Magisterium Trial Question

[Astralock]

I know that a second Tyrant (“Lil’ Tyrant”) often spawns at the start of the Magisterium trial in front of the Emperor Cole statue.  I know that the trial can fail if you defeat big Tyrant too quickly.

 

What I don’t know is this: What happens if you defeat Chimera before Nega-Pendragon and Shadow Hunter?

 

 I have heard whispers and rumors of Magisterium trials failing as a result of defeating Chimera first, but not how.

AFAIK, the game's supposed to start planting invisible proximity mines that mimic the Director 11 mechanic from Tin Mage (just as defeating Negaduck being defeated is supposed to add Battle Maiden fire to the fight, and Shadowhunter adding BAF, rings though I don't think I've ever actually seen either of those happen, so Chimy might be broken in the same way?).

I have seen the Battle Maiden blue fire rings, but never noticed BAF sequester rings.

But the blue fire is usually few and far between even when it is present and I've never personally observed anyone dying from them.

 

Sequester rings might have a really long CD, or get overwritten by Nega's death effect? Just guessing here.

 

But the blue fire is a thing for sure.

Don't recall ever seeing any of these, but here's what the wiki says is supposed to happen:

Ive been banished,  but only while tanking.  Everyone disappears and you can stroll around the peaceful magisterium grounds.

I have.  I led a Magisterium trial last week where two thirds of the league were Tankers and Brutes.  Despite warnings, quite a few were tanklocked and stayed in the blue, dying as a result. 😀
