Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice[]
Totem that gives access to the Tower Shard Trial
n this area, Senua will be in a large ruined tower, far from the tree. At the base, you can see Dillion's glow coming in. When you leave the boardwalk, you will find a bridge that leads to a giant, scary mask. By focusing on this mask, Senua will be transported to the tower as it was in the past, in relatively more pleasant times. Senua must overcome the enigmas of this pleasant reality that are interconnected with the other reality, which is basically the present, in order to continue the challenge. Through this giant mask, Senua willfully moves between the present and the past, and is able to advance and open the path and reach Dillion's glow. When opening the last runic gate that gives access to Dillion's glow, Senua carefully crosses the narrow plank to reach Dillion. But the moment she approaches this glow, she falls and awakens in front of the totem that gives access to the trial.
Gameplay[]
In this trial, Senua's main goal is to achieve Dillion's bright.
