Trial of the Astrolabe acts as a new endgame mode that players can challenge themselves using their entire roster of Phantom Thieves.

Like the Velvet Trials and Trials from the Sea of Souls, it can be accessed anytime as an additional game mode.

How to Play Trials of the Astrolabe

13 Different Nodes that Reset Weekly

Every week, there will be 13 different battles that players can clear, and each one is harder than the last with stronger and higher-leveled enemies.

There are only a limited amount of times you can fight each Quest, so have your team be the best version of themselves with Weapons, Skills and Revelation Cards all leveled up as high as they can be.

Colored Nodes are Harder

Certain nodes within the Trials are colored differently, and it is hinted that these are more challenging fights that might cause a number of attempts. Bring oyur absolute best team that can deal with the conditions before going into these fights!

All Phantom Thieves Will Consume Willpower

P5 Phantom X - Characters and Willpower in Trials of the Astrolabe

Each Phantom Thief now has a counter above their head called Willpower, and it signifies how many times a player can use that character. Once that counter reaches 0, they are out of commission for the rest of the weekly challenge.

Each Fight has Special Conditions

P5 Phantom X - Trials of the Astrolabe Game Mode

Players can look at the conditions for each fight before starting the Trial of the Astrolabe. This gives you ample time to prepare ahead on your team compositions and who to consider as alternatives if the best picks are unavailable or at risk of being downed for the rest of the challenge.

Damage Carries Over

Whatever damage the Phantom Thieves received during their last battle will be carried over to the next time they are used in later nodes. Take in mind their current HP when you bring over a character used in previous battles!
