Faith Leap Insta Death Bug - any work arounds?

[VenomousFangs]

Ok, tried this for 1 1/2 hours, managed to get to the platform at the back shrouded in dark, with the dark sphere in it, and any attempt to get to the sphere results in instant death.

Tried jumping, flying, using light spell to dispel the dark shroud, infravision potions. Tried different all 4 party members, including Shadowheart who presumably should be able to resist dark been a priestess of Shar.

Nothing works keep getting the same result, gets killed and teleported to a random location dead.

Any work around for this bug?

take a screenshot of it, I dont think you are at the right spot.

Its not a bug per se. But you've got to jump/fly/teleport to a safe place.

If you look at the floor just before the puzzle there is a map of where you can safely go, but that's just for walking, i've found trying to jump/fly/teleport to be risky.

The best places i've found is the corners of the platforms, those seem safe.

Alternately, look at the map and carefully follow it. If in doubt, throw a useless item to the area where you think the next square should be. If you get it right, the object will stay there and the floor will highlight (IIRC), get it wrong, and it will fall.

Put on the ring that prevent blindness, then use Misty Step/Dimensional Door/Arcane Gate/Fly/Teleport to get to each pedestal you can see. It worked for me.

I know that's not what the devs intended, but it doesn't matter.

Not reading my post people, the problem isn't getting to the orb platform, it is retrieving the orb without dying. Tried F12 for screen shot, no luck, did't work.

I had troubles too and tried the suggestion of positioning Shadowheart on the right at the start of the maze. I then selected the rear platform, clicked, and she navigated herself to that spot without trouble. Perhaps they closed off this loophole / solution, but it worked for me around a month back.

If just trying to get the orb is killing you then its a bug and there is no workaround I can think of short of using a cheat engine and spawning a new orb.

I completed the trial on all four of my playthroughs so far in the same way. I start the trial with Shadowheart doing the blood sacrifice in the bowl, then I click the far platform and my character just runs to it completely disregarding any of the other platforms or the puzzle. I just assumed this trial was broken since it was clearly not the intended solution.
