Test of Courage was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
The mysterious woman tasked Kassandra to travel to the Foundry of Hephaistos to fetch a helmet. Searching the tomb, Kassandra finds pieces of tablets detailing the life and legacy of "Gorgophone", and upon finding the helmet in a treasure chest, returns to the mysterious woman for answers.

If Faith: She comments on your great faith in humanity, hoping that you only see it for all the potential and failings.
If Character: She asks if you are not very principled, reminding you "one who stands for nothing, falls for everything", having seen all she needs to from you.
