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}}).

It is possible to visit the maze before starting the trial, if having a character in the party, who is good at lockpicking.

A gate blocks the way to the Umbral Gem. The gate guarding the gem can be unlocked with the {{RarityItem|Soft-Step Trial Key}} in a hidden room of the maze ({{Coords|-803|-760}}). The party can flip a lever at {{Coords|-803|-753}} to unlock this room. The final gate can also be lockpicked with a {{SkillCheck|Sleight of Hand|10}}, or bypassed entirely with a teleporting spell like {{SAI|Misty Step}} (a {{RarityItem|Scroll of Misty Step}} can be found on a skeleton at {{Coords|-807|-762}}).

Once the party has the Gem, a transporter will appear that can be interacted with to teleport any characters to the beginning of the room.

It is also possible to jump across gaps in the path or between platforms, or to use spells such as [[Misty Step]] to skip the trial and go directly to the Umbral Gem. Before patch 6, the path could also be made visible by illumination, using spells like {{SAI|Daylight}} -- such spells will however still remove the magical darkness on the platforms, making it easier to target them when e.g. teleporting.

Once the final platform is reached, looting the Umbral Gem will trigger another teleporter that can bring characters back to the entrance quickly.
