# Elutherian Trials

WIP

## Overview

The Elutherian Trials is an alternate gamemode, accessed in [Durennel City](https://bluesod.gitbook.io/soulblaze-gdd/towns/durennel-city) or in the main menu by unlocking it via the previous method. The player must complete certain tasks as quickly as possible, such as making it to the end of a course as fast as possible or defeating a number of enemies. As the player progresses, these become more difficult with more interesting stipulations, and all award various rewards such as Elits, Experience, or even exclusive [equipment](https://bluesod.gitbook.io/soulblaze-gdd/planned-features-and-mechanics/equipment) and [Trinkets](https://bluesod.gitbook.io/soulblaze-gdd/planned-features-and-mechanics/equipment/trinkets).

Every Trial will have a rank, ranging from E to A, like [combat ratings](https://bluesod.gitbook.io/soulblaze-gdd/planned-features-and-mechanics/miscellaneous/combat-rating). (As a matter of fact, combat-based Trials have their rank based off the player's combat rating.) Each Trial also has a bonus challenge that must be completed (in addition to getting an A) to achieve an S rank.
