Trial of Swirling Fear is one of the six Trials of Ascendancy, It can be found randomly in T6+ maps. It is a more challenging version of the similarly named trials found in The Crypt Level 1 (Act 2) and The Crypt (Act 7).

It demonstrates Spinning Blades, which are large traps which follow a set path along the ground, removing a fixed percentage of life/energy shield while touching the character. It is possible to modify the paths of some Spinning Blades by interacting with nearby switches.

Upon completing the trial, Izaro gives the message "Shine boldly so that all may find you when the night falls." and you are provided with a portal back to the entrance.
