Revision - trial of aether - Alabaster Dawn Wiki

The Trial of Aether is the first dungeon in Alabaster Dawn, located in Koro Valley. Its route passes through the Hall of Trials at Remis Rock and continues to Remis Peak. Aether is unlocked in the first section; the full Early Access route continues through a second section before the Rana Lingua Magna fight.

The demo portion of the Trial was divided into two floors. The first floor is a small network of puzzle rooms that loops back on itself. The second has an enemy gauntlet and the Aether unlock chamber where the demo ended. The following map list records that earlier portion:

A1, A2, A3, A4, A5: first floor.
B1, B2: second floor.

The Trial has two parts separated by an outdoor stretch at Remis Rock. The early demo covered only the first part, ending around the Aether unlock; the playable Early Access route continues through the second half to Remis Peak and Rana Lingua Magna, then toward the Aurum Plains. The earlier map and treasure list preserves the documented demo portion.

Treasures

Contents	Map	Notes
Whisper of the Gods x3	A1	Open chest.
Trial Mark	A2	Reached after completing A4.
Libra's Blessing	A2	Reached from the west side of A5.

Community guides also document an optional chest just outside the lower hall's exit, reached by redirecting projectiles through floating rings. It holds a Dirty Quill gem (20% Ranged Attack, 35% Blight).

The earlier documented Trial encounters are scripted. The roster below records that earlier section:

Enemy	Notes
Sphera	Basic encounter chambers.
Arma Sphera	Armored variant; weak to Blunt damage.
Turri	Stationary ranged flower.
Turri Praeva	Stronger version of Turri exclusive to the Trial.
Custo Turri	Shielded flower with a heavy projectile.
Ericius	Spinning bird-class Nuemera.
Rana	Aether-using frog. Weak to Aether but resistant to other elements; first encounter is difficult, later encounters use Aether Aspect Panels for easier matchup.
Testudo	Standard turtle-class Nuemera with Aether attacks.
Testudo Irae	Boss of the earlier documented Trial section. Upgraded Testudo with new attacks and an HP-break threshold; the full Early Access route continues to Rana Lingua Magna at Remis Peak.

The Trial is the setting for Journey up North. Juno and Filia O' Marmis pass through both sections, using Wise Panels for paired puzzles. Aether unlocks in the first section; the Early Access route continues through the upper half to the Nyx Spire guarded by Rana Lingua Magna at Remis Peak.
