Judgement

Judgement unlocks once the player has completed all other trials, and serves as the final boss of the gamemode. Unlike other trials, it has no set character and the player may choose which survivor to play as (though, the player is unable to select their abilities, being locked to their default loadout). Beating it with each survivor unlocks a unique skin for use in any future runs. The final trial is a very different challenge and experience to regular trials, so if you care about spoilers or experiencing it for yourself, don't click on the page link.
