The PUBG 4.4 update has introduced a mythological shift to the battleground, replacing standard urban warfare with "Themed Trials" inspired by ancient legends.
1. Locate the Revamped Urban Areas
The first step to starting the Prometheus’ Trial is knowing where to drop. The 4.4 update has transformed four major landmarks on the map into mythical ruins:
Yasnaya Polyana
Mylta
Ruins
Ferry Pier
Look for the Sacred Fire landmark icon on your mini-map within these locations. These areas have undergone significant architectural changes, providing more verticality and cover, which you will need for the defense phase.
2. Ignite the Sacred Fire
Once your squad has secured the immediate area from other players, approach the central altar to Light the Sacred Fire.
3. Defend Against Waves
The core of the Prometheus’ Trial is the defense phase. You will face waves of guards attempting to extinguish the flame.
Focus Fire: Use high-capacity weapons like the newly adjusted LMGs or the JS9 to manage the crowd.
Utilize Themed Items: If you found a Spartan Flag earlier, plant it near the fire to create a buff zone that enhances your attack power and grants the "Unyielding State," preventing immediate knockdowns.
Watch the Perimeter: While fighting the AI, stay alert for other squads. High Honor trials are magnets for "third-party" attackers looking to steal your rewards.
4. Claim Your High-Tier Loot
Successfully guarding the fire until the timer expires completes the trial. A high-quality supply crate will spawn, typically containing Level 3 gear, flare guns, or specialized themed items like the Heart of Fury (which grants high-speed dashes).
