The culmination of the Craglorn arc. Expect coordinated movement, serpent-themed encounters, and punishing mechanics that reward disciplined teamwork.

The first no-CP trial and one of ESO’s most coordinated experiences. Alternating light and shadow mechanics, split groups, and strict execution define this Khajiiti temple run.

A Clockwork City gauntlet packed with coordination checks, add control, and boss mechanics that demand awareness from the entire group. A true test of organisation and recovery.

A focused, boss-only trial where groups tackle one, two, or all three Saints depending on difficulty. Precision, survival, and clean execution determine success — small mistakes quickly snowball.
