  • The Trial of the Fool is the third and final trial in the Colosseum of Fools. This video will guide you all of the enemies and how to beat each round step by step.
    The Coliseum of Fools can be found in the North most part of Kingdom's Edge. Once you enter the the Coliseum you will need to pay 800 geo to start the trial.
    If you have been having trouble with the trial and feel like you need some upgrades, check out this playlist:

    Suggested Charms:
    Soul Catcher
    Shaman stone
    Quick slash
    Mark of pride or long nail
    You will likely not have enough charm slots for all the above charms OR you may be missing some charms. If that is the case the below are other great charms:
    Long Sail
    Nailmaster's Glory
    Spore Shroom
    Thorns of Agony
    The whole time you play you need to really focus on how much health you have left. you will learn where all the enemies come from and when you are able to heal over time. Every time you fail is just another chance to learn. Stick with the fight, stay calm and you will be able to get it.

      Yeah everyone is going to have a preferred playstyle which should be taken into consideration when thinking of charm builds. I know I enjoy the grubsong/weaversong combo to make sure I've got plenty of soul to use myself. Sharp shadow is a pretty good idea for the no floor, aerial fighting bit though. May have to try it out to see how I like it because that is definitely the hardest part for me and probably most players considering the lack of healing that can be done.

    After 133 hours of play time, I finally beat the Trial of the Fool! The toughest part of the whole thing for me was around 9:20 where the masked ooblets come out, I was stuck on that part for days on end. What really helped me with that part was dashing using Sharp Shadow through the ones that get caught in the top corners.

    Helpful breakdown. I would add that shaman stone really helps with the spike pit as you can take out multiple enemies with shade soul from the wall. That charm also makes it easier to beat the God Tamer with descending dark. Farm soul from the shielded fool in the final wave before the boss, then just mash the beast with DD and quick slashes. I also used long nail, nailmaster’s glory and steady body. Took me a ton of hours over a couple days but what an achievement!

    As someone who can one shot almost every boss on every one of my dozen-plus playthroughs of this game since 2017-this and NKG still hard-wall me completely. I'd say I've put over 50 hours into trial of the fool alone and can count on one hand how many times I've made it past the infamous floor-is-spikes part-and all of the attempts that did make it did so with so little health left that I was doomed to insta-die with the enemy spam afterwards. The lack of any time to heal right after that spike-floor part finally ends before the arena becomes littered with enemies is infuriating beyond what words can convey.

    I had serious issues with the Trial of the Fool until I used roughly this charm setup: Hiveblood (lets you heal on the spike floor section), Glowing Womb (to deal damage from a distance), Weaversong (same as Glowing womb), Grubsong (to combo with weaversong, feeding soul to Glowing Womb), and any other two charm notches worth of charms you want. I used Sprintmaster and Nailmaster's Glory.

    • @garrettv.g.1758

      So, a note: Defender's crest does NOT make glowing womb stronger, it takes away 5 contact damage and replaces it with a cloud that does 5-4 damage. It's a downgrade, and a waste of charm notches. It's only used for meme builds. Unfortunately, I did not know this early-game and wasted my at-the-time-precious charm notches. Don't use it for this build!

    Additional tips:
    - If you see a Shielded Fool, leave him to kill for last. They're extremely easy to Dream Nail and farm Soul on (and fortunately, one appears right before the God Tamer).
    - If you're having trouble with Winged Fools, simply pogo on them.
    - At 8:32 during the up-down Garpede parkour, Dream Nail their heads once and move on. Like the Shielded Fools, this is a reliable way to stack up on Soul again.
    - If you're having trouble at the "box" phase, equip a Dreamshield. With a Pure Nail, you'll be able to kill most enemies off with only a single hit without the trouble of charging up a Great Slash and potentially falling down into the spikes below.

    Charms I would reccomend:
    Shape Of Unn
    Quick Slash
    Shaman Stone
    Spell Twister
    Unbreakable Strength
    Mark Of Pride, Longnail
    Charms I might reccomend:
    Dreamshield
    Quick Focus
    Deep Focus
    Fury Of The Fallen
    Grubsong
    Hiveblood
    Charms I don’t reccomend:
    Grimmchild
    Glowing Womb
    Weaversong
    Heavy Blow
    The reason I do not reccomend the minion charms is because when you are trying to heal, they will attack your enemy and send a new wave. Heavy Blow I don’t reccomend because.. well..

      With the grubsong, weavers, and glowing womb, they can use up your soul while you focus on dodging and hiding, which can be a tempting strategy but takes freaking forever

      Bruh i have 11 charm notches. How will I equip all those?

      I found heavy blow can be useful for creating some additional breathing room for some quick heals or to get to safety. It's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.
      That being said my winning charm combo was: nailmaster's glory, hiveblood, quick focus and longnail

      Nahhh heavy blow is soo useful for me during the spike floor part. When you down pogo the enemy you knock them down further, giving you more time to react and prepare your next move.
      You can also kill the lower enemy in one hit by hitting them into the floor spike

    Yessss I finally beat it, I didn't realize how OP the charged attack was until seeing this video, I managed to one shot those flying mantis guys and the horrible orange flying guys that shoot the 3 projectiles, the last boss got me twice but this morning I just hopped on and hoped for the best and nailed it first try

    Finally beat this after upwards of 50 tries. Practicing with these tips as well as opening Godhome and running some of the pantheons really seemed to help hone some skills too.

    Beat it over a year ago but it’s always fun to see others visit it.
