Faith leap trial is impossible now

[Jardenon]

they made the floors truly invisible, and you can't cheese it. I hate this trial. I follow the map and the floor is still wrong

Truly a horrible puzzle, I even made pictures of the tiles that are visible before you start it and I would still die randomly. I kept the pictures on my second monitor, I eventually did it by using flight to the other end but I still had to walk trough the smoke(on the last platform with the orb) and got teleported and died but eventually I got to the orb.
At the very least they should SAVE THE GAME as you enter the room, lost 40 minutes of progress because of it. No idea why devs feel the need to force stupid puzzles on people.

You can skip the trials with feather fall and knock. You can jump diagonally down the crack in the stairs where you see the displacer beast with feather fall, which skips the gem elevator. Cast knock on the door that is wanting the 3 gems, and you are through. There is a waypoint down there too for convenience, so you can jump down solo and fast travel the rest of your party there.

I would at least do the self-same trial (go in solo) as the killer's sweetheart ring that is dropped on the ground by your doppelganger is very good.

teleport or fly lol

I did it saving the game progress all the time doing step by step, if i failed, i reloaded to the last half way i was in the path and try again from there

Fly spell or scroll... Misty step...
Done

Just jumping also works, but yours is probably safer

[GrandMajora]

Yeah, it's pretty much damn near impossible to do this trial properly anymore.

Fortunately, you don't even need all the orbs to open the door to the Shadowfell. Just cast KNOCK and bypass the trials completely!

You can use Knock spell to skip the gantlet of Shar XD. You only need 1 gem for the elevator.

You don't need that 1 gem either. You can also fly down if you look down at the right angle

[Baldurs_Gate_2]

It's dogpoop now. If you try to fly there, not even touching any altars with statues, you get send back to the beginning. You don't even fall down, but three times and you are dead lol

Better use a knock scroll in honour mode, it's just too risky.

unless they changed it recently (they may have) you can just click the corner of the end platform with the gem and your character will auto-path to it. If they took that out then that sucks because that trick is only thing that makes this trial bearable at all without spending resources like fly scrolls

As of today (10/13/24) I've been unable to target the gem as it's coated in darkness and trying to autopath it just walks me off the path to death.

[Exarch_Alpha]

Did it just fine.

Skill issue. Look at the map the game gives.

Imagine when those people reach the brain puzzle in the illhithid lair. So many minds will explode...

I tried the challenge a few days ago and it's such ass now. Fly doesn't work. Teleport doesn't work. Jumping doesn't work. Autopath doesn't work. See Invisibility and Light don't work.

You have to do the challenge perfectly while looking at the map, and sometimes even THAT doesn't work because you missed the platform by a few pixels and the game kills you. And the kicker is that you can't even resurrect your companions with Revivify scrolls because of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ darkness clouds!!!

Thankfully, the Knock workaround exists, but Jesus Christ, what a pain in the ass.
