Seat of Sacrifice

Playing on PS4, I can't keyboard smash (it goes into the text box) but I find that two buttons pressed alternately is enough. The D-pad can be used as well as the symbol buttons, though I prefer to shift grip on the controller so I can hit the Triangle and Circle buttons with my pointer fingers instead of my thumbs.

you can still use the shoulder button can't you.
that's 6 buttons you can smash. 4 shoulders and 2 face with thumbs

As I was saying above, perhaps posted while you were reading the thread, I don't think the shoulder trigger buttons work.

Two buttons is comfortably enough for anything I've come across so far.

I'm fairly sure every button-mash is designed to be beatable if you're pressing one button fast enough, so two makes anything trivial.

I've never had an issue. I usually run my fingers over the d-pad and the buttons on the right side as quickly as I can in circles and I rarely have any problems. My thumbs are usually a tiny bit sore after but they're fine by the time Emet's cutscene finishes.

I only use two buttons when i do the quick time events. I'm on ps5 so I will either use the two you use or X and O and they're perfectly adequate.

ah I see.
I guess your thumbs are gonna have to work extra hard then xD
2 buttons on each side should do it.

Every button works. All 12 buttons. The Shoulders/Triggers, the D-Pad, and the Symbol Buttons.
At least they do on my ps4 controller, So I just hit every button and just win in 1 second, instead of 2 buttons and win at...idk 5 seconds?

I don't have a problem with the trials being hard. A few wipes doesn't hurt anyone. It's not like you have to run them more than once. The biggest thing for me with trials personally is the queue times given they can be pretty hard to get to pop depending upon the time of day.

In addition these trials do seem to be headed to Trust access so they should be easier to queue then and as to whether or not they make them easier to allow for Trust AI remains to be seen.

Every button works. I only use the triggers because its fairly comfortable for me. Takes me like 1 second to pass any QTE mash.

It's one of my favourite trials, both in normal and EX. I loved it from the first time and I never found it hard at all, I find much harder stuff like Zodiark. The thing with SoS is that it has mechanics that you can eaily guess just from watching them, they're easy to follow and no random weird stuff happens. And at the same time it's not boring, it's actually challenging enough to be fun.

I agree on the QTE, and luckily that's not a thing in EX, but it's really the only bad thing about it. Also actually getting to use LB as tank for once is a good thing.

I still vividly remember my first time running SoS, wiping 20+ times across 3 different DF groups (at least one of which disbanded because the timer was running out)
