'''Trial of Sesrih''' is a guardian-initiated activity that can be triggered as a [[Public Event]] on [[Forum:Sainus|Sainus]], where a team of [[Guardian]]s defends a series of towers against waves of [[Hive]]. There are seven waves of increasing difficulty before teams can engage a final boss and end the event.

==Overview==
Found in the [[Forum:Bay of Nessius|Bay of Nessius]] of [[Forum: Sainus|Sainus]], participants must trigger the Trial event by approaching and interacting with the first tower plate. The tower will extend, and the event will begin. The participants must then eliminate seven progressively harder waves of Hive enemies before facing the encounter's boss. After each incursion site the fireteam will have a chance to redeem a reward chest before continuing with the event. Most waves will include the added challenge of having to locate and disable Shadowrifts by standing within them and shooting [[Void]] crystals, similarly to the Witches Ritual public event. Certain enemies also drop Hive [[Cleaver|Cleavers]], which participants may then pick up and use against remaining enemies.

Should participants run out of time to complete a wave or complete the final wave, the event will regress to the previous wave and start at that wave when activated for one minute, before resetting to the first wave. Sesrih will warn the participants a few moments before resetting the event. During the Story version of this event, there is no timer.

Trial of Sesrih features five daily-rotating final bosses, each with its own unique gameplay mechanic, similar to the [[Court of Oryx]] event from [[The Taken King]].
===Description===
In this event, Participants assist The Cabal in facing waves of progressively harder enemies. Every wave consists of four phases: 1. Eliminating Hive, 2. Closing 1 - 3 Shadowrifts, 3. Eliminating more Hive and 4. Eliminating a Hive boss. Waves 2 and 5 will run a modified Witches' Ritual Event. In the seventh and final wave, Participants must face a Hive boss in order to complete the encounter.
===Mechanic Notes===
*Bosses spawned during a Witches Ritual exit the portal alongside the Envoy.
*During an encounter, barriers will appear sealing the party and allies in the area.
*Player Deaths in this event are not permanent, any deaths incurred will be undone when the wave ends or if a TPK occurs.
**If a TPK occurs, the wave will automatically advance to the boss encounter on reset. If this occurs during wave 7, the event will go on cooldown and any remaining hive will have to be slain.
**However should this happen on any wave that isn't wave 7, the timer will reset to 2 minutes to kill all bosses. As an anomaly will automatically be triggered.
