DragonSword Awakening Trial of Mist Void Walkthrough
Updated 2026-07-28
Quick answer
The available released-build guide material places the Trial of Mist Void in the broader Moss Forest Logging Site area. Use the interactive map marker as an orientation aid, not as an exact in-game coordinate.
Once the trial loads, the observable route progresses through three strong landmarks:
- follow the narrow rail-like suspended walkway toward the ruined platform between two broken columns;
- inspect the square central platform, including the cyan floor device and the prominent dark-blue trial object ahead;
- continue into the larger circular mist-covered structure and check the connected right-hand platform when the objective points away from the center.
Do not treat the turquoise space around the ruins as normal walkable ground. The captured route is made of narrow bridges, isolated platforms and open gaps. Keep the active objective selected, wait for each platform state to update and confirm the next solid connection before moving.
The source video could not be played continuously because YouTube required bot verification. This walkthrough therefore uses the published video identity, its map thumbnail and three chronological storyboard frames. It does not invent an exact switch order, enemy count, reward or turn-by-turn sequence that those frames do not show.
Trial of Mist route at a glance
| Route state | Visible landmark | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Entrance approach | Moss Forest Logging Site on the map thumbnail | use the marker as a broad association rather than a coordinate |
| First void crossing | narrow rail-like walkway over cyan mist | continue straight to the platform framed by broken columns |
| Central platform | cyan floor device, dark-blue trial object and small red/pink objects | inspect the current platform before attempting a distant jump |
| Main structure | circular glowing or mist-covered central dais | let the objective update after reaching the central area |
| Side connection | short bridge to the right-hand rectangular platform | use only when the active marker or available route points there |
This page owns the named Trial of Mist Void route. The map quests and puzzle guide keeps ownership of the general Platform Puzzle, Slide Puzzle, Area Quest and Sudden Mission catalog.
Where the Trial of Mist Void is shown
The community source is a post-release ZaFrostPet guide titled “Trial of Mist Void WALKTHROUGH Dragon Sword Awakening.” Its published thumbnail displays the world map and associates the guide with the Moss Forest Logging Site label.
The thumbnail also shows a yellow triangular pointer close to a blue map symbol, with a white diamond farther to the southeast in image space. There is no legend in the screenshot, so this guide does not claim which icon is the player, trial entrance or objective.
Use a safe approach:
- open the Trial of Mist marker;
- compare the marker with Moss Forest Logging Site and the nearby water system;
- keep the relevant local quest or activity selected in game;
- use the in-game objective marker for the final approach;
- treat the site marker as approximate until the entrance is independently route-checked.
The site’s overlay coordinates are screenshot-aligned percentages. They are not game coordinates and should not be copied into a route note as if the game exposed an X/Y system.
Cross the first suspended walkway
The earliest sampled gameplay frame shows the party on a narrow bridge above a bright cyan void. The surface resembles two long rails or beams joined by repeated cross-pieces. Open space borders both sides, and the bridge leads directly toward a ruined platform framed by two tall broken columns.
At this state:
- follow the only clearly connected forward surface;
- keep the camera aligned with the walkway;
- avoid cutting toward detached ruins on either side;
- aim for the platform between the columns;
- check that the party has fully landed before changing direction.
The frame does not show a branch before the platform. Floating architectural fragments are visible around the route, but their presence does not prove that they are reachable.
If the route appears to end early, rotate the camera enough to distinguish the real bridge from background ruins. Do not jump toward a structure merely because it appears close through the fog.
Inspect the square central platform
The middle sampled frame places the player on a square stone platform surrounded by the cyan void. Several features are visible:
- a cyan-glowing floor device or tile near the player;
- a prominent dark-blue object or trial mechanism ahead;
- small red or pink objects around the forward portion of the platform;
- a railing along the far edge;
- another platform to the right across an open gap;
- an objective indicator pointing generally forward-right.
The frame does not prove which object must be used first. A safe progression check is therefore:
- finish any active combat or movement state;
- approach the objective-recognized object on the current platform;
- check the cyan floor device and the central dark-blue object before leaving;
- wait for animation, dialogue or the objective marker to change;
- move toward the right only after a solid connection or required traversal becomes clear.
Do not publish a universal button prompt. Keyboard, controller and platform prompts may differ, and no readable interaction label is preserved in the captured frame.
Continue through the circular mist platform
The later storyboard frame shows a larger ruined structure built around a circular cyan-white area. The character is positioned on or near this central dais. Broken walls and columns enclose the upper side, a broad stone approach extends toward the foreground and a short constructed connection leads to a rectangular platform on the right.
Use the layout rather than a guessed compass direction:
- recognize the circular glowing area as the central landmark;
- check whether the current objective completes or redirects there;
- inspect the short bridge leading to the right-hand platform;
- avoid detached stones that have no visible connection;
- proceed only across surfaces that are clearly part of the ruin.
The sampled frame confirms that the right-hand platform is connected to the main structure. It does not prove whether that bridge is always the immediate next step, whether a mechanism must be activated first or whether the trial can change state.
How to tell whether the trial advanced
Use several signals together:
- the objective indicator moves away from the current platform;
- a floor device, central object or environmental effect changes state;
- a previously irrelevant connection becomes the clear route;
- the party reaches the larger circular structure;
- the trial provides an exit, completion message or new objective.
A single glowing object is not enough to claim completion. Wait for the game’s objective state rather than relying on a screenshot resemblance.
Trial of Mist troubleshooting
The map marker is close, but I cannot find the entrance
Use Moss Forest Logging Site only as the broad location association. Keep the local activity selected and compare elevation, water and nearby paths in the current build. The marker remains approximate.
I am standing on the first bridge with no obvious turn
Continue toward the ruined platform between the two broken columns. The sampled frame shows no supported branch before that platform.
I reached the square platform and the objective did not move
Inspect the current platform before attempting the right-side gap. The captured state includes a cyan floor device, a dark-blue central object and small red/pink objects near the forward section.
I can see floating ruins but cannot reach them
Not every visible ruin is confirmed as traversable. Follow constructed bridges and objective-recognized surfaces rather than jumping toward background architecture.
I reached the circular platform
Let the objective update, then check the short bridge to the right-hand platform. The frame proves that connection exists but not that it is always usable immediately.
Is there an exact puzzle sequence?
Not in the accessible evidence. Continuous video playback and readable prompts were unavailable, so this page does not claim a switch order, timing window or platform sequence that cannot be observed.

Evidence boundary
The article uses four evidence layers:
- the game’s public achievement list confirms that puzzle mini-games exist, but does not name this trial or provide its solution;
- the ZaFrostPet Reddit post and YouTube oEmbed metadata establish the guide title, author and post-release video identity;
- the YouTube thumbnail associates the Trial of Mist Void with Moss Forest Logging Site;
- three chronological YouTube storyboard thumbnails show the suspended rail walkway, square mechanism platform, circular central structure and connected right-hand platform.
YouTube playback and captions were blocked by a verification wall. The frames do not preserve exact prompts, enemy types, route timing, failure conditions, rewards, coordinates or a complete interaction order. The interactive-map point is approximate and not an in-game coordinate.
