Trial of the Elders is a mini-dungeon within Dragon's End. Conquering the eight rooms of the Luxon trials that have been corrupted by the Void awards the Mysteries Deep Within achievement.

Getting there

The mini-dungeon entrance is located within the  Sanctuary of Ione — . The nearest waypoint is  Frozen Sea Waypoint — . Interact with the Grate to enter a chamber beneath the point of interest. Follow the tunnels west to a room containing an Ancient Teleporter, and interact with it to enter the trials. The Jade Bot mastery Energy Efficiency is required to use the Ancient Teleporter.

Walkthrough

At the end of the entrance path, you will find a Luxon Monk standing by an Ancient Teleporter. The Luxon Spirit will address you from afar, instructing you on the trials to come. Interact with the Ancient Teleporter to begin. The Ancient Teleporter leads to a series of eight rooms, connected by further teleporters: Rose Room Phoenix Room Room of Reflection Room of Spirits Jasmine Room Room of the Peacock Room of the Koi Room of the Serpent Each room you enter will inflict a stack of  Elder's Plight, reducing your outgoing damage by 5% per stack. This will start with 1 stack in the first room, and reach a maximum of 8 stacks in the final room, for a 40% damage reduction. In each room you enter, Defeat the Void infecting the chamber (80) will begin, and must be completed before the teleporter to the next room will activate. The number of enemies spawned in the event increases with each room. In the final room, a random Elite Void enemy is guaranteed to spawn, and may be upscaled to a Champion if enough players are present. As soon as you complete the final room, you will receive the reward. Take the final teleporter to see the Luxon Spirit in person, who will thank you for your efforts. This will place you at  Archemorus's Solitude — . Gallery A map of all the rooms, labelled in the order they are entered.

Dialogue

On reaching the entrance chamber where the Luxon Monk awaits by the Ancient Teleporter

Luxon Monk: You nearly frightened me to death! But I'm thankful you're here to help us.

Luxon Spirit: Before you lies the Trial of the Elders, but it's been corrupted by Void!

Luxon Monk: Is...is the great spirit talking to you?

Luxon Spirit: We have watched you, warrior—your courage in the face of Void onslaughts. Please, help us!

Luxon Spirit: You will be familiar with these. They'll help you move between rooms as you clear the Void. (If able to activate the teleporter)

Luxon Spirit: Hmm, it seems you are not as familiar with these as I thought. Please return once you are. (if unable to activate the teleporter)

Luxon Monk: She's speaking to you, isn't she. So unfair. I'm the only monk here, and she never talks to me.

On entering the first room

Luxon Spirit: This is the Rose Room. From here on, each room will become more dangerous than the last.

On entering the second room

Luxon Spirit: The Phoenix Room. See how Void has made a mockery of our ancient trial.

On entering the third room

Luxon Spirit: You have entered the Room of Reflection. I feared the Void would destroy it all, but you give me hope.

On entering the fourth room

Luxon Spirit: Now you are in the Room of Spirits—halfway to the end. Please, keep ridding this sacred place of Void.

On entering the fifth room

Luxon Spirit: The Jasmine Room...it was my favorite before Void took over. Your courage will be remembered...and rewarded.

On entering the sixth room

Luxon Spirit: The Room of the Peacock, laid waste by the Void. Ready yourself, the rooms are truly deadly from here.

On entering the seventh room

Luxon Spirit: The Room of the Koi, once so peaceful. And after, one more room until victory!

On entering the final room

Luxon Spirit: The Room of the Serpent! Look out! Fight it... Please...restore our temple once more.

Occasionally after defeating the elite void enemy

Luxon Spirit: Please return soon. The Void never stops, and next time I fear...all may be lost.

On exiting the final room and meeting the Luxon Spirit

Luxon Spirit: I won't forget this. The Trial of the Elders is restored, and all the spirits thank you.

Luxon Spirit: I leave you this, a reward for warriors!

Notes

Anomaly:

If someone enters the eighth room when either of its events are active and then don't gain credit for the killing of the final enemy they will not receive the final reward of the Magnificent Chest, and will have to start the Trial all over again to gain it.

• Each room counts as an event for the Map bonus reward, each room does not however count as an event towards the  Dragon's End Contributor boon.
• Previously the enemies encountered within didn't grant progress towards achievements or Wizard's Vault objectives that requires kill as they don't grant any experience, but they do now (except for the "Defeat 10 enemies in Cantha" objective). ^{[verification requested]}
• The mini-dungeon reward is granted as soon as the final room is completed, but the Luxon Spirit will only congratulate you once you exit the room and meet her.
• Using the Ancient Teleporter requires the Energy Efficiency mastery in the Jade Bots mastery track, but a jade bot Power Core doesn't need to be equipped.
• Whenever a new player enters a room, the associated event will start again if it's not already running.
  • This applies even to players who already completed the mini-dungeon on a given day.
  • If another player enters a room where an event is in-progress the event will extend slightly, requiring the players to wait for another 1 or 2 enemies to spawn.
• Prior to the March 15th 2022 patch, the achievement required the last creature to be of champion rank, therefore a minimum of 5 other players were needed to scale the mini-dungeon. ^{[verification requested]}
• Previously access to the mini-dungeon required successful completion of Battle for the Jade Sea, but that is no longer the case. ^{[verification requested]}
