| Enemy Groups | |
The Underground Trial is the fourth Incarnate Trial, released with Issue 21: Convergence, which takes place in First Ward, Praetoria. A maximum of 24 players can raid the Underground. Chronologically, this trial takes place 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 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.
