Successfully navigating the Fourth AQL Trial demands careful preparation due to significant ascents. Prioritize hydration reserves and consider equipping a Suspension Belt in Dune: Awakening to mitigate fall-related risks.

Locating the Starting Point

The trial begins at a massive rock formation resembling a hammer within Vermillius Gap’s second sector. Navigate to this landmark’s base before initiating your vertical journey.

Rope markers along the ascent confirm proper route alignment. During the climb, investigate deceased explorers to acquire rare gear such as Holtzman Shields. Upon reaching the summit, activate the spectral recording device near the luminous overhead aperture before proceeding upward to the ritual platform.

Navigating Altered Reality

Initiation of the trial transports players to an illusory battleground with respawn safeguards. Progress through initial corridors triggers discovery of a levitating blade – collect it to activate combat sequences.

Adversaries materialize in waves, requiring precise parrying to create attack opportunities. Tactical eliminations prompt escalating enemy reinforcements until eventual defeat triggers narrative progression. Post-death sequences grant temporary Spice Enhancement, unlocking devastating combat techniques.

Enhanced capabilities during spice trance enable instant takedowns via standard strikes or special maneuvers. Monitor the diminishing spice reserve displayed through ocular luminescence, prioritizing rapid enemy clearance before power depletion.

Trial Conclusion

Return to the ceremonial platform post-combat to witness mandatory narrative exposition. This linear sequence finalizes AQL’s Fourth Trial upon completion of dialogue interactions.
