| 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. For this trial, on higher ground beside the tree east of the trial platform is a good spot. |
| 3 | Shoot the three pyres in quick succession, before the pillars sink into the ground within a few seconds. It is recommended to target the taller pillars first, since they sink longer than the shorter ones. |
| Pyre Locations | |
| 1 |  Southeast of the trial platform |
| 2 |  North of the trial platform |
| 3 |  Northeast of the trial platform, hidden behind some stacked stones |
