Trial Road

Trial Road is a dungeon-style location connected to Shaman Village. In The Lost Age, Felix's party and the town leader Moapa compete in a dungeon race similar to Colosso in Golden Sun. It is laid out as two parallel dungeon paths, with different puzzles in them, and unlike Colosso you can choose which one to race on while Moapa races on the other. At the mountainous peak of Trial Road, the boss battle with Moapa and two Knights would ensue. Afterwards, after gaining the Hover and Lift Psynergies, a secret area near the peak houses a Jupiter Djinni.

Enemies
Note: The defense ratings for Moapa and the Knights vary depending on how well players do in Trial Road; the more times a player beats Moapa to the blue chests, the more the enemies' defenses drop.

Glitches
There is one rather noteworthy glitch in regards to the Trial Road test. When the test begins, if the player goes into their inventory and drops items and equipment, then later quits the same test by stepping on the arrow tile and choosing "Yes" then the dropped items will appear in the shop's Artifacts list (if they are classified as such). This is a one of the best glitches to exploit, since the 'dropped' items will be returned to your possession after quitting the test. This enables the player to restart the test and continually drop items, creating unlimited copies that can later be purchased. This allows multiple copies of unique items to be bought, such as the class-changing items as well as rare weapons, armor, and accessories.

~It has been noted that while being classified as Artifacts, this technique does not seem to work on stat-boosting items or forgeable items (rusted items notwithstanding). *citation needed*~
