Trial Cards

Trial Cards are another feature of Endless Adventures, complementing Adventure Cards. When a player chooses an Adventure Card during a run of Endless Mode, they are also allowed to select any number, or none, of three randomly selected Trial Cards as well.

Trial Cards act as additional objectives the player must fulfill during their selected Adventure, in addition to the primary one from the given Adventure Card. After defeating the boss of the Adventure, the player will need to resolve the objectives of each Trial Card, in the order in which the Trials were selected. This also results in Trial Cards have two-part story events, once at the beginning of the Adventure, and again at the end.

Success at a Trial Card will provide the player with various rewards (which are mostly random, see lists below), in addition to a number of Endless Points, indicated at the bottom left of the Trial Card's information. Failure will result in various kinds of punishments, though not necessarily death.

Trial Cards, like Adventure Cards, have an ouroboros symbol as part of their illustration. The difficulty level of the card is indicated at the bottom right of the card's information.

### Bugs

* The "XY restricted" trials will remove your equipment for the full duration of the adventures. This includes those needed to hand over (Carneval for weapons or Hubie for Lionel) and if the order puts the restricted one first in the conclusion list, it will work. If the restricted check happens AFTER the handover, you got nothing to hand over, effectively forcing a trial to be incompleteable despite being fulfilled.
