| Location Description | |
| The trial area is surrounded by trees. There is a body of water on lower ground nearby. | |
| Trial Type | |
|---|---|
| Burning Pyres | |
| Steps | |
| 1 | Find all three pyres with the help of Revelio. If a pyre is blocked by a removable obstacle, clear those first. If there are enemies nearby you, defeat them first so the spell cooldown doesn't trigger. |
| 2 | Find a spot between the three pyres where you will be able to shoot Confringo in quick succession. |
| 3 | Shoot the three pyres in quick succession, before the pillars sink into the ground within a few seconds. You will need to move around a bit to shoot the pyres since there's no spot where you can shoot them all without moving. |
| Pyre Locations | |
| 1 |  Behind a tree southeast of the trial platform, behind a flammable spider web. Burn this obstacle away before burning any of the pyres. |
| 2 |  Northwest of the trial platform, on lower ground |
| 3 |  Northeast of the trial platform |

| Butterflies | |
| Steps | |
| 1 | Go near a group of butterflies and then cast Lumos. |
| 2 | Find a pillar with diamond-shaped holes nearby, and lead the butterflies into them. |
| 3 | Find the other butterflies and pillars in the area and do the same until the trial is complete. The pillars can be found with Revelio, but not the butterflies; you may need to fly around the area with your mount to find them. |
| Butterfly Locations | |
| 1 |  South of the trial platform, hidden behind some burnable plants. |
| 2 |  East of the trial platform, inside the watchtower. |
| 3 |  West of the trial platform, behind a pile of rocks. Clear the rocks with Depulso or Confringo. |
