Your goal in this trial is to pass through it without getting spotted by the patrolling Shadows. It is highly recommended that you use a single party member to get through the area rather than try with your whole party. A high level of stealth or use of invisibility is highly recommended. You will also need to be able to pick locks.

Outside of the Self-Same Trial, head north again and down the stairs. At the bottom, you’ll find a door to the '''Faith-Leap Trial'''.
Outside of the Self-Same Trial door, head north and down the stairs. At the bottom, you’ll find a door to the '''Faith-Leap Trial'''. There is a plaque on the outside of the door that reads "''Her Most Sacred Path''".


This one is less about literal leaping, and more about a leap of faith (in the ''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'' sense). At the altar, switch the camera to Tactical View with '''O'''. The tiled pattern in the floor is a map of invisible paths you can walk to reach the other side.
For this trial it is recommended to use a single character. This trial is about following a hidden path.


Split someone off from your party, and lead them along the route to the far side and claim your '''Umbral Gem'''.
The hidden path is shown on the floor in front of the altar.
 
Use a single party member to navigate the path to the '''Umbral Gem'''.


=== '''The Silent Library and Spear of the Night''' ===
=== '''The Silent Library and Spear of the Night''' ===
The next door to the south is the '''Silent Library''' — so named because there’s a object called '''The Librarian''' in the center of the room casting Silence over the entire room. That means you can’t cast any spells inside.
The next door to the south is to the '''Silent Library'''. Inside this area are a lot of traps.


Clear out all the baddies inside — including The Librarian so you can cast spells again — and then start poking around. You’ll find a lot of traps, a few spell scrolls, and some books that describe the trials, but the most important item you’re after is a book called '''Teachings of Loss: The Nightsinger'''. You’ll find it in the northeast corner of the library on a trapped bookshelf.
In the North East of the library on a bookshelf you need to loot a book called '''Teachings of Loss: The Nightsinger'''.


Head to the west side of the library and lockpick the door there — it’s DC 21, so you’ll need a good '''Sleight of Hand''' skill to get past it. Inside, you’ll find a pedestal called the '''Riddle of the Night''' that asks for an item. Place the '''Teachings of Loss: The Nightsinger''' book inside to open a secret door.

Go through and grab the [[Spear of Night]].

Head back to the pedestal and place one of the '''Umbral Gems''' in the altar. This will unlock a platform that will take you deeper into the Gauntlet.
Go to the pedestal north of the lantern puzzle and place one of the '''Umbral Gems''' on the altar. This will unlock a platform that will take you downwards.
 
At the bottom, you’ll find another altar. Place the remaining three '''Umbral Gems''' on the altar, and a door will open. Inside, you’ll find the '''Verge of the Shadows''' [[waypoint]] and a portal to the [[Shadowfell]].


At the bottom, you’ll find another pedestal and altar. Place the remaining three '''Umbral Gems''', and a door will open. Inside, you’ll find the '''Verge of the Shadows''' waypoint and a portal to the Shadowfell.
Enter the portal and jump downwards to the [[Nightsong]].


Through the portal, use the low gravity to jump all the way down to the bottom. There, you’ll meet '''Ketheric’s Relic''' — the '''Nightsong'''. However the interaction plays out, you’ll receive the '''Moonlight Glaive''' as a reward and finally understand Ketheric Thorm’s immortality. It will also complete Shadowheart’s '''“Chosen of Shar”''' companion quest.
