PoE challenge: Complete a Labyrinth Trial. The Lower Prison, Act 1, contains spike traps.
Completing a Labyrinth Trial in Path of Exile is a straightforward process, but here's a detailed guide to ensure you don't miss anything:
Finding a Labyrinth Trial:
Location: Labyrinth Trials are scattered throughout the campaign (Acts 1-10). You'll find them by exploring zones and looking for a small book icon on your minimap.
Entrance: Head towards the location marked by the book icon. You'll find a small chamber with an altar and a plaque in front of it.
Activate the Trial: Click on the plaque to activate the trial. Izaro, the boss of the Labyrinth, will appear and deliver a short message explaining the trial's objective.
Completing the Trial:
Each Labyrinth Trial has a unique objective. Here are some common types of trials:
Tips for Success:
Rewards:
After successfully completing the trial, you'll receive a message and potentially some minor rewards like currency or divination cards. The main reward, however, is unlocking access to the Labyrinth itself.
Important Notes:
By following these steps and keeping the tips in mind, you should be able to conquer Labyrinth Trials in Path of Exile with ease.
Cleaver traps are typically on narrow corridor paths, attached to the side. They consist of a large blade and wooden holding mechanism, and the blade slams down onto the corridor path every few seconds. They deal high amounts of physical damage on hit and apply a strong bleeding effect. Carefully time the blades and get through safely.
Spike traps shoot out of the ground in a square area, either via a timer or when its pressure plate is stepped on, taking 1/4 of the player’s effective hitpoints (including life pool and energy shield pool), apply bleeding, and locking them in place. Spike traps are impassable and block movement while they are out.
Sawblades run along a straight path, dealing a very large amount of physical damage over time on contact, enough to kill the player after one second of full contact. Sawblades can often be switched on and off with nearby levers.
Spinning blades follow a set path along the ground and deals a very large amount of physical damage over time, enough to kill the player after one second of full contact. Unlike sawblades, their paths go diagonally or take a turn. They can sometimes be diverted from one track to another by using activating levers.
Furnace traps periodically heat the floor with lava, dealing burning damage while standing over them, enough to kill the player after roughly four seconds (supposing the player has 75% fire resistance). Furnaces are often filled with cremators that spawn fire skeletons. These enemies do not take damage from the furnace.
Blade sentries are very wide traps that move along set paths (either on the ground or flying above obstacles), dealing heavy physical damage over time, enough to kill the player after one second of full contact. They deal more damage the closer you are to the center.
Dart traps are fixed on a wall or pillar, firing projectile periodically or when a hidden pressure plate is stepped on. They deal physical damage on hit and apply poison, as well as greatly slowing the player’s movement speed.
Sentinel traps apply one of many effects to an area. Sentinel traps can be temporarily deactivated by dealing damage to them. They only appear in the endgame Labyrinth and in trials to endgame Labyrinth.
There are several variations of Sentinel Traps:
Sentinel traps are showcased in the endgame trials, which can randomly be found in maps.
A tile puzzle room will be opened by stepping on three tiles in sequence in front of it. The sequence of the tiles outside will then need to be used to cross a grid of tiles to the reward. For example, if it has Fire, Lightning, Ice outside, then you must step in tiles in that order: Fire, Lightning, Ice, Fire, Lightning, Ice, etc. Crossing all the way will open the door to the reward. Stepping on an incorrect tile triggers a dart trap and resets the puzzle sequence.
Argus is a boss monster found in the Merciless and Eternal Labyrinth. His location is constant within a given layout. Argus drops a Treasure Key on death.
Various other traps appear in the Labyrinth, such as vertically moving spinning blades (often guarding an entrance) and others.
