Complete optional content in Oathsworn Pit by finding and completing the Lodge Leader's Trials.

Seeking Approval is awarded for completing all three secret Trials in Oathsworn Pit on any difficulty. The trials are in their essense boss fights with an additional win condition check upon reducing boss health to zero. If the condition isn't met, the boss restores about 25% health, and the fight continues.

Trial of BloodEdit

Found in the Lodge of the Fist. The entrance is located in a remote cave in the northwestern corner of the map. Inside it, descend to the bottom of the pit and activate Totem of Blood to summon Sluthrug the Bloodied.

Damaging the boss and taking damage will cause Blood blobs to spawn (red ones on the boss side, teal - on players' side). Hostile Blood will be vulnerable to any damage like any enemies. The win condition here is having higher count of friendly Blood.

Trial of ConquestEdit

Found in the Lodge of the Axe. The gate with two unlit braziers in front of it is the entrance. To open it, you need to light up other pair of braziers in the Lodge. One is nearby, another is further down the corridor, closer to Malacath's Eye entrance. Upon unlocking the gate, proceed into the cave and activate Totem of Conquest to summon the Bolg of Wicked Barbs.

The arena has a 5×5 grid of small braziers, glowing white by default. During the battle, players can synergize with braziers to claim them (they turn green). Boss, in turn, will occasionally summon Spirits of Conquest (their number matches number of players in the group) and send them to claim braziers for him (those will turn orange). Target braziers will get a red marker above them. A spirit, if allowed to reach its target, will claim it and all directly adjacent ones - up to 5 at once, so try to put the spirits down and avoid having to claim the lost ground back. The win condition is having claimed larger part of the arena.

Trial of WarEdit

Found in the Lodge of the Forge. The entrance lies in the northwestern corner, in a room where main corridor turns south, leading to the Malacath's Belly. To the north is a seemingly collapsed but passable corridor that leads to the room with the Totem of War and six forges. Use the totem to summon Grubduthag Many-Fates.

During the battle, forges will become active, and in that state can be used to summon a flame atronach to your side. Boss will also try to do that. The win condition here is having larger atronach army, so make sure to keep summoning them, and also dispatching hostile ones.
