The Faith Leap Trial is terrible.

[MegaKootz]

For the first time in this game I have encountered a trial with no options.. You cannot jump it.. you cannot fly over it..

If you have the pixies blessing or blessing of selune already you cannot complete it as you have too much light coming off you to see the platforms.

You can go back to another zone to drop the pixie blessing but selune comes right back...

This feels so broken and unfun.. nothing like the game I have been playing..

I have put things on the ground to map the path.. and still fall off the path because that does not work...

How the hell are you supposed to complete the absolute 0/10 part of bg3.

Multiple options. Have patience. Or do it like here

the game gives you a map. just look at it, remember it and easy

I'm still able to teleport through it, with multiple teleports. I've also heard that they reinstated the Knock spell working on the door to the Shadowfel. I've also heard people say that you can Featherfall jump past the platform that requires one orb, meaning you might just need the other three.

That jump trick allows you to skip all trials in fact

Daylight spell will help illuminate paths when viewed at a distance.

I usually Dimension Door x2 however.

I've done it with Fly and Jump before, but pathing is important. If you go through a dark forbidden spot you count as failing.

Pretty much everyone seems to agree that the Faith Leap Trial is annoying. Somebody at Larian must like it though, because not only have they kept it in but they also keep patching out exploits that let people bypass it.

Misty step to the middle platform, jump onto the path to the left of the middle platform, misty step to the end, it's really not that hard

I think it is the coolest of all trials of Shar

[Sonrangeri]

You don't do it normal way. Just switch into your Gale, or anyone who knows Flight spell or scroll it, and be done with it.

Its got some shar in the machine, for sure. If you try to cheat it can flat out kill you, but cheating does work, you just need to know how to do it.
the easiest cheat is simply to flip the perspective of the room and look from the goal back to the start. The path is hard to see, but you CAN see it. There are other tricks that can reveal it as well, then you just walk and its done. Jumping works but you can't jump from the start platform height, same as fly -- there is like a 'trigger plane' you can't cross or you just die. Misty step works if you have multiple uses... by now you have at least 2 from boots/necklace and probably at least 1 scroll, and that is enough to cross the room. 2 is probably enough if you do it just so, but 3 for sure.

if they care enough to fully force you to walk it, they could just put a death aura that covers the trial and a set of invisible triggers on the paths and if you don't step on one every turn you die from the aura. Picking up the stone disables the aura. Fixed.

If I cast light I can see a tiny dot at the center of each square that is part of the path. I just follow the dots. Your path-finding line will also show you where you will fall to your death because it dips where there isn't anything.

Wasn't there a map of the path painted on the ground right when you enter the room? I'm pretty sure there was.

There is

So the last time I ran this was after patch 7, and I walked it as intended. It seemed like half the time Shadowheart fell off the path, she teleported to the beginning. The other half of the time, she instantly died.

That part was quite annoying.

Why is it inconsistent? I must be missing something.
