outline of the platforms in the mist.

I had similar issues, essentially dying every time I jumped. Not sure whether this was intended or not, since some people actually create guides with jumping in mind.
Try walking up to the last visible darkness-filled platform (memorizing outlines or there is a map right in front of the ritual bowl) and jumping right to the umbral gem.

The path is etched into the floor, look before in the middle before you walk out
use the big squares to judge how long it is, and f5 like there's no tomorrow

Also had this, I wasn't sure why it was called faith leap, I just figured maybe shadowheart gets to see them?

I could not figur it out and used Dimension Door & Misty Step.

For some reason it took a while, but it worked. Felt very finicky though, like sometimes I walked where it shouldve been safe and just died. Dunno why. Now I'm onto a new issue, Im apparently missing a purple orb. I did 3 trials and can't find a 4th one, have nothing to insert into this last socket

The faithleap trial is not that complicated. And there's no 'bug' with it either, I did it on my first try without any guide.

Move your entire party to the back of the trial area. Observe the path (it reveals itself if you're far enough away), that's the path you need to follow.

You can do it in like 3 jumps, on the final one I just took an easy guess and got to the other end.

Without spoiling it, there's no trial for the fourth orb, you just have to keep exploring the area

The floor in front of the sacrifice bowl has a map of the platforms you can stand on, leave your companions there and just go alone.

I have a little cheesy mthod if you care for it:
Go stabdd on one of the shadowy steps. Do you have Misty Step or Grant Flight?
Use those to just.. go to the Umbral Gem. Done. Be sure to land yourself on onbe of the plattforms where those two statues are. Then fly right to the bowl.

it seems to be a very narrow invisible path, I was able to walk without jumping almost to the end and then I jumped the last few meters

I'm not sure why people are saying there is no bugs. As with most people have said I can see the locations if i'm far enough back and also i can see the map. When i jump though the person always dies even though i'm lik 99% it is a safe place according to the map and the area you can see if you far enough back. Also the library is bugged for me too I put the correct book "i looked it up " and it still says missing ingrediant the trap goes off and the door never opens. i'm probalby just going to fly at this point.

After I finish the trial, take the orb and teleported back to the first place, Shar doesn't speak to end the quest. It is so annoying. Anybody having the same issue?

The reason that jump kills you is that if the target is out of your jump distance the character walks forward until it isn't - usually falling to their death. Jumping to the darkness shrouded platforms is safe, but only if they're in range of your current position.

The invisible platforms don't disappear or move, they're in a fixed location.

What? I never had a problem in this trial because can see every platform to walk in. May be its graphic settings causing trouble? I just set shadows to low.
