I second the motion for Sunday. o_o/ That's good for me...and Bob, I think?
(Edit: See Mekadave's post about the level range. Hm. That may be a problem. Anyway...)
It requires a team of six or more to start.
I've done this twice on Syndesis, and it's an extremely fun trial...if everything goes smoothly.
It's exceedingly difficult if things, well, don't.
The trial starts off with a hunt mission. Kill 150 Rikti in the abandoned sewers. This isn't as bad as it sounds. It goes quickly enough, and the entrance to the trial is in the middle of the abandoned sewers anyway.
Once you've done that, you get the actual trial mission... which is on a timer. 1 hr 30 min.
And that's both good and bad. Good, in that this ain't a trial that drags on forever. Bad, in the sense that you have to hustle.
It's possible to go straight to the bottom... but there's a few glowies along the way that must be collected. You need the temp power weapons to actually damage the Hydra.
Obviously, an Illusion Controller with group invisibility is a major boon in doing this mission. I've never tried it without one.
As a side note...the temp power weapons are best used by blasters and scrappers - the damage does scale according to your AT.
Superball would probably benefit more from doing the trial...experience and the dual-effect enhancement...but I suspect I'll need to bring Syndesis instead, to provide another character at max level...and 'cause she's more suited for this situation than Supes is. This mission is, as I said, very difficult.
But fun as hell.
