Navigate the darkness of the Blindness Trial in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. Follow breezes, water, and campfires while avoiding shadowy creatures to complete Odin's challenge.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the Barnstokkr tree, jump left off the ledge to find the path leading to the Blindness Trial.
  2. 2
    Follow the breeze, indicated by controller vibration when facing the correct direction, out of the initial dark area. The path is generally visible as a slightly less dark area.
  3. 3
    Pass through the first archway. Turn right and follow the breeze towards a second archway in the distance.
  4. 4
    Continue forward to a locked door. Turn left and follow the wall until you reach the back of the door.
  5. 5
    Senua will note the breeze has stopped but she hears water. Turn towards the sound of running water and follow it. The sound will get louder as you approach.
  6. 6
    You will find a small stream. Follow it upstream, in the direction the water is flowing from. If you lose the stream, listen for the water's sound to reorient yourself.
  7. 7
    The stream leads to a cave. Duck under the low ceiling to enter.
  8. 8
    Continue until you reach a waterfall. Turn left to find a house.
  9. 9
    Go up the stairs to the upstairs window and Senua will enter the house.
  10. 10
    Inside, avoid the creepy, breathing shapes. Move to your right, away from the creature, then proceed forward, following the wall on your right. This wall will eventually turn left and lead you to the exit.
  11. 11
    Outside, you will see campfires. Use these as reference points. Move from campfire to campfire, prioritizing avoidance of the moving creatures around them.
  12. 12
    Pass 3-4 campfires. The last one has a wooden arch next to it, followed by a stone arch leading into another building.
  13. 13
    Follow the areas of light on the ground. The path will turn left, leading to a tightrope walk across a thin beam.
  14. 14
    On the other side, approach the well to automatically climb into it.
  15. 15
    You are now in waist-deep water. Move towards Dillion's light ahead, carefully avoiding the creatures moving in the darkness. The screen will change color if you get too close to a creature.
  16. 16
    Reach the area where you saw the light and climb the small ledge.
  17. 17
    You are now out of danger. Run towards Dillion's light to complete the challenge.
Tips
  • The screen is mostly dark, but the correct path is often a slightly less dark grey area.
  • Controller vibration indicates the direction of the breeze early on.
  • Listen for environmental sounds like water to guide you when visual cues are scarce.
  • When avoiding creatures, keep moving and use the environment as cover if possible.
  • Always maintain a point of reference, like campfires, to avoid getting lost.
