Trial of Sesrih
Game:	D&Destiny: Fractures
Campaign:	The Deep
Player(s):	3 (minimum)
Location:	Bay of Nessius, Sainus
Objective(s):	The party seeking guidance from Meir’s greatest Teacher seeks her out but are asked to test their might against the trial first then they will talk.

Trial of Sesrih is a guardian-initiated activity that can be triggered as a Public Event on Sainus, where a team of Guardians defends a series of towers against waves of Hive. There are seven waves of increasing difficulty before teams can engage a final boss and end the event.

Overview

Found in the Bay of Nessius of Sainus, participants must trigger the Trial event by approaching and interacting with the first tower plate. The tower will extend, and the event will begin. The participants must then eliminate seven progressively harder waves of Hive enemies before facing the encounter's boss. After each incursion site the fireteam will have a chance to redeem a reward chest before continuing with the event. Most waves will include the added challenge of having to locate and disable Shadowrifts by standing within them and shooting Void crystals, similarly to the Witches Ritual public event. Certain enemies also drop Hive Cleavers, which participants may then pick up and use against remaining enemies.

Should participants run out of time to complete a wave or complete the final wave, the event will regress to the previous wave and start at that wave when activated for one minute, before resetting to the first wave. Sesrih will warn the participants a few moments before resetting the event. During the Story version of this event, there is no timer.

Trial of Sesrih features five daily-rotating final bosses, each with its own unique gameplay mechanic, similar to the Court of Oryx event from The Taken King.
