Trials have diffirent unique mechanics shared amongst Trials.
 +
 
 +
===Chaos Trials===
 +
On occasion, two Trials can occur at the same location. The objectives for these two Trials are tracked separately and each reward their own {{Icons|nmeseta}} N-Meseta.
 +
 
 +
In Combat Sections, if one of the Chaos Trials is completed, PSE Gauge will increase by 1. If it's at 3 or 4, it will trigger a PSE Burst
 +
 
 +
===Rare Trials===

[[File:NGSScreenshot_BoostedTrial.png|thumb|alt=|A boosted Trial's popup, which is colored red instead of gray]]
 +
On rare occasions, Trials can have an increased difficulty. When these occur, the Trial Start popup is colored red instead of its usual gray colour.
 +
 
 +
Certain hazards that normally do not appear will spawn in these Trials, such as Bee Hives that shoot projectiles.
 +
 
 +
The following trials can be rare:
 +
 
 +
* Transport Truck Defense Trial,
 +
* Radical Reposession Trial.
 +

=== Co-Op Trial ===
 +
Occasionally you can have 1-2 NPC's join you in a Co-Op Trial. They do average damage and while they take damage, they cannot die. The NPC's that join you are mostly selected from the local ARKS of that region. They will dissappear a short while after Trial is concluded.

An example of a popup when a Trial starts

A Trial (also known as Emergency Trial or E-Trial) is an interrupt event that occurs suddenly in Exploration Sections, Combat Sections and Quests. These are indicated with "T" markers, which are visible from any part of the Section/Quest you are currently in.

Trials will task you with an objective, ranging from defeating a certain amount of enemies or a boss, to defending a transport truck or retrieving a Stellar Gift.

Trial targets are marked with the color of the Trial. Colors start from blue, go to cyan, then green, then loop back to blue. Enemies that are not Trial targets are marked yellow.

When a Trial is completed outside of a quest, you are awarded with 1500N-Meseta N-Meseta. Exclusively to Kvaris region, it will also award you a Tool (NGS) Icicle Orb ×1.

Defeating enemies not associated with another Trial - including Tames, can potentially cause an Trial to start elsewhere in the sector.

In Combat Sections, completing a Trial while the PSE Gauge is at level 4 will usually trigger a PSE Burst.

Some activites like Field Races and Gigantix apperances are considered internally to be Trials.

Trial Mechanics

Trials have diffirent unique mechanics shared amongst Trials.

Chaos Trials

On occasion, two Trials can occur at the same location. The objectives for these two Trials are tracked separately and each reward their own N-Meseta N-Meseta.

In Combat Sections, if one of the Chaos Trials is completed, PSE Gauge will increase by 1. If it's at 3 or 4, it will trigger a PSE Burst

Rare Trials

A boosted Trial's popup, which is colored red instead of gray

On rare occasions, Trials can have an increased difficulty. When these occur, the Trial Start popup is colored red instead of its usual gray colour.
