Risk of Rain 2: How to Enter and Chain the Trials of N’kuhana

Use the Hallowed Concepts content

The Trials belong to Hallowed Concepts, the purchasable expansion whose launch notes include new Trial stages and the N’Tormat. This walkthrough follows the developer’s explanation of the trial system; it does not supply unverified fixed gong coordinates or hidden unlock claims. [1]

Trials are pocket realms entered during a run. Their objectives and rewards differ, so entering one is a choice to take on a particular challenge rather than simply another ordinary stage transition. [2]

Find and ring a trial gong

The developer describes gongs tucked into different stages. Look for the gong while exploring; this source does not promise one at a fixed point in every stage. [2]

Steps

1. Ring a discovered gong to take on its trial. [2]
2. After entering, follow that trial’s objective. Different pocket realms have different objectives and rewards, so do not assume that defeating every enemy is always the completion condition. [2]

Identify what this trial asks you to do

The developer groups trials into Survival, Predation and Mortality. The examples explain why reading the current objective matters: the challenge can demand surviving, hunting a target or racing against time. [2]

Trial of Broken Glass asks you to smash enough lanterns. Search and break the objective objects rather than spending all your time fighting unrelated enemies. [2]

Trial of Infernal Greed instead requires earning a fortune before the timer expires. The required goal comes from the trial, not from a universal lantern count. [2]

Decide whether to spend the remaining shared time

A gong in the reward area lets you chain another trial. The important constraint is that the timer is shared between trials; the next challenge does not represent an unlimited fresh time budget. [2]

Steps

1. Check the time you have left before choosing another trial. [2]
2. If you want to continue the chain, ring the reward-area gong. [2]

Understand the page reward and boss-rush deadline

Trial rewards include the right to a page of the N’tormat, growing the collection of its powers. This is the developer’s stated reward route; the guide does not invent a guaranteed page selection or an unlimited number of uses. [2]

Soulbound Threshold is the boss-rush trial: waves of enemies and bosses must be defeated in three minutes to return to the run with the collected power. Treat that explicit deadline separately from an ordinary stage clear. [2]
