Trial of Fools - 100%?

[gza]

Is the trial of fools a requirement for 100%? I'm about to break my fingers because of this thing. The whole first half until you get to the spike part is monotonous and far too easy in comparison to the last bit. So boring. Not only that, the game freezes all the time especially when a new wave spawns.

I'm 2 hours into Trial 3 and can't even get to the flying bit with no floor. I always die just after the bit with the electricity cloud that follows you around and the teleporter that shoots fireballs. I keep jumping into them. :-P

You're missing one other thing. The Colosseum is only 1%

The thought had crossed my mind, but I've no idea what it could be. I've got all the charms and Void Heart, all mask shards and soul vessels. I've killed every boss and dream boss that I know of except Radiance, who I don't think counts for the 100%. I've looked at the requirements for 100% and nothing stands out. But you know, I've been at this for 70 hours and it's all becoming a blur.

Edit: Also got all the nail and spell upgrades.

Edit 2: Oh, it's Descending Dark! That's what I'm missing! Ha!

I just can't do it. Love this ♥♥♥♥ out of this game, but I've tried this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for multiple hours. I was hoping to 100% the game, but I'll just have to wait and pray that they release a charm in one of the updates that makes this challenge reasonable. This difficulty spike is way, way disproportunate with the rest of the game. I've beaten everything else, and there's been nothing that gave me half the trouble this ♥♥♥♥ is.

@lost954 It's crazy, eh! I suffered for two weeks before finally beating it.

I like a fair challenge. It's just that 90% of these challenges are relatively easy and the last 10% is extremely hard. So every time I die in the last section I have to do the boring 90% all over again. That's the most frustrating to me. I wish the challenges where shorter but harder.

I'm currently at the point where i can make it to the spike part pretty consistently. And after that, i can get to the enclosed box with the squits about half the time. But the obbles beforehand just damage me too much by then

I give up. The sequence is too long. I always die in one of the final parts and I'm done having to go through the same 10-minutes of filler content over and over again. It's a waist of time and IMO bad design that doesn't do any justice to the rest of the game.

I guess thats why they call it the Trial of the Fool. A deliberate tough challenge set out by the developers with the clear intention of not locking any unique rewards behind it (eg. charm notch, pale ore), bar the 100% complete rating and unnecessary late-game Geo.

For me it was the highlight of the game. I came at it twice. First time i found the Collosuem i completed the first two Trials without too much hassle. After dipping my toes in the third Trial i immediately found myself to be a bit underpowered. I was facing a whole bunch of enemies id never met before, unlike the previous two Trials. I still gave it a few goes but i took that as a hint and tbh id prefer to meet these enemies and learn their patterns in a more organic way, through exploring areas and fighting them individually.

Once i had my dude fully upgraded i went back and eventually beat it, coupled with new found familiarity in those late game enemies. Was still pretty damn hard, hit a brick wall a few times. Experimented, tried out a few different things. Figured out like others, that the charm which lets you charge your attacks quicker is a huge help for those 3 way flying spitting ♥♥♥♥♥ that everyone including myself, hates.

Its definitely an endurance test, much like the later forms of a certain Grey Prince.

I did burst out laughing though when it reaches the phase where spikes appear below you and the platforms raise, loads of those jumping spiders start spawning all over the place. I died there the first time i got to it and i wasnt even mad it was so ridiculous. Turns out theres a kinda easy way to cheese that phase, that also depends on a tiny bit of luck.

Anyway, those of you feeling the salt. Its alright, come back to it another day. Sometimes if you burn yourself out in one go theres no point in continuing, plus ive noticed that the next day you're a lot better as that muscle/pattern memory has a chance to set it. ;)

Good charm setup makes a huge difference. It also makes it go a lot faster. Extend your range, double your damage, speed up charge attacks. Took me three tries, less than 40 minutes total. Would have been 2 but I got lazy at the boss and tried to tank it with too little heatlh.

For me, the hardest part is the primal aspids. Those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥... This is a very stupid challenge.

Funny thing is, it was always building up, the feeling of "oh god that enemy is difficult, I sure do hope it won't get harder than this", and surely enough it did, and this Aspid is out there on the list of enemies that I will less likely escape without a scratch even if I tried as much.

Kinda sucks that I do need to do the entire arena though, as that would seriously make steel heart even harder...Good thing saving and quitting is a merciful option...Though I wonder if permadeath appplies in dream fights as well..

Also NICE JOB STEAM I CAN SEE WHAT'S WRITTEN IN THOSE HEARTS WHEN I QUOTE SOMEBODY. Talk about oversight.
