Chronolith Trials are a part of the side activities in Final Fantasy XVI. They are stone monoliths that take you to a trial level where you can test your mastery over a specific Eikon. There are seven of them in the game, strewn all over the world of Valisthea. I found that discovering their locations can be quite challenging, so if you're struggling to find them all like I was, this guide will help you!

You can access the Chronolith Trials by discovering the vertically placed stone slabs, not unlike the Arete Stone in Cid's Hideaway.
