The Dilemma Diabolique Trial (DDT or DD) is one of the Incarnate Trials connected to the release of Issue 22 which takes place in Dark Astoria. A minimum of 8 and a maximum of 16 players can raid the Moth Cemetary.
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 both Psychic and Physical Incarnate Experience is gained towards unlocking the Alpha, Judgement, Lore, Interface and Destiny Incarnate Slots.

Incarnate System
- Incarnate Threads drop instead of Incarnate Shards.
- Psychic Incarnate Experience and Physical Incarnate Experience, which unlocks the Alpha, Judgement, Lore, Interface and Destiny Slots if any of those slots are locked.
- Once per 20 hour period, two Empyrean Merits will be awarded upon successful completion of the Trial.
- Any successive completion of the Trial within that 20 hour window will instead award only one Empyrean Merit (not sure if accurate). This functionality is essentially the Incarnate Trial version of Merit Reward Diminishing Returns.
