1. The Hunt: Due to the fact that Visarex's wild lands a full of large animals, the chapter sends Aspirants are sent out for two days with nothing but a combat knife and leather armour to hunt these animals, and bring the head of the largest one they killed.

2. Test of Endurance: Visarex is also home to large and powerful storms, usually blizzards and thunder storms. This is used for the second test, Aspirants are sent out with the simple objective to survive one of the planet's dangerous storms by any means necessary.

3. The Final Test: Finally, the remaining Aspirants are all sent into a large cage in which the entire chapter can witness them fighting to the death. This divides the weak from the strong and ends with the last one standing.
