Trial of Hearing | Mission 2: The Call of Malassa - main quests Heroes VI - Shades of Darkness Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Objective: collect three Whispers
Reward: 10200 EXP, +5 Magic Power
Speaking to the Faceless (M1, 5) will begin the hearing trial. Your task is finding three whispers scattered throughout the area. The first one is right beside you, a bit to the north (M1, 6). It's defended by timber wolves which shouldn't be any threat to you. After defeating the enemies you can collect the whisper and move on. The second whisper (M1, 7) is protected by a group of Minotaurs. The fight should be rather simple as long as you keep them at distance.
The third whisper can be found directly behind the panthers (M1, 8). I'd recommend saving your game and keep beginning this fight over and over again until your loses are minimal. Unfortunately the panthers begin the fight hidden, so you have to anticipate the path they will follow. You should keep on loading until you come across a single big group of panthers - it's much easier to fight a big pack than searching for multiple smaller ones. Once they're dead, you can pick up the last whisper.
The Faceless will once again appear and ask you to make a choice whether you would support Menan or Sylsai in case of defeat. An additional prize for making the choice is 100 Blood or Tear points. After choosing your answer, the trial will end and you will be able to head further east.
