| 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 |
