In order to complete this trial, a character must follow an invisible path, as marked on the mosaic floor in front of the sacrificial bowl. Straying from the path will return the character to the start of the trial or to the nearest platform, but only up to two times; any failures after the second will instead instantly kill the character and ''then'' teleport them to the nearest platform. However, in ''Honour Mode'' even a single misstep results in immediate death. | In order to complete this trial, a character must follow an invisible path, as marked on the mosaic floor in front of the sacrificial bowl.

As with the Soft-Step Trial, this trial should be completed with a single character, and indeed it is quite important to split the party before venturing past the starting point, lest the other party members' pathing may send them to a premature death. Even after the trial has been completed, party members can still be killed by missing the pathway. | ||

It is NOT possible to jump across gaps in the path or between platforms, and any attempts to do so will result in the character being teleported back to the nearest platform or killed.
