End of the Leap of Faith Trial?

[hagathina]

I have reached the far platform where the orb is. I am literally standing right beside the platform. I can see the orb that I am supposed to pick up. But no matter what I do, I die. Climb on the platform -- die. Try to grab the orb -- die. Jump up over the darkness to the orb -- die.

What exactly am I supposed to do once I've reached this point (And god this is an awful, frustrating, boring, idiotic "quest.")

You should be able to just jump up to the platform and pick up the orb.

The best way I have found to do this trial is to have all the keys from Moonrise and just drop them in front of you as you follow the route to the far platform. I always offer blood at the start then I know the umbral gem will spawn.

I had this problem before as well. I had to save, and restart the game. It worked fine after that.

You can not jump over the darkness, you can only misty step/dimension door onto a platform.
You also should check if you had activated the trial by sacrificing your blood, it was my problem the last time I played and got the same issue as you.
Also for future reference, if you have "Knock" spell you only need two spheres to proceed, as every sharran door can be opened with it, so you can skip most trials.

Enhanced Leap will work fine for that quest, You can jump over the darkness. I have did it over a dozen times.

I don't think you can, i've just loaded a save with that trial and tried to jump with githyanki enhanced leap over to the end platform and died. Tried to jump over to the right platform and died too.
Maybe it was changed in later patches, idk.

Wiki at least concurs with what Ive said.

You can't " Land" on any darkness that is not one of the safe areas. But you can certainly leap as the last step to the last platform. You need to land right next to the Gem.

No, you can't jump over the chasm. You can jump on the path or from path to the platform if you not jumping over a chasm.

Use a lightspell to help illuminate the path

And the Wiki is not always correct. But it's ok. I will keep doing it like I have, because it works.

But it may a misunderstanding in what I am saying works. I don't try to leap from the platform closest to the last one to the one where the gem is. I move closer along the safe path and then leap.

Also, keep in mind....the name of the quest. :)

Wiki is kinda correct on that one tho, cause i checked it several times and i know the misty step trick because of me dying several times on the latest playthrough xD. But yeah, jumping from the path or onto it is okay as long as the trajectory of your jump is not going over the "chasm".

Also, i think it worked earlier, because i remember that on my first playthrough I had zero issues doing that trial without any tricks. They might've changed something, idk.

Originally, it was super easy to do. All you had to do was cast fly and then click on the last safe spot on the last Platform and your char would just fly to that spot. They changed that, so it will not work that way now.
