'''The Underground Trial''' is the fourth [[Incarnate Trial]], released with [[Issue 21|Issue 21: Convergence]], which takes place in [[First Ward]], [[Praetoria]]. A maximum of {{red|number?}} players can raid the Underground. Chronologically, this trial takes place {{red|after the [[Keyes Island Reactor Trial]]?}} and concurrently with the content of First Ward.

During the mission, a voice will "radio in" information about your progress. While there is no specific contact (the trial is entered entirely through the [[LFG]] menu), it is possible that your unseen helper is meant to be [[Prometheus]] as he was added in Issue 20 to recruit Incarnate-capable players to wage a war against Emperor Cole and end his quest to become more in-tune with the [[Well of the Furies]].

Both types of [[Incarnate Experience|Incarnate Experience]] are gained towards unlocking the Incarnate Slots.

==In Detail==
'''The Underground Trial''' is an incarnate [[Trial]] that takes place in [[Praetoria]]. Rather than going to anyone for a mission, the players use the [[Team-Up Teleporter]] to find other interested players.

=== Incarnate System ===
* [[Incarnate Thread Component|Incarnate Threads]] drop instead of [[Incarnate Shard Component|Incarnate Shards]]. 
* [[Incarnate Experience|Physical Incarnate & Psychic Incarnate Experience]], which unlock the Alpha, Lore, Destiny, Judgement and Interface Slots if any of those slots are locked.
* Once per 20 hour period, two [[Empyrean Merit]]s will be awarded upon successful completion of the Trial.
** Any successive completion of the Trial within that 20 hour window will instead award an [[Astral Merit]]. This functionality is essentially the Incarnate Trial version of [[Merit Reward#Diminishing Returns|Merit Reward Diminishing Returns]].

* Random Uncommon Components can be awarded for the first time a badge is obtained. A random Rare Component can be awarded for the first time the Master of the Underground badge is obtained. Bonus Astral Merits can be earned multiple times as long as the requirements for the badge are fulfilled, even if you already have the badge.

* An Astral Merit will be awarded for {{red|what?}}
