Trial of the Machine
The Trial of the Machine is the race trial required to awaken the Cyborg race. Unlike combat-based trials, this challenge tests the player's ability to survive a continuous barrage of bomb attacks for a set amount of time.
The trial takes place in an industrial-style arena and becomes increasingly difficult with each successful race awakening.

Trial Process
Step 1 – Enter the Trial
The Trial of the Machine can only be started during a Full Moon. You also need at least 3 players in the Temple of Time, with each player using a different Race.
Before starting the trial, make sure:
A Full Moon is active.
There are at least 3 players participating.
Each player has a different Race.
All participating players have their Race V3 ability ready.
Each player stands in front of the door corresponding to their Race inside the Temple of Time.
Once everyone is in position, the players must activate their Race abilities at the same time. This will activate the race trials and allow each player to enter their respective trial.
For a Cyborg player, the corresponding door leads to the Trial of the Machine.
Note: The Full Moon is important for activating the race trials. Make sure all players are ready before activating their abilities, as coordinating the timing makes the process much easier.
Step 2 – Enter the Trial of the Machine safer reposition.
Enter the Cyborg Trial door inside the Temple of Time.
You will be teleported to a grey industrial-style room with stone walls covered in pipes. The floor contains scattered gears and a large grey square arena in the center where the trial takes place.
Step 3 – Survive the Bomb Attacks
Once the trial begins, bombs will continuously fall throughout the arena.
You must survive for 45 seconds without being hit.
Before a bomb lands, its impact location is shown by a red warning circle on the ground. Use these indicators to identify dangerous areas and move away before the bombs explode.
Step 4 – Survive the Increasing Difficulty.
The trial becomes more difficult with each successful awakening.
Earlier trials are relatively easy, but later trials feature more frequent bomb drops and harder-to-predict attack patterns.
The fifth trial is particularly demanding, so staying alert and constantly repositioning is important.
Step 5 – Complete the Trial
After surviving the full 45 seconds without being hit, the Trial of the Machine is successfully completed.
You will return to the Temple of Time entrance and wait for the other players to finish their respective trials.
Once all participating players have completed their trials, the PvP phase begins. After completing the PvP phase, the winner can continue with the next stage of the Race V4 awakening.
Step 6 – Obtain Gear from the Ancient Clock
After winning the PvP phase, return to the Ancient Clock inside the Temple of Time.
Interact with the Ancient Clock to access the Race V4 gear/upgrade options and continue progressing your race awakening.
Tips
Keep moving constantly instead of staying in one position.
Watch the red warning circles carefully to predict where bombs will land.
Jumping can help when you are trapped between multiple warning zones.
The Pilot Helmet can provide a useful speed advantage and make repositioning easier.
Avoid standing still, especially during the third and fourth trials, when bomb frequency increases.
Stay especially alert during the fifth trial, where bomb patterns become much more difficult to avoid.
A known technique involves using Skull Guitar X near the final second to maintain movement and potentially use Flash Step for a safer reposition.
