And to get a Kingmaker, Evan has to prove his worth in the Trials of Knowledge and Power. The Trial of Power is, as you might imagine, a battle. The Trial of Knowledge, on the other hand, is a puzzle.
The puzzle is simple but difficult to master. You’re placed on a game board made up of squares. To complete each section, you have to activate statues around the board in the correct order, sometimes rotating them according to story clues. Glowing orbs are scattered around the board; these are optional, but collecting them all gets you extra loot on completion. The catch? As you pass each block, it falls away behind you.
The trick is to plan out a path that will take you around to all the orbs and all the statues in the correct order.
Having some trouble? We’ve got you covered! Below are the paths you’ll need to follow in the Kingmaker’s Knowledge Trial in order to complete each section and collect all the orbs along the way.
