Hero Trials

Hero Trials are a recurring endgame quest. Each day, a new quest will be generated.

Unlock

Beat the first dimension of Endless Multiverse to unlock Hero Trials.

Reward

Completing a hero trial awards the player with a prizebox. It contains several random rewards, which can include

• Cosmetics
• Tokens
• Artifacts
• Emblems

Stages

Hero Trials are 16 Stages long, including both special and regular stages and the final stage containing a Boss. A hero trial on a given calendar date will share the following features for all players:

• All stages (special or regular) will be the same
• All stage mods for each stage will be the same
• The global stage mods will be the same

Anything else will be randomised including loot and stage bosses.

If a player fails their hero trial, they can replay it as many times as they would like, trying again for better loot or a more manageable boss.

Global Mods

Hero trials have a unique feature, a set of "global" mods. These mods will apply to all applicable stages throughout the trial. These mods are reflected in the name of the trial and their effects can be confirmed with the help icon to the right of the trial's name. Trials always appear in the format "[Title]'s [StageOrMod] trial of [Condition] [Mod]" or "[Title]'s [StageOrMod] trial unto the [Title]". As a key:

• Title - does not always appear but is almost certain to. See table below
• Condition - see table below
• Mod - see table below
• StageOrMod - does not always appear but if it does, it will be one of the games normal Mods or the endless mode adjective describing a [[Stages] stage]
  • If it's a mod, that mod will be applied at least once to all stages. It's possible for the same mod to be applied twice
  • If it's an endless adjective, all stages will be that stage

Following "[Condition] [Mod]", the trial may also include "and [Condition] [Mod]" allowing for chained mods. This is uncommon.

There are a number of special prefixes. If a mod affects a number of "things" (like "close x special stages", "spawn x sawblades"), that number will normally be a fixed value for the entire trial. A special prefix changes that number to the number associated with the condition. So for example, Foreclosure will <close 1 random special stage on [Condition]> but Malforeclosure will <close [Number of monsters] special stages on [Condition]>.

So tying it all together, if a trial was Shrimp's Toxic trial of Flawed Chromapain, the player would start with 1 fewer life, all stages would have at least one Toxic mod and making a mistake would harm the player for a value equal to the number of mods on the stage.
