Trials

Trials are special quests in the game where the game takes away your items, and give you a temporary inventory until the trial is completed.

The trials in the game include:

  • Trial of the Sword
  • Stranded on Eventide
  • 4 Blight Refights for Champion’s Ballad

Since each trial has a event flow associated with it, it would be too complex to try to simulate every possible interaction with the trials. Therefore, the simulator only provides !trial-start and !trial-end commands to put the inventory in or out of the trial mode.

Syntax

!trial-start
!trial-end

  • Starting a trial will:
    • delete all items except key-items, and set the trial mode flag.
    • re-create equipments in overworld.
  • Leaving the trial will reset the trial flag and reload your items from GDT.
    • Most of the time reload a save to exit the trial should work as expected with no issues.

Most of the time, a single !trial-start or !trial-end is accurate enough and you don’t need to worry about the specific details for each trial. See below if you are in an edge case where the specific event flow matters.

Danger

You should almost always make sure you are in the overworld to start a trial. Starting trial with inventory open is supported but may have unintended results. The simulator will NOT automatically switch the screen for you.

Eventide

When walking on eventide, the held items will be dropped if Arrowless Smuggle is active, or unheld if not. You should handle this manually

# Make sure you are not holding items (hold smuggle is fine)
unhold
# Make sure you are in the overworld to walk onto Eventide
unpause
# Trigger the trial
!trial-start

If you give up the Eventide challenge, there will be a loading screen. However there will NOT be one if you complete the challenge.

!trial-end
!system [loading-screen]

Trial of the Sword

Trial of the sword event is more complicated to simulate correctly:

# Make sure you are not holding items (hold smuggle is fine)
unhold
# The event flow will automatically equip master sword, remove it, then add it back
# This is also not fully accurate
equip master-sword; unpause; !remove master-sword; get master-sword
# enter trial mode
!trial-start
# there's a loading screen that sends you to TOTS map
!system [loading-screen]

Leaving TOTS:

# First end the trial and go through the loading screen
!trial-end
!system [loading-screen]
# The game automatically gives you a master sword
get master-sword
# If All 3 trials are completed, set the MS full power flag
!set-gdt <Open_MasterSword_FullPower>[bool=true]
