Easy-Step Test

First, you will need to complete the trial. Easy-Step Test. You want to get through the area without being seen by Shadows patrolling.

The Self-Same Test

Just north of the Soft-Step Trial, you’ll find the The Self-Same Test. This one is the most straightforward: You’ll have to defeat yourself (well, yourselves). You’ll have to fight copies of each of the members of your group. One disadvantage is that they all share the same skills.

The following are some of the reasons why you should consider hiring someone else. It is possible to walk along the invisible pathways in the tiled floor pattern.

Take someone from your group and take them to the other side. Umbral Gem.

Clear out all the baddies inside — including The Librarian so you can cast spells again — and then start poking around.
