For Item Trial, there are basically two ways people go about doing it.
a) Focus on getting certain items first (e.g., the direct drops)
b) Doing it all together.

I personally prefer doing it all at once.

Just figure out what monster you don't have to kill and spend the first 10 minutes or so killing everything else. You normally don't have to move around the map much and there won't be missed opportunities like option "a" (e.g., not killing a Garm next to you because you're focusing on other monsters even though you will need to kill Garm later).

An issue that some people have with this though is the constant switching of weapons if they're going to try to use different elements for each monster. Decent gear and a holy weapon is more than enough to use for everything though.
