The Behavioral Adjustment Facility Trial (B.A.F. or BAF) is one of the first two Incarnate Trials to be released with Issue 20 which takes place in Praetoria. As such, it is one of the first (and so far along with the Lambda Sector Trial, one of the only) instances of gameplay that was designed with Leagues in mind. A minimum of 12 and a maximum of 24 players can raid the B.A.F.

During the mission, a voice will "radio in" information about your progress. While there is no specific contact (the trial is entered entirely through the LFG menu), it is possible that your unseen helper is meant to be Prometheus as he was added in Issue 20 to recruit Incarnate-capable players to wage a war against Emperor Cole and end his quest to become more in-tune with the Well of the Furies.

All Issue 20 Incarnate Components will drop during this trial, and Psychic Incarnate Experience is gained towards unlocking the Judgement and Lore Incarnate Slots.

In Detail

The B.A.F. Trial is an incarnate Trial that takes place in Praetoria. There is no contact for this trial, though it could be argued that Prometheus is your contact. However, rather than going to anyone for a mission, the players use the LFG Menu to find other interested players via the Team-Up Teleporter. The trial consists of a single mission, broken into several distinct phases. Each phase has a timer and, with the exception of phase 3, the trial will be failed if the timer expires.

In the first phase, players must defeat a number of Warworks which are scattered throughout the BAF yard. Once that goal is met, all remaining mobs will despawn and phase 2 will begin.

For the second phase, Nightstar will appear and reinforcements, consisting of Victoria Mk VI,s, will spawn at her start point and move to her side periodically. These spawns will continue indefinitely, so players should be careful not to get overwhelmed. When she is defeated, phase 3 will begin.

For phase 3, the players will have to stop escaping Resistance prisoners. Prisoners will spawn from the green points on the minimap and will escape if they read the red markers. Players should be aware that Commando's are immune to all forms of mezzing or slowing them down. The trial fails if at any time before the countdown expires 20 or more prisoners have escaped. If the countdown expired before this happens, then phase 4 will begin.

Phase 4 is similar to phase 2, with Siege spawning and calling 9CU's as reinforcements. The 9CU's are significantly more dangerous than Nightstar's Victorias, so players should be very cautious to continue to attack them as they arrive, and not to focus exclusively on Siege. Once Siege is defeated, the 5th and final phase begins.

For the final stage, both Nightstar and Siege are resurrected, at the same locations where they were defeated, and both begin calling their respective reinforcements. They must be defeated within 10 seconds of each other, or the survivor will resurrect the downed enemy to full health. If this happens, there is usually sufficient time to make a second attempt. Attacking the reinforcements is especially critical at this stage, as they do not stop coming, and if allowed to build up to a sufficient level, it may become impossible to complete the trial.
