Afterimage Wiki

Those Souls, fallen yet still formidable, are now gathered in the Sea and sparkle like stars in the cosmos. The gate is now open for brave challengers... are you ready to accept the trail and prove your strength?

The Trial of Soul is an extra game mode where the player will be able to challenge any boss or boss combinations from Game Mode.

How to unlock?[]

The player must defeat the boss “???” in Rainbow Plains. After this, a new button will be available in the menu.

Characters[]

Upon entering Trial of Soul, the player may chose from 3 characters: Renee, 42 or Karsa. Each of them offer an unique playstyle and a new challenge. The statistics from playing one character do not transfer to the others, so the player can attempt the trial with all of them.

Renee[]

Renee, alongside Ifree, is the main character of the main game. In this mode, Renee will be able to choose various builds with limited and re-balanced equipment, listed bellow. She will also have the talent tree maxed-out, almost all of the Afterimages available with 6 divine seeds, all the weapon arts, the Mysterious Mask and Rebirth, the Spiral Return primeval glyph in inventory. She will have level 99, with 13 heals.


As equipment, Renee can choose from 8 blades, 8 whips, 8 dualblades, 8 greatswords, 8 scythes and 9 swords. For the magic weapons, she has 3 wands, 6 staffs, 3 scrolls and 6 spellbooks. For armor, she has 8 pieces for each head chest and feet and 47 accessories.




42[]

That silent guy? Don't worry about her, she is able to open the door to get here, she must be super powerful! I just don't quite understand why she would want to come to a place like this...

42 is the main character of the New Game +. She will use powerful Crystalization Spells to defeat the enemies, without having access to equipment or talents, similar to New Game +.




Karsa[]

This place seems quite mysterious, probably hiding a lot of interesting treasures! Brenda, are you ready for this brand new adventure?

Karsa, alongside Brenda, can be encountered first in the main game, where they will try to find a treasure. In Trial of Soul, the player will have access to special combos, without being able to change his equipment. When first entering the trial with Karsa, the combos will be displayed automatically and can be revisited from the menu.

List of combos:

Name Description
Rapid Slash Karsa performs consecutively attacks up to 3 times. While in Flowing Stance, this skill will be enchanced
