Alternatively, heading north from the entrance room, the player enters an open hall with a lift overlooking a massive chasm.

A second, larger episode of tremors begins, and Justiciars are summoned to attack the party. Several waves appear, including a tremor in the center of the room that summons a [[Justiciar Crusader]] if not destroyed. Following the battle, the door to [[Balthazar|Balthazar's]] outpost at {{Coords|-852|-786}} opens up, revealing the necromancer along with [[Flesh]] and three [[Ghoul Medic]]s. Balthazar assumes you are a [[True Soul]] and tells the party to go and complete the trials for him, as the Justiciars have been making it impossible for them to move forward. The party can either agree to help him or attack him outright. Balthazar can be convinced to offer help in the form of a bell that summons his brother, [[Flesh]]. | ||

The Soft-Step Trial is a stealth trial. There are two [[Shadow]]s patrolling a small maze, which must be stealthily navigated to get to the Umbral Gem. Only one character needs to successfully reach the end of the room to complete the trial. If a character is detected, all characters are teleported back to the start of the maze. The entire maze is heavily obscured, requiring the participating character to pass a {{Ability check|Stealth|10}} whenever hiding in the Shadow's sightline to pass undetected, or to use [[Invisibility]] (a [[Scroll of Invisibility]] can be found on a skeleton at {{Coords|-775|-767}}). | The Soft-Step Trial is a stealth trial.

The final gate can also lockpicked with a {{SkillCheck|Sleight of Hand|10}}, or bypassed entirely with a teleporting movement spell like {{SAI|Misty Step}} (a {{RarityItem|Scroll of Misty Step}} can be found on a skeleton at {{Coords|-807|-762}}). | ||

Along the corridor to the north from the Soft-Step Trial is a door with a plaque that says "''Her Most Hallowed Mercy''".

These copies have the same abilities and gear as the real thing, and cannot be restrained or shoved. If a character attacks a copy of a different party member while their own copy is still alive, they will receive a stack of {{Cond|Cheater's Folly}}, reducing all [[Ability Score]]s by 1 until [[Remove Curse]] is used or the party takes a long rest. The debuff stacks up to four times. Once a party member's copy is dead, they can freely attack the other copies with no debuff incurred. | ||
Only party members that are within the trial room will be copied into reflections and entered into the trial. Placing additional party members outside the room and trying to sneak them through by opening the door later will forfeit the trial; however, this can be bypassed if ''there is no door''. Destroying the {{Cond|Sturdy}} door and sneaking in additional party members after the fact can allow the trial to be trivialized by a single character. | |||
Once all the shadow copies are defeated, one of them will drop an Umbral Gem to be looted, and the transporter on the upper level of the room will activate to give a shortcut back to the entrance. The [[Killer's Sweetheart]] can be found on the top level. | Once all the shadow copies are defeated, one of them will drop an Umbral Gem to be looted, and the transporter on the upper level of the room will activate to give a shortcut back to the entrance.
