Any MMORPG worth its salt must have an expansive world with plenty of quests and other activities to keep its sizable player base occupied. That's certainly true of Lost Ark. This game always gives players something to shoot for, whether's that's teaming up with friends to slay monsters, conquering Abyssal Dungeons, or grinding for the best new set of gear.

Quests in Lost Ark are scattered all over the world, with many requiring the player to sail to a particular island just to begin them. The End of the Trials is one such quest, and while it's far from one of the most difficult in the game, players who don't know the steps required for its completion may find themselves stuck and unsure how to progress. Here's everything the player needs to know to finish the quest.

The Prerequisite Quest

Lost Ark - Bamboo Island

Games like Lost Ark love to create quest chains like this one. Most quests in Lost Ark require the player to complete another objective as a prerequisite for undertaking them. In the case of End of the Trials, the player must complete another quest (Shandi's Trial: Way of Courage) before they may begin. Once the player has finished Shandi's Trial: Way of Courage, there their next quest can begin. The good news is that the completion of Shandi's Trial is the only prerequisite for beginning this quest.

The bad news is that Shandi's Trial is far more difficult and complicated than End of the Trials, requiring the player to defeat the Illusion of Temerity and Resurrected Illusion of Temerity. There are certainly harder battles in the game, but considering the player needs to complete two battles to finish the prerequisite quest and none to finish the End of the Trials itself, it's worth noting.

During Shandi's Trial, the player will collect a Bamboo Twig, which will prove essential for completing End of the Trials. From here, it's just a few more steps before the player can finish the quest and go back to farming Harmony Shards.

Accepting The Quest

End of the Trials isn't complicated compared to some of Lost Ark's other, more arduous quests, such as clearing the Oreha Preveza Abyssal Dungeon, but there are still a number of steps that must be completed in a precise order to finish the quest. First, the player must make the journey to Illusion Bamboo Island in the southwest corner of the world.

Upon arriving at the island, the player must travel to the south-central portion of the island where they will find Zinnervale, marked as 1 on the map. This NPC might not be one of the best to use rapport items on, but at least in this instance he's useful. By speaking with Zinnervale, the player will receive the End of Trials quest.

After speaking with Zinnervale, the player must walk west through the bamboo stalks until they arrive at the barrier shrine, marked as 2 on the map. Fortunately, it isn't far from Zinnnervale, nor is it difficult to find. It's time for the Bamboo Twig that the player obtained during Shandi's Trial to shine. The player must now place that item on the barrier stone. A cutscene will play, and the End of Trials will be completed, an act almost as easy as buying Chaos Shards.

Lost Ark is available now on PC.
