Shandi’s Trial: Way of Wisdom
The last Shandi’s Trial was for Focusing; this one is made explicitly for Wisdom. Fight through all the Demonic creatures you face as you move across this dungeon.

Shandi’s Trial: Way of Courage
This Trial is an Illusion of Temerity boss fight to test your courage. The boss is a bit challenging for under-leveled players as his AoE attacks seriously damage the player. It performs rapid charging attacks, which are hard to dodge. The most straightforward Strategy to beat Temerity is Hit and Run; use your most single-targeted high-damage ability and dash away to a distance.
There is also a second phase of the boss. No matter what you do, he will do a high-damage attack to knock you out, which will trigger a cutscene where Zinnervale gives him a finishing blow. After defeating the boss, the last Bamboo Twig can be obtained, and claiming it finishes the quest.
