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. It is recommended to target the taller pillars first, since they sink longer than the shorter ones.
Pyre Locations
1	Near the trial platform, southeast
2	On lower ground east of the trial platform
3	Behind some flammable plants northeast of the second pyre

Cubes with Symbols
Steps
1	Choose a side of a pillar, then flip the cube with Flipendo until you see the matching symbol.
2	If it doesn't show up after three flips, then the symbol is at the sides; go to the side to the left or right and flip it once. Then go back to the original side and do the step above again.
3	Once you have matched the symbol on one side, it's likely that it's not rotated correctly yet. Go to the side to the left or right and use Flipendo until you correct this side and complete the puzzle.
