In Sword of the Sea, players must restore water to the areas through several water points along the way. The game has a lot of collectibles, but one thing that might catch the eyes of many players is the Trick Attack Areas, which act as a challenge course. There are multiple trick areas in the game, and finding all of them, as well as beating their high score, will award players with two trophies and achievements. Here is where you can find them in Sword of the Sea.

Where to Find All Trick Attack Areas in Sword of the Sea

Veiled Sea

After you reach the area with the large door with a chain on either side, take the right path first and proceed through the wall-riding section. After this, you can interact with a button to cause all the sand in the area to drop down. A building will also rise up in the middle, where you must restore the water as part of the main story. To the left of this large building is a path that leads to the first Trick Attack Area. The high score to beat for this challenge is 8,000.

Lost Grotto

Upon reaching the area where you have to activate four switches, some of which are inside the tall buildings, look to your right to spot a large building. Make your way over to start the second Trick Attack Area. The high score to beat for this challenge is 10,000.

You can also come back to this challenge area after activating all the switches and restoring the water in the area to make traversal somewhat easier with the help of the kelp.

Frozen Tundra

After activating the first golden bell, you will come upon a very large and beautiful area where you must interact with two more bells. After going down the slope, head right toward the first tower with the second golden bell. Behind the tower, to the left, is a path that takes you to the third Trick Area, where the high score to beat the challenge is 10,000.

Sacred River

The last trick attack area is located in the sixth area, Sacred River. For this, you will have to proceed through a large portion of the level until you have to make your way to the floating island on top. On your way to the island, you have quite a few Water Rail sections, but throughout this, keep a lookout on the right side, where you can spot a small floating island. Activate all the lanterns to make the floating platforms appear, allowing you to make it to the other side, where the Trick Area is. The high score to beat for the last one is also 10,000.
