The Five Sacred Trials are a series of tests in the World of Capsule Monsters. Yugi Muto, Joey Wheeler, Téa Gardner, Tristan Taylor and Solomon Muto undertook the trials in an attempt to return to their home world.

Events

Beginning

Before the shadows blanket the land, go to the Fortress of Fear. Locate the place where the spirit sleeps, And the pathway you seek will appear.

Yugi Muto attempts to open the tomb, ("the place where the spirit sleeps") before sunset, ("before the shadows blanket the land").

This instruction was written in hieroglyphics in the temple where La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp resided. Solomon was able to translate the hieroglyphics and the group realized that "before the shadows blanket the land", meant that they needed to complete the task before sunset. Joey figured the fortress was the structure on the map he had found.[1]

The group went through a tunnel, which brought them from the temple to the graveyard. After fighting off a mass of The Wandering Doomed and Wood Remains, they made their way to the Fortress of Fear.[1]

At the Fortress of Fear, they learned that they needed to copied the poses of the statues surrounding it to enter. Yugi went inside while Solomon, Joey, Téa and Tristan mimicked The Rock Spirit, Garuda the Wind Spirit, Spirit of Flames and Aqua Spirit statues. Yugi rushed to the coffin in the fortress, which he identified as the "place where the spirit sleeps". His haste caused him to fall through a trap, which left him in a room with the walls closing in. He was rescued after Yami Yugi freed Dark Magician from his capsule. Despite needing to get to the coffin by sunset, which drew close, the Yugis took time to get Dark Magician to rescue their friends from the statues, which had come to life.[1]

Yugi managed to open the coffin just before sunset. In doing so, he was endowed with the Duel Armor and more hieroglyphics appeared. Solomon translated them and learned that they would need to pass five trials.[1]

Trial 1

Silence the whisper that rides in the desert wind.

Yami Yugi faces Mystical Sand ("the whisper that rides the desert wind"), in an effort to silence her.

A previous visitor to the World of Capsule Monsters figured that the answer to completing the trial "lies in the eye of the storm".[2]

Yugi and his friends were told of this trial when they found a group of people living in the desert. They were taunted by the voice of Mystical Sand, who attacked them with a group of Medusa Worms. The group fought back, but Yugi and Yami figured that the worms were just a distraction and they needed to focus on finding the voice.[2]

Dark Magician carried Yami above the sandstorm when protecting him from a Medusa Worm and directed his attention to a twister, the source of the sandstorm. Yami attempted to make his way towards the tornado to get to the voice. On the advice of apparition of a masked man, Yami fused his Duel Armor with Dark Magician. Mystical Sand then called forward a number of Medusa Worm to block his entry to the eye of the storm, but Yami, in the Dark Magician armor, quickly defeated them.[2]

Mystical Sand came face-to-face with Yami Yugi when he entered the tornado. She created some demons from sand to attack him, but he easily defeated them. She also caused the sand to form a giant hand, which grabbed onto him, but he broke free. Finally Yami flew up close to her, attacked and destroyed her, hence silencing her and completing the trial.[2]

Trial 2: The Trial of Light and Shadows

Once a day, the unbreakable stone appears in the Valley of Light. To achieve the impossible, fight with a power that's greater than physical might.
