Tears of Themis is a romance detective game, the first of its kind from Mihoyo, as the company is best known for Honkai Impact 3rd, and, of course, its expansive open-world RPG Genshin Impact. The game sees you take on the role of a junior attorney as you enter a world of lies, deceit, and love – sometimes, all three come together in a way you least suspect, keeping you on your toes. However, there’s more to the game than meets the eye, including its Trials of Themis game mode.
With our Tears of Themis trial guide, we aim to provide details on what a Trial of Themis is, as well as give answers to all the questions you must answer – don’t worry, you don’t have to swear under oath, this isn’t that sort of trial. However, it does involve Greek gods, so try not to incur their wrath. Less lightning strikes you down.
If you enjoy Tears of Themis and have yet to experience other Mihoyo titles, you might want to check out Genshin Impact. In which case, we have a Genshin Impact tier list to let you know which characters are worth using. We also have a Genshin Impact codes list, because we all deserve a freebie now and then. Alternatively, you could take a look at our Honkai Impact characters list if Mihoyo’s other RPG tickles your fancy.

What are the correct answers for the Trials of Athena questions?
