BG3: How To Complete Self Same Trail
In the Self-Same Trial, your party will face mirror versions of themselves with identical abilities. The number of counterparts you face will depend on your party size. For example, you will meet two companions if two members are in your party.
To begin the trial, head north from the Gauntlet of Shar waypoint to a hallway and proceed to the second room. You can start the trial by performing a ritual at the sacrificial bowl. Shadowheart is recommended to perform this ritual.
Your counterparts will have an advantage as they are on high ground, but you can use dash or spells to fly up and level the playing field. You can also alter the terrain conditions to your advantage.
To win this trial, you can identify your party’s weaknesses and use the same attacks on your counterparts. Alternatively, you can avoid their line of sight and sneak up on them from behind. Hiding to observe the areas under their observation will often surprise them, giving you an edge in the fight.
Attacking a teammate’s counterpart will incur a penalty called Cheater’s Folly, significantly reducing your abilities. Therefore, it is recommended that each character should only attack their mirror selves.
Sending in your strongest fighter to defeat the weaker mirror enemies quickly may seem advantageous, but it will result in additional penalties. Each time a character attacks a different mirror enemy, they will receive Cheater’s Folly, reducing their abilities by one until they rest.
