While exploring the Castle of Knives in Chapter 7, go to the southwest corner to find Kamala the Phonenix. Have a chat with her and agree to start her trial, resulting in “The Secrets of Suramgamin” errand. For the first trial, follow her instructions: convince the fey to stay still while not threatening them, watch out because it requires some checks. The second trial will bring you to the Temple of the Elk where you will meet up with Visaka the Unicorn. Do as he asks and don't shed blood, so don't hit or kill the monsters. A good advice for this trial is to turn off the party AI and use a character with control skill to frighten, stun and such, and resist until Visaka is done. Travel to Talon Peak for the third trial and meet Puja the Wolf. Before talking to him take a rest (trust me, you will need it soon), then start the conversation: don't get tempted to argue back, just be nice, and as he asks you to travel back to the Castle of Knives as fast as possible, do as he says. Be quick, don't rest along the way and just keep going no matter how exhausted you are (reason why I advised to rest beforehand; remember that, right now, teleportation circles are your best friends) as you won't pass the test if you take a nap. Get ready to face the fourth and last test by talking with Vidya the Lion: she will ask you three questions. If you actually read what the previous cultists taught you, you might already know the answers. If not, here's a list with all the possible questions and their answers. After it's done, head south and accept your title!
