While reminiscent of its predecessor’s straightforward design, the second AQL Trial presents navigational hurdles rather than complex puzzles. Success hinges on discovering the initial access point through its deceptive terrain.

Entry Point Discovery

Travelers departing from Hagga Basin’s southern reaches will encounter Vermilious Gap after progressing northward. A concealed crevice in the rocky formations serves as the gateway – scale this natural fissure to reveal a climate-controlled cavern protected by sealant barriers.

Trial Mechanisms

The environment features protective checkpoints eliminating permanent failure risks. Locate the Static Compactor tool early in the cavern network – this device employs dual firing modes (secondary aim, primary activation) to manipulate terrain.

Progression Strategies

Initial challenges require neutralizing thermal hazards – disengage flames temporarily using Compactor projectiles to create safe pathways. Subsequent areas contain explosive devices marked with cryptic sigils; disable critical units to dissipate toxic barriers rather than all detonation risks.

The concluding phase demands precision platforming – target vapor formations mid-leap to generate temporary stone pathways. Maintain momentum as these structures decay rapidly, requiring calculated jumps between ephemeral platforms. Successful navigation triggers ceremonial cutscenes denoting trial completion.
