Walkthrough

1
To reach the Faith-Leap Trial, progress through the Gauntlet of Shar past the Statue of Shar puzzle. Unlock the northern circular door or take a detour west through a Cloaker lair.
2
After defeating the shadow Justiciars beyond the door or in the shrine, head down stairs to find the Gauntlet of Shar waypoint.
3
From the waypoint intersection, proceed north, past the Soft-Step and Self-Same Trials, then go down more stairs. You will find the entrance to the Faith-Leap Trial.
4
Enter the trial chamber. You will find an altar that requires a blood sacrifice. Beyond this altar to the west is the main trial chamber, a pit with three platforms shrouded in Darkness.
5
Observe the floor near the blood altar for a map showing golden lines on a black background, indicating the hidden shadowy path across the pit.
6
Carefully follow the path. The path only appears when no characters are nearby and vanishes when you are too close.
7
If you fall off the path, you will be returned to the beginning. Three falls will result in the character's death.
8
Avoid using long jumps or spells like Misty Step to cross large sections of the pit, as this will be treated as a fall. Shorter jumps to reach platforms are permissible.
9
Navigate to the far end of the chamber to claim the Umbral Gem.
10
If you forgot the blood sacrifice, you can have a character shed blood near the altar to activate the Umbral Gem for collection.
11
Once the Umbral Gem is obtained, you can teleport back.

Tips

Keep a character near the beginning of the puzzle to easily swap and view the map.
Use the map found near the blood altar as a reference for the path.
Quicksave frequently to mitigate any mistakes.
Shorter jumps can be used to cover the final distances to platforms.
