I lost my honor mode playthrough to the faith leap trial in the gauntlet of shar.

That was an awful mechanic in my first playthrough, its an awful mechanic now. Sometimes stepping off a platform kills you, sometimes it doesnt, you cant resurrect anyone in the platforms due to the darkness, so if it bugs out and kills you you're screwed unless you complete the trial. On the last character I said screw it and used triple jump to jump to the first 2 platforms and then for some reason jumping to the last platform killed me.

How has this not been reworked by this point? I know its an easy trial to just follow the map but it is so absurdly buggy, inconsistent and punishing.

You can resurrect them from withers... I mean, why throwing away your honor mode like that?

ps: the safe way to jump is, imo, move forward on the invisible floor > jump on the first, move forward to the corner > jump on the second > move forward to the corner, ***Jump on the invisible floor*** > jump on the third ( the one with the gem ).

It's easy to cheese with either a Fly spell or a flying character (like Halsin in raven form). The only trick to it, is the darkness quite deliberately doesn't always make it super easy to be sure where the platforms end, so don't overshoot.

BTW: the only reason the trial attempter should die is they didn't put their blood in the bowl. If their blood is in the bowl and they "mis-step" they should just reappear at the beginning.

Shadowheart insists on doing it, and you'll get a wee bit of disapproval, but you can insist Halsin does it instead. (Or someone else.) Flight or teleport is a much more reliable way to cheese it than long distance jumping.

I put sharts blood in the bowl and after the second missstep she died.

I then tried sending Astarion, to follow the path, like an idiot, and I didnt have anyone with a good lockpicking to open the door and go resurrect everyone with withers.

I get that its easy to cheese, but the fact that it is such a poorly communicated buggy mess and no one seems to enjoy the puzzle and instead just misty steps/jumps/does whatever to cheese it should be a sign that it is due for a redesign and a little TLC.

Luckily as soon as I saw my last character drop I pulled the plug on my computer so it didnt sync and I still have my honor mode going.

You can literally just click to the end of it and your character will auto path to the end. Just jump right at the end so they dont bug out trying to climb over nothing and fall
